Make your building sound good!

Sound impacts our everyday environment in ways we don´t even think about. A good sound environment plays a crucial role in making a space functional, comfortable, and productive for its occupants. It may not always be possible to control the source of noise but using quality sound insulation in the building envelope can optimize the acoustics of a space to suit its purpose.

  • Adheres to good acoustic principles
  • Embedded noise absorption gives you design freedom
  • Adaptability for different building use
  • Fewer work phases for increased efficiency and safety
  • High value at economical prices
  • Easy, quick, and safe installation
  • Ability to improve occupants´wellbeing, efficiency and productivity
Our smart integrated sound environment solution helps you design an acoustic environment that can enhance people´s wellbeing, improve work efficiency and bring harmony to the space, be it office, school, sports, or industrial buildings. Wide range of profiled load bearing roofing sheets come with high absorption properties, cutting out background noise, reducing echoes, reverberations, and other distracting background noise which could slow down work and reduce productivity. 

Ruukki´s solutions improve the sound environment of a space by using strategic perforations, combined with absorptive surfaces like high-performance mineral wool, acoustic infill, and acoustic layers. They work together to absorb unwanted sound reflections and noise inside the space and improve the overall acoustics making the space more enjoyable for its occupants.

 

Get it right the first time — complete integrated sound solutions for cost-efficiency 

Ruukki’s integrated sound environment solutions are embedded in a building envelope which also offers features such as fire safety and thermal comfort. This reduces the need for the application of additional absorptive layers on the interior surface of the roof. 

When you account for your space´s sound design right in the construction stage itself, you don´t have to worry about the expenses and effort of retrofitting solutions in the future once the building is ready. The lightweight, economical, and easy-to-install modular solutions will ensure your space is future-ready to adapt to different sound needs while offering the benefits of faster, more convenient, and more cost-efficient installation.

Why Ruukki® Roof Sensor?

articles-infograph

Safety for large roof surfaces

The benefits of the Ruukki® Roof Sensor system are particularly emphasised on large roof surfaces, where snow drifts unevenly. Similarly, the structure and moisture of snow can vary, which significantly affects the weight of the snow found on the roof. The Ruukki® Roof Sensor continuously measures snow loading at critical points and tells the persons in charge when a snow should be removed. As a result of this solution, uncertain manual measurement of snow thickness is no longer necessary.

Savings from no unnecessary snow removals

Snow removals cause extra expense. Unnecessary snow removal is common, because it’s difficult to predict the weight of the snow. The Ruukki® Roof Sensor saves on maintenance costs by eliminating unnecessary snow removal. The system measures changes in the snow load, providing a warning and triggering an alarm to let you know the last point in time the snow must be removed for safety reasons.

Peace of mind and ease of monitoring

The Ruukki® Roof Sensor increases not only safety but also the peace of mind of architects, structural designers, real estate owners and property maintenance personnel. When safety is diligently planned, and monitoring is well-organised, the entire life cycle of the building is positively affected, and concerns over questions of liability are eliminated. It’s also good to know that the roof of a real estate property, industrial hall or shopping centre will not collapse due to too heavy snow load.

Added value to real estate investments

Real estate safety is an image element for many operators. When the Ruukki® Roof Sensor supervises the snow loading on the roof, personnel and clients can relax, secure in the knowledge that they don’t need to keep checking the roof, wondering whether or not it’s safe. It is. Moreover, a system that ensures safety under sale or rental conditions increases the value of the site.

Smart utilisation increasing

A smart roof is the first concrete result of the Ruukki® Sensor Network development system. In the future, there will be more and more digital solutions, and monitoring will offer more information than ever before regarding, for instance, the status of building parts, general condition and previous loading situations. In addition, extra sensors can be added to the system to monitor, for instance, the moisture history of building envelope structures.

Poimu software for dimensioning load-bearing sheets

Dimensioning software, Poimu, allows you to optimise product choice according to the Eurocode. Simply by defining some basic input data you can select a load-bearing sheet for their needs from Ruukki's selection. This quick optimisation tool covers 1-, 2-span and continuous structures and gives the exact solution as to what sheet should be used, as well as its length.

Load-bearing sheets

Load-bearing sheets are a cost-effective roof solution for achieving long spans, which eliminates secondary steelwork. They may also be designed as a stressed skin to distribute horizontal loads to the frame/foundations. Acoustical sound reverberation and echo control can be efficiently incorporated into the ceiling structural or architectural design.
