The new product has many new features: Thanks to the installation height of just 75 mm with a 1200x1200 mm shower element (depends on the drain that is chosen), it is the ideal solution for most bathroom renovations. With the Poresta® BFR 75, conventional drain systems from many different manufacturers can be installed quickly and easily (e.g. ACO, Dallmer, ESS, Geberit, TECE, Sanit, Viega). This dispenses with the need for additional drain adapters.
On site, the 1200x1200 mm standard element can be trimmed to suit the size of the shower and can also be enlarged with an extension element. So that the shower board can be installed easily at the building site, it comes in two parts. The bottom of the board has channels for the drainage pipes. When the shower area has been tiled, it is accessible with a wheelchair (minimum tile size 100x100 mm or 50x50 mm with fibre glass reinforcement in the tile adhesive).
Poresta®BFR 75 comes complete with a KMK coating – A general test certificate is being prepared for the seal. In addition, a recent technical statement from the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (Fraunhofer Institut für Bauphysik)
confirms that the Poresta® BFR 75 shower element can also be installed where increased soundproofing according to DIN 4109 is needed; values for certification according to SIA 181 are also available.
poresta systems GmbH has provided sound test values according to DIN 4109 and SIA 181 for its products for many years and has continuously increased and expanded these. For example, soundproofing values are now available for all Poresta floor-level shower systems when they are installed with the optional Poresta®soundproofing accessories.
Based on measurements in the laboratory, a sound level of just 14 dB(A) can be achieved in the rear of the basement when Poresta®BFR is installed in combination with the complete Poresta®soundproofing set no. 2. Values for reducing impact sound transmission are also available. The reduction in impact sound transmission is 28 dB, which enables increased protection against sound transmission. Impact sound protection is especially important where shower areas are also entered with shoes, such as nursing homes, hotels and hospitals.
poresta systems provides an extensive range of brochures on impact sound transmission according to DIN and SIA, which can be downloaded at www.poresta.com or be ordered from poresta systems.
