SMARTPLY MAX DB and SURE STEP DB panels meet 40dB sound insulation standards, offering lighter, more durable, and sustainable flooring options.

Leading manufacturer of sustainable wood-based panels, MEDITE SMARTPLY, has revealed that recent UKAS-accredited flooring testing have resulted in a 40dB airborne sound insulation rating for its SMARTPLY MAX DB and SMARTPLY SURE STEP DB panels. For internal residential flooring in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, this performance satisfies the requirements set forth in the Building Regulations.

Construction sites can handle and transport the SMARTPLY MAX DB panel with ease because it is a 30% lighter, stronger, and thinner substitute for conventional chipboard alternatives. In the meantime, improving both safety and energy efficiency, the SMARTPLY SURE STEP DB panel provides an impermeable, long-lasting, and non-slip solution.

In order to create comfortable homes, noise reduction is crucial, according to Roly Ward, Head of Business Development at MEDITE SMARTPLY. In his words, solar panels do more than just comply with regulations but also contribute to sustainable building practices with their low embodied carbon footprint.

SMARTPLY OSB panels are completely approved, UKCA and CE stamped, and made from responsibly managed Irish forests. Because of their lack of additional formaldehyde, they support better living environments. As the industry moves toward a net-zero future, the panels are made to assist energy-efficient building practices.
