A deep technical guide explaining mass-spring-mass acoustic decoupling, impact noise attenuation in multi-storey floor cassettes, and Euroclass A1 non-combustible rockwool fire barriers rated up to REI 120.
Detailed breakdowns, physical data, regulatory standards, and practical jobsite execution recommendations.
Unlike solid concrete which relies only on heavy mass to reflect sound (often failing at low frequencies), LGSF multi-layer composite walls use two dense board leaves separated by an acoustic damping air cavity filled with rockwool, dampening 56+ dB of external traffic and airborne noise.
To completely eliminate footfall thuds and creaks between floors, our engineered floor cassettes combine high-density acoustic rubber perimeter strips, 50mm high-density mineral wool sub-screed boards, and acoustic resilient ceiling suspension channels.
Steel is non-combustible (Euroclass A1). Under fire conditions, double layers of fire-rated Type F gypsum plasterboard and 1000°C basalt rockwool insulate the steel framing, maintaining core temperatures safely below steel's 500°C yield point for 60 to 120 minutes.

Unlike timber which acts as fuel and generates toxic smoke and carbon monoxide, steel frame villas are 100% incombustible. Steel adds zero fuel load to a fire and does not emit smoke, guaranteeing superior evacuation safety and meeting the strictest European residential fire codes.
By employing mass-spring-mass acoustic physics: dense external sheathing (BoardeX), resilient channel decoupling, high-density rockwool cavity damping, and double interior plasterboards interrupt sound vibrations effectively.
Assemblies are tested and classified under EN 13501-2 and EN 1365-1. The Class A1 non-combustible steel frame and mineral wool core protected by fire-rated gypsum boards achieve certified REI 60, REI 90, and REI 120 fire ratings.
