This is a recently developed product and we would like to make you aware of it’s outstanding benefits when compared to other single deck acoustic floor systems:<\/p>\n

PROBLEM foam backed boards are approximately 33% lighter<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a>Please consider This<\/strong> Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n The acoustic testing undertaken in the development of the Isosonic Dekfloor 30 system confirms that a similar floor mass is required to achieve a “safe” performance consistent with the Approved Doc.\u00a0 Part E airborne sound requirements.<\/p>\n SOLUTION ISOSONIC DEKFLOOR 30<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a>ISOSONIC DEKFLOOR 30 utilises an ISORUBBER resilient layer with a density of 910Kg\/m3 giving a combined board weight of 22.5Kg\/m2; just 8% lighter than the traditional floating floor. In addition the ISOSONIC CEILING CLEAT decoupling further enhances the airborne for help choosing the right product for your project please contact Thermal economics Technical department on 01582 544255 for all our acoustic & Thermal insulation products visit: www.thermal-economics.co.uk<\/p>\n <\/a>Why choose Dekfloor 30<\/strong><\/p>\n The development of this product has re-enforced our belief that floors of this nature require a minimum mass in order to meet the ADE airborne sound insulation requirements when used with standard ceiling and flanking treatments<\/p>\n Long Term Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n It is also worth considering the performance of these products under load. A 35Kg\/m3 PE\/PUR foam contains approximately 97% air\/gas by volume. When subjected to a normal domestic floor design load of 200kg\/m2 the foam will compress by up to 30%. In the long term it undergoes further compression as the gas diffuses. This reduces its resilience and impact sound insulation properties. The acoustic testing of the unloaded floor is\u00a0 therefore not a true measure of its acoustic performance. ISORUBBER undergoes no discernible elastic or creep compression under normal domestic loadstherefore: <\/a><\/p>\n Benefits of Isosonic Dekfloor 30 over Pe & Pur foam backed boards<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
\nTimber floors are known to be problematic in resisting airborne sound transmission due to their lack of mass
\nProven Traditional solutions<\/strong>
\nThe traditional acoustic timber floor consists of a floating floor overlaying the structural deck. A typical construction consists of two 18 or 22mm wooden decks with a resilient layer between, giving a total mass of approx. 24.5Kg\/m2.<\/p>\n
