Achieve Quiet Plumbing for Apartments with REHAU RAUPIANO PLUS Acoustic Plumbing

RAUPIANO PLUS is an acoustically rated polypropylene drainage system ideal for multi-unit residential projects such as apartments and townhouses. The system conforms to the BCA/NCC rating for habitable areas without the need for lagging due to the pipe being made from a dense mineral reinforced polypropylene, its modular sound absorbing bends and its sound-dampening brackets that minimise sound transfer between the pipe and building structure. In other words, it dampens sound so apartment-dwellers aren't subject to the showering, dishwashing and toilet flushing of neighbours.

The system features rubber ring seals which provide a faster installation when compared with PVC or HDPE. Being acoustically rated also provides the minimum number of trades as laggers are not required to be on site after the plumbers have completed their installation of the drainage.

RAUPIANO PLUS has been used in large commercial and multi-unit residential projects including, apartments, aged care facilities and hospitals throughout Australia and New Zealand. Installers have saved time and materials by using RAUPIANO PLUS for their projects and minimised the number of trades on site.
