Acoustic longevity is vital to the users of a building. Due to the mass and elasto-plastic properties of bituminous waterproofing systems they dampen the impact noise of rain and hail and help make buildings a pleasant environment in which to work and live.
Bitumen waterproofing systems under heavy protection of gravel, screed, roof gardens, or plant cover can also significantly add to acoustic comfort by both filtering the noise of impact, and by attenuating a high degree of ambient noise.
