• What is a dB rating?

  Manufacturers of Movable Walls market their products based on data that is derived from test done in a controlled environment, normally in an Acoustic Testing Laboratory. The sound insulation values of lab tested walls are generally given as Rw Db ratings. These tests can be used as a comparison but the actual field rating acoustics of the Movable Wall will probably be worse, this is defined as the DnTw Db The difference is because real-life buildings are not as well built as laboratorie

This results in complaints from users and in the worst case, loss of revenue as a result of poor acoustic performance.
