Where Speedline Resilient Bar is to All sound insulation data is based on laboratory evaluation of the building element in isolation and cannot reproduce your installed local conditions. The actual tests carried out are used to offer an order of magnitude comparison for the performance of the various systems. Sound insulation on site is a function of the partition chosen and the associated structures in which it is installed. Speedline cannot take any responsibility for overall design and would advise that specialist advice is sought at an early stage of design. All test data and system specifications are for systems constructed with materials and components as shown. The inclusion of other components without prior approval or constructed on site contrary to these documents will invalidate test certification and system performance.
