Environmental Licences

In the last quarter we have dealt with 2 politically affiliated clubs that have had problems with their entertainment licences about to be revoked. Together with our acousticians we were able to offer multiple solutions including acoustic glass panels. The problems arose that council environmental noise officers tested DB levels consistently above 90. Without reduction pretty quickly,these clubs would not be able to continue with bands on there premises,therefore loss of major income.

Our in house complete service; testing,advice,method and implementation of systems not only gave these clubs peace of mind but it also enabled there revenue streams to continue unhindered. Proof that whatever your soundproofing issues maybe we can offer a complete solution.

Soundproofing Challenge – Uxbridge

The last few months have produced a number of interesting and successful projects for Metropolitan. In Uxbridge we were commissioned to completely insulate and soundproof The Car Paint Shop. This was an interesting and challenging but ultimately, successful. Basically the rear of this bloc and steel construction was primarily the store and workshop. The rear has been converted by the owner into mezzanine accommodation.

The challenge brought about by the proximity of the railway and major construction site nearby, was to sound insulate to an acceptable level. We carried out a complete overhaul by spray insulating the roof with low density open cell acoustic foam.

Then following the contours of the building we installed 12cm MF acoustic walls and ceilings. These steps provided the client with sleep at night as well as a green energy low emission,thermally efficient structure. Another example of how Metropolitan can rise to any soundproofing challenge.
