Hello,
Our apartment block is in NSW.
We have the original standard by-law concerning hard flooring.
“14 Floor coverings
(1) An owner of a lot must ensure that all floor space within the lot is covered or otherwise treated to an extent sufficient to prevent the transmission from the floor space of noise likely to disturb the peaceful enjoyment of the owner or occupier of another lot.
(2) This by-law does not apply to floor space comprising a kitchen, laundry, lavatory or bathroom.”The by-law is open to interpretation.
Our building manager suggested the by-law be changed to include a reference to a noise standard.
He recommended a Cat 5 standard.
Has anyone had experience with this standard of noise insulation?
Is this standard too high or too low?
Is it difficult to find suppliers to install Cat 5 flooring?
Any notable problem using this standard?
Thanks in advance for any help.
