Brymec’s new VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions

Quietness redefined

Unwanted noise in buildings can be so frustrating. It can make being inside uncomfortable, making it difficult to work and almost impossible to sleep. It’s even more frustrating when the source is the workings of the building itself, such as when you hear sounds from installed wastewater systems operating. That’s why it’s essential that noise reduction mechanisms are incorporated during construction. Once complete, it could be very costly to rectify the problem, if it can be fixed at all.

That’s where our new VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions come in. Designed with the primary objective of eliminating the risk of unwanted noise transmission from installed wastewater systems in new buildings, they output an optimal 12dB when in operation, which is considerably quieter than the sound of a person’s whisper. It dampens noise so well you can hear other sounds clear as day, whilst removing the need for lagging once and for all.

An output of only 12dB?

How does it achieve such a low level of noise transmission, both through the building structure and airborne noise? Using the latest technology, Brymec developed high-performance multilayer pipes at the optimum weight and density, which combine with a vast range of fitting configurations specifically designed with special features to further dampen sound. Piping is made up of three Polypropylene layers, all with a different purpose, which ensures that sound waves lose energy as they pass through each layer. The middle layer, with added reinforcing minerals, provides the key source of soundproofing, as well as adding strength and stiffness. Special acoustic-dampening pipe clamps add even more acoustic performance.

The middle layer adds strength and stiffness to the entire system, which points to another benefit of our VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions – excellent durability. The outer layer is highly resistant to UV, stopping the pipe from becoming brittle, and it is also impervious to almost all environmental conditions, which means it can handle impacts with ease, even at lower temperatures. With a low coefficient of expansion, they won’t deform – removing the need for expansion sockets for standard applications. Under normal usage, VOX will give decades of trouble-free service.

Maintenance is really easy too, thanks to the smooth, white, abrasion-resistant inner layer. Most chemicals are not a problem with our VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions, including surfactants, even when at high temperatures. This layer is designed to maximise the flow rate and reduce the formation of deposits, thus reducing the risk of blockages. When combined, the properties of all three layers result in high-performance noise-dampening with unbeatable durability, protection against weather and impact, and strong resistance to chemical damage.

Performs in numerous applications

Due to the superior sound reduction properties, our VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions are particularly suitable for use in hotels, multi-occupancy residential or mixed-use buildings, high-quality residences, public buildings, scientific and healthcare projects, and in buildings where quiet is essential, such as museums, libraries, schools, colleges and universities. They’re even a perfect fit for some maritime applications and are ideal for swimming pool drainage, secondary water drainage and rainwater downpipes.

Our VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions are a dream to use on-site

Installation is quick, easy and economical due to its push-fit system with a unique, double-lip seal that can’t be removed. This special double-lip design ensures a perfect seal that is reliable to 0.5 bar pressure or even during backflow or under vacuum. As such, lagging is not required, saving even more time and resources.

For even more certainty and peace of mind

It’s not only the eventual building’s users that will feel more certainty and better peace of mind. Sub-contractors also benefit from Brymec Breeze, our revolutionary supply chain model from which we’ve removed all middlemen. This ensures that all Brymec products and systems are delivered with fast turnaround directly to the building site from our central distribution centre, through a single point of contact. All project needs are accounted for too, as our VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions come in sizes from 32mm up to 200mm. They also come with the security of a full 10-year warranty.

Our VOX Acoustic Waste Solutions provide excellent acoustic performance and durability and exceptional peace of mind for builders, specifiers and ultimately, the people who reside in and use buildings with these solutions installed. They also perfectly complement our large range of high-performance plumbing and HVAC solutions, ranging from the plant room to all corners of the building.
