Isolgomma

ISMT collaborates with Isolgomma, an Italian company specialising in sound insulation and vibration damping. We use this material mainly for sound attenuation in residential and commercial buildings, production facilities and infrastructure. A nice part of this insulation, is the environmentally friendly materials used for this purpose. This is because the basis of the material is recycled rubber from car tyres and washing machine sealing rings, among others. So we offer a green solution for acoustic comfort.

Collaboration

“The BAU Messe in Munich in 2009. That’s where the adventure between Isolgomma and ISMT began,” says Virgilio Cunico, sales and marketing director. “We find each other in our pursuit of a pleasant living environment for people with attention to the environment. That’s what makes our collaboration so powerful.”

Of all the projects we have done together over the past 15 years, the renovation of a building on the Herengracht in Amsterdam is memorable. “Truly a high-end project. The property had wooden floors so acoustic insulation was an important part of the project. The building structure was just not common in Italy so we had to do a lot of calculations. There was also a lot of focus on the comparison between rock wool, the usual insulation material in the Netherlands, and recycled rubber which we work with. In the end, the project was awarded to us.”

But renovation is a broad concept. So we also picked up projects together that revolved around supermarket renovations. Locations where the building above the supermarket had a residential use. All the floors were insulated so that shopping trolleys and supply carts no longer caused noise pollution.
