Achieve Acoustic Comfort Without Pipe Lagging

RAUPIANO PLUS conforms to the BCA/NCC rating for habitable areas without the need for lagging thanks to its dense Mineral Reinforced PolyPropylene composition, modular sound absorbing bends, and sound-dampening brackets that minimise sound transfer between the pipe and building structure.

REHAU RAUPIANO is specified by some of the leading Engineering Consultants across both North and South Islands. Raupiano is Clyne and Bennies preferred acoustic waste pipe system for all their residential/commercial and retirement village projects.

RAUPIANO PLUS has been used in commercial projects including hospitals, apartments, and retirement villages as well as residential applications throughout New Zealand, Australia and Europe. Installers have saved time and materials by using RAUPIANO PLUS for their projects.

RAUPIANO PLUS 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.

RAUPIANO PLUS is an acoustically rated polypropylene drainage system approved for both residential projects and trade waste*. The rubber ring seals provide a faster installation when compared with PVC or HDPE allowing for less time for trades on site. 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.
