The requirements for Part E Building Regulations Resistance to
Passage of Sound means that sound proofing a new build project
conversion or refurbishment requires radical solutions to the issue of
unwanted noise transmission.
For the first time pre-completion testing (at the Building
Inspectors discretion) is being enforced to ensure that buildings meet
the Part E Standards. Solutions are offered in the form of the Isosonic
product range.
Combinations of the ISORUBBER resilient layer, ISOSONIC CEILING
HANGERS and ISOEDGE flanking strip can be applied to most of the
commonly employed timber and concrete floors.
Its benefits are:
-Staying within the size, weight and cost boundaries of normal previously employed floor constructions.
-Using simple to install and robust components to eliminate potential errors as much as possible.
-Achieving tested sound insulation performance levels well in
excess of the requirements provides an adequate safety margin against
the vagaries of workmanship and site supervision.
The main Isosonic floor systems are:
Isosonic Timber Floor
- for use with solid timber joists or I-beams suitable for the
REFURBISHMENT and TIMBERFRAME industry. The Isosonic Base or top
resilient layer forms a direct base for the decorative wood floor or
ceramic tile finish. A double plasterboard (30mm) ceiling is fixed to
the joists by means of the Isosonic Ceiling Hanger.
Isosonic Top Floor
- for use with all forms of concrete floors with a weight in excess of
365kg/m (eg 155 solid). The Isorubber Top fixed resilient surface layer
is suitable for allforms of hard and soft floor coverings. A ceiling
consisting of minimum 12.5mm plasterboard fitted to the floor by means
of Isosonic Ceiling Hangers or MF grid.
Isosonic Base Floor Candidate RSD systems
-for use with screeded pre-cast plank (150mm plus) floors. The
Isorubber Base under-screed resilient layer provided the traditional
screeded finish.
The ceiling is again a minimum 12.5mm plasterboard fitted by means of Isosonic ceiling hangers or MF grid.
All the above systems have undergone numerous independent tests.
