As medium‑density housing continues to grow across New Zealand, noise transmission between dwellings is consistently identified as one of the biggest impacts on resident wellbeing and quality of life.
While the Building Code sets minimum acoustic standards, real‑world experience shows that Code‑compliant buildings can still fall short of acoustic comfort.
At KOROK, we believe acoustic performance should be designed for how buildings are actually lived in — not just how they are tested. Our building systems can achieve STC ratings of 65 and above, supporting Code‑plus acoustic outcomes that deliver greater privacy, reduced noise complaints, and better living experiences in medium‑density developments.
Early acoustic design, robust systems, and predictable performance make the difference.
