Redefining silent spaces: Construction sector slowly adapts ‘noise-free’ solution

CEBU, Philippines — The Rehau Raupiano acoustic drainage system, in collaboration with Othmann, Inc., has introduced an innovative solution poised as a “game-changer” in the construction industry in the Philippines.

Together, these two powerhouses aim to set a new standard for peace and comfort in modern homes and hotels by redefining “silent spaces.”

“Peace and silence are luxuries we might not see but always value. With the Rehau Raupiano Acoustic Drainage System, we turn any space into a haven of peace and comfort,” said Allan Rafanan, Sales Supervisor at Othmann.

Rehau Raupiano, developed by Rehau Germany, is an advanced solution in acoustic engineering. Featuring multilayer, mineral-reinforced polypropylene (PP) pipes, and patented sound-dampening brackets, the system operates at an impressively low noise level of just 17 dB—quieter than a whisper.

According to Rafanan, this innovation eliminates disruptive drainage noise, ensuring uninterrupted sleep, relaxation, and daily activities.

The partnership between Rehau Raupiano and Othmann, Inc. addresses the growing demand for noise-free environments in the Philippine market. Designed for projects that prioritize guest comfort and resident well-being, the silent drainage system is the ideal choice for high-end developments and discerning homeowners seeking to enhance their quality of life.

The introduction of game-changing products in the Philippine construction industry reflects stakeholders' willingness to invest in advanced technologies to meet growing market demand.

In a separate interview, Cebu Contractors Association (CCA) president Kevin Sean Lim noted that the construction industry is increasingly adopting the latest technologies.

Rehau Germany has been at the forefront of thermoplastic innovation since 1948, becoming a global leader in high-performance solutions. In the Philippines, Othmann and Ottilie have proudly represented Rehau since 1994, delivering world-class products to the local market.

With over three decades of experience, Othmann, Inc. is a trusted name in the Philippine piping industry. Known for introducing advanced solutions such as PPR, CPVC, and HDPE piping systems, the company ensures reliable installations through comprehensive technical support for project teams and installers.

This partnership between Rehau Raupiano and Othmann, Inc. is set to redefine industry standards, opening new possibilities for Philippine builders and property developers. — (FREEMAN)
