Acoustic floor system: direct to floorboards with retained ceilings below
Isocheck RENOVO acoustic flooring system is designed to reduce impact sound transmission through traditional joisted timber floors where there is little or no access available to enhance the ceiling below for both sound insulation and additional fire protection.
Architects and builders alike are continually looking for suppliers that can innovate towards helping them to prove their green credentials without compromising on quality and performance.
Isomass Ltd is such a supplier with considerable practical knowledge in the field of building acoustics, underpinned by a mission to continually innovate.
With the increasing demand for building products to help safe guard the environment Isomass Ltd are pleased to offer a new acoustic overlay system that not only raises the bar with its environment credentials but delivers a performance that eclipses comparative systems when utilising a direct fixed ceiling such as existing lath & plaster.
Isocheck RENOVO's resilient layer (ecopoli) contains 20% renewable vegetable based components compared to zero in traditionally manufactured petroleum-based foams, with the added benefit of using less fossil fuel components in its manufacture. A completely new catalyst enables castor oil to be employed in the production of low-emission polyols. With castor oil accounting for 30% of the polyol's total weight it can contribute to yet another renewable recipe to help our environment.
Isocheck RENOVO has been tested by the NHBC for use in conversion applications and comfortably meets the required performance standards as specified in Approved Document E 2003 without a proprietary resilient bar or MF suspended ceiling system. So now (in cases where the floor void is 200mm or above) it is not necessary to remove a direct fixed ceiling and the existing floor may be rebuilt as a working platform before Isocheck RENOVO is incorporated over the floorboards or chipboard. Making the Isocheck RENOVO system one of the last operations thus avoiding costly protection necessary on alternative direct to joist systems.
Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses. The seeds contain between 20% and 90% oil that is rich in triglycerides, mainly ricinolein. Native to Africa, Asia and now naturalised throughout Australia, it is often abundant along watercourses and floodplains.
To be used directly on timber floor boards for conversions and refurbishments in conjunction with direct fix ceilings (commonly found in listed buildings or projects where access to the ceiling is not easily accessible) as illustrated or approved by Isomass (on application to technical@isomass.co.uk for our free acoustic detail design service).
Suitable for: Change of Use E1, Domestic Applications, Conversions, Refurbishments, Listed Buildings, and Historic Buildings.
