Robust Detail E-FC-10
Robust Detail E-FC-10 is a fixed, resilient surface layer acoustic insulation system for solid insitu floors making it perfect for sound proofing & noise reduction applications. The system consists of 3mm thick Isorubber Top or Isorubber FR< adhered to the screeded or power floated surface of a solid insitu floor using Isobond Adhesive and an MF Ceiling below. E-FC-10 provides 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credits upon registration.
System Summary
Robust Detail E-FC-10 is an acoustic solution for insitu concrete floors. This system provides a minimum 5dB improvement the requirements of Approved Document Part E. When registered with Robust Details Ltd the requirement for on-site sound testing is removed and 3 Code for Sustainable Homes / BREEAM / Home Quality Mark credits are automatically awarded.
Components & Specifications
Acoustic Performance
As a Robust Detail that provides 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credits the E-FC-10 system must always achieve site test values of:
Airborne Sound – not less than 50db (Dntw + Ctr)
Impact Sound – not greater than 57db(Lntw)
This exceeds the Building Regulation (Approved Document Part E) requirements by 5dB in both cases.
Isorubber Top
Density 600kg/m³
Roll Size 3mm x 1m x 20m
Roll Weight 42Kg (11 Rolls per pallet)
Isorubber Top is a 3mm thick acoustic insulation that is adhered to a floor surface, absorbing impact sound and vibration at source. A durable acoustic underlay with a density of approximately 600Kg/m3, Isorubber Top has excellent impact energy absorption properties.
Isorubber FR
Board Size 3mm x 1m x 20m
Board Weight Approx. 42Kg – 3mm variant (11 Rolls per pallet)
Density 610kg/m³
Isorubber FR is an acoustic insulation available in a standard 3mm thickness with others sizes available to order, but only the 3mm version falls under the Robust Detail scheme.
It is adhered to a floor surface, absorbing impact sound and vibration at source. It is an incredibly durable acoustic underlay with added fire retardant.

About System
The E-FC-10 system was the first floor system to be awarded 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credit status. It is designed to be easy to install, helping to reduce the risk of workmanship errors. Isorubber Top / Isorubber FR provides a compatible base for almost all types of floor covering including carpets, vinyl, stone, ceramics, solid wood and laminates. It also provides substantial cost savings over more traditional floating floor systems.
The E-FC-10 system requires a minimum 175mm in-situ slab with a minimum density of 2400Kg/m3. It can be used with masonry (1350 – 1600Kg/m3 & 1850 – 2300Kg/m3) or framed external flanking wall constructions. A metal frame ceiling with a minimum void of 150mm under drawn with a layer of gypsum based board (minimum 10Kg/m2) is also required.
During the extensive site testing carried out for Robust Detail classification all 30 of the impact and airborne tests had to achieve a minimum 5dB improvement over regulation requirements to gain this status. Due to this excellent performance record any site that registers the E-FC-10 system with Robust Details is automatically awarded 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credits.
The E-FC-10 system can also be, and is frequently, used in non Robust Detail specifications, subject to pre-completion testing.
