Aislamiento acústico en cubetas de cartón para viviendas con cubiertas de zinc

Abstract

As it is known, zinc roofs are very common in Colombian homes, specifically in rural areas and those that do not have high economic resources in the cities. However, it is important to emphasize that unlike other types of roofs, these have certain benefits and some disadvantages, emphasizing that in the market their price can be very low compared to other types of roofs such as those made of fiber cement or metaldeck, with zinc being a more affordable option, but this does not mean that they are the best option due to certain deficiencies that affect the comfort of people in their homes. In other words, the present work tried to investigate on a problematic one in concrete which was based on the acoustic contamination that appears in the zinc covers due to the materiality of the roof, causing effects in the people already be physical or psychological disturbing its performance in its day to day for this was analyzed who were the users who commonly use this type of covers in one of the localities of Bogota. Within this context, an interest was generated in analyzing the construction system of the zinc roofs, determining its shortcomings and its problems at the level of acoustic comfort in the home, leading to the present work to develop hearing insulation in a recycled material that allows better sensory conditioning and that in turn is easily coupled to the construction system of the zinc roofs so that this will generate a considerable reduction of noise produced by the roofs.
