Dutch term or phrase: zwaluwstaartplaten
I am currently translating a short TNO report on airborne and impact sound insulation ('Divisie Geluid & Trillingen' of 'Lewisvloeren'

The context is as follows:

Lucht- en contactgeluidisolatie bij diverse variaties met Lewisvloeren — opzet van een prognosematrix.

Vloeren met Lewis zwaluwstaartplaten kunnen in een grote variatie worden toegepast op houten balkvloeren. Van diverse variaties zijn meetresultaten van de lucht- en contactgeluidisolatie in het laboratorium en de praktijk beschikbaar, maar van veel variatiemogelijkheden ook nog niet

Any suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded asap.

Thanks,

Pikey
