Underscreed: reducing noise and increasing comfort
Applied to the floor between the structural slab and the screed during the construction process, an underscreed significantly reduces the propagation of impact noise through the structural elements of the building and improves its sound insulation. In addition, by helping to limit heat losses, it also has an influence…

What conclusions have you reached?
The study developed by EY, based on the selected case studies, concluded that cork oak forests provide benefits to society worth on average over € 1300 / ha per year. The value of the total quantified services is an underestimate of the total value of the ecosystem services associated to the cork oak forest. This ecosy…
