Use our Soundproofing Products for the Robust Details scheme
We can give you advice and guidance on soundproofing that can be used for the Robust Details scheme, making it even easier to use this alternative to pre-completion sound testing for satisfying Part E of the Building Regulations. This scheme involves a detailed inspection of the building, including insulation, windows, and doors, to ensure that the building meets the highest standards of soundproofing and robustness. If the building meets the criteria, it is then awarded a Soundproof Robust Detail Building Certification, a symbol of quality.
What is the Robust Detail Building Certification Scheme?
The Soundproof Robust Detail Building Certification Scheme is a program designed to ensure the highest level of soundproofing and robustness of a building. The scheme involves a thorough inspection of all aspects of the building, from the insulation of the walls and floors to the windows and doors, to ensure that the building meets the relevant regulatory performance standards and is practical to build on-site. Once the inspection is complete, the building is assigned a score on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest possible score. If the building meets the criteria, it is then awarded a Soundproof Robust Detail Building Certification. This certification demonstrates that the building has met the highest level of soundproofing and robustness.

What is a Soundproofing Robust Detail in Construction?
When it comes to sound installation requirements, Building Regulations Document E outlines the need for robust detailing. This includes making sure that cavity walls are designed with the highest level of acoustic performance for new builds. The goal is to create walls that are as soundproof as possible.
A soundproofing robust detail in construction is a detailed plan that is designed to help reduce the amount of sound that passes through a building’s walls and other structures. It typically includes the use of sound-absorbing materials such as acoustic foam, double-glazed windows, and soundproofing insulation. This type of detail also includes the installation of soundproofing barriers such as membranes, boards and sealants. It is important to note that the effectiveness of soundproofing details depends on the specific materials, installation methods, and overall design of the project. When used properly, a soundproofing robust detail can be highly effective in reducing the amount of sound that passes through the walls and other structures of a building.
Who runs the Robust Details Certification Scheme?
Robust Details Limited is a non-profit distributing organisation that runs the 'Robust Details Certification Scheme', which assists developers of new homes in demonstrating their ability to meet the minimum sound insulation standards laid out in building regulations. The scheme is funded by fees paid when registering a plot. As an alternative to pre-completion sound testing, which is necessary to comply with Part E of the building regulations (resistance to sound passage), the scheme is applicable to new dwellings that are built adjoining each other. It is not suitable for conversion, home extensions or the renovation of existing properties.
When can Robust Details be used on Soundproofing?
Only new builds which are attached dwellings can be registered with the Robust Details Scheme; any extensions or renovations to existing dwellings are ineligible. Robust details can be used on soundproofing when additional soundproofing is required beyond the standard level. Robust details are typically used in buildings with high levels of sound insulation, such as hospitals, schools, residential homes, and other places where soundproofing is of paramount importance. Depending on the construction materials used and the level of soundproofing desired, robust details can include the use of mass-loaded vinyl, insulation, acoustic sealant, acoustic foam, and other soundproofing materials and techniques.
Why use the Robust Details Certification Scheme for Soundproofing?
The benefits are clear - using Robust Details avoids the need to carry out pre-completion sound testing. This eliminates the risk and uncertainty of remedial action being required on completed floor or wall constructions, with the potential delays in completing the property.
The Robust Details certification scheme is a great way to ensure top quality soundproofing for your home. It is a government-approved system that ensures that soundproofing products meet the highest standards, offering maximum protection from noise pollution. The scheme includes a detailed assessment of the products in order to guarantee that they meet the required standards. This assessment helps to ensure that the products are fit for purpose and will provide the kind of soundproofing that you are looking for.
Using the Robust Details certification scheme is beneficial for a number of reasons. Firstly, it provides a guarantee of quality and performance. Secondly, homeowners have peace of mind knowing that their soundproofing products have been approved by the government. Thirdly, using certified products will save time and money in the long run as they are less likely to need replacing or repairs. Finally, the scheme is regularly monitored and updated, ensuring that it is always up to date with the latest soundproofing technologies.
In conclusion, the Robust Details certification scheme is an excellent way to ensure the highest quality soundproofing products for your home. It offers a guarantee of performance and quality, as well as being regularly monitored and updated. This makes it the perfect choice for anyone looking for the best soundproofing available.
How does the Robust Details work?
Users must select the details from the scheme handbook, register their plots on the scheme website before starting construction, and inform building control. The details must then be built in accordance with the handbook specifications. Plots are selected randomly and tested for compliance. Since 2004, 98% of the tests conducted have either met or exceeded the minimum requirements of the building regulations, and no correctly built detail has failed. In cases where tests do not pass, building control is notified and may require that corrective work is done and/or sound testing is conducted before completion. Since there are numerous design solutions which are complex, it is impossible to guarantee that the details will be compatible with other building regulations or standards.
