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.
