Välipohjaverho

Välipohjaverho refers to a type of textile or fabric layer used in construction, specifically within the intermediate floor structures of buildings. Its primary function is to act as a sound barrier, reducing the transmission of noise between different levels of a building. This is particularly important in multi-story residential and commercial buildings where acoustic comfort is a significant consideration.

The material composition of a välipohjaverho can vary, often incorporating sound-absorbing properties. It is typically installed during the construction phase, placed between floor joists or integrated into the floor slab assembly. By dampening vibrations and absorbing sound waves, it helps to create a quieter internal environment, mitigating common issues like footfall noise or airborne sounds from adjacent floors.

In addition to acoustic insulation, some välipohjaverho materials may also contribute to thermal insulation, offering a secondary benefit. The specific type and thickness of the välipohjaverho used are determined by building codes, acoustic performance requirements, and the overall design of the floor structure. Its presence is a key component in achieving desired soundproofing levels and enhancing the livability of a building.
