A quick & accurate tool for predicting the sound insulation in walls, floors and ceilings.
INSUL is a software for calculating the sound insulation of walls, floors and ceilings. Results are predicted in 1/3 octave bands and weighted values. INSUL is currently available in version v9.0 with a multi language user interface and is developed by Marshall Day Acoustics.

Functions:
- Calculation of the sound reduction index R for rigid and flexible walls, ceilings and floor structures (calculation of up to three shells)
- Calculation of the impact sound level for ceilings
- Calculation of rain noise (ISO 140-18)
- Calculation of sound insulation for glazing (up to triple glazing, standard glass, laminate glass)
- Calculation of sound insulation for sandwich panels and trapezoidal sheets

- Calculation of the composite sound insulation value
- Auralisation of the sound insulation
- Data Export to SONarchitect ISO and Bastian
- PDF-Export
New in version v9.0:
- Newly designed program interface with 3D graphics
- Calculation of floating screeds with polystyrene or mineral fibre insulation boards
- Improved auralization, expandable user library for audio files; auralizations can now be saved
- New connection types / frame types
- Thermal insulation of glazing (acc. to EN 673)
- Database with metal or wooden stands (standard sizes selectable from menu)
- Calculation of pitched roofs
- Better handling for large and small screens (interface elements can be customized to your needs)

INSUL - Demo version / 30-day license
The demo version of INSUL is available for free download. In demo mode the material selection is random.
For practical calculations, we provide a valid, time-limited software key on request, with which the full range of functions can be tested. A new download is not necessary.
