Bette has developed various solutions to ensure that bathing and showering are quiet affairs. For instance, in order to minimise the sound being transferred to the building structure, the legs of Bette's baths and the installation frame of Bette's shower trays are soundproofed, as are the bath anchors that are used to secure the bath to the wall. Underpinning tapes and soundproofing tapes on the wall-side edges of the baths and the installation frame also reduce sound transmission. Furthermore, so-called noise suppression mats made of bitumen, which also have a soundproofing effect, can be attached out of sight to the body of the Bette bath or shower tray.
If the soundproofing measures are carried out professionally and completely, Bette baths are soundproofed to DIN 4109/A1 as standard. If Bette's Universal installation system is used for the shower trays, then the noise level when using the shower is merely 20 dB, which complies with the requirements of DIN 4109/A1 and the higher requirements as per VDI 4100 SST III – which has also been confirmed in checks by DEKRA.
Showering can be even quieter with Bette's ultra-flat shower trays and shower surfaces if the company's minimum support is used, which is simply glued onto the screed or wooden floor. The sound level in this instance is only 17 dB, which far exceeds even the strict requirements of sound insulation level 3 of VDI 4100. And provides more quiet and intimacy when showering in badly soundproofed buildings in particular.
