Not really a prefab. It is LGSF + foam concrete, pretty common outside North America



I wonder what the sound insulation looks like. Particularly in the context of student residences.


Foam concrete used for insulation is at around 200-300 kg per cube. Should be enough.

Right now, I'm renting in a high rise with precast foam concrete insulation blocks in between apartment walls. Never been troubled by that.


Apparently the chinese company is called PTH.
