Isosonic Timber Conversions

The Isosonic Timber Conversion Systems provide a range of solutions to meet the current Approved Document Part E refurbishment requirements.

System Summary

We offer two standard options to bring existing timber floors up to Part E refurbishment standards,they incorporate Isorubber Base or Platform Floor resilient overlays.There is also a high-performance Isorubber Base option where improved performance is required.All options utilise a resilient bar ceiling treatment to the ceiling below and are suitable for use in general soundproofing and noise reduction applications.

Isorubber Base is a 6mm thick acoustic insulation that is laid over the structural timber deck, separating it from a timber overlay of your choice and absorbing impact sound. The Isorubber Base is turned up at the perimeter to isolate the timber overlay from the walls reducing flanking sound transmission. A durable product with a density of approximately 635Kg/m3, Isorubber Base does not suffer from any deterioration of acoustic performance during the normal lifespan of a building. This is because it undergoes virtually no short term deformation or long term creep deformation under normal domestic loads.

With a recycled content of approximately 90% waste rubber, a Global Warming Potential of Zero and an Ozone Depletion Potential of Zero Isorubber Base provides a means of using problematic waste material to the benefit of the environment. Platform Floor is a 25mm thick acoustic floating floor comprised of 18mm P5 chipboard bonded to a 7mm thick acoustic layer. The chipboard layer has T & G joints that are bonded with Floorbond adhesive. The P5 chipboard used in the production of Platform Floor is sourced from sustainable supplies. Platform Floor has a Global Warming Potential of Zero and an Ozone Depletion Potential of Zero.

Floorbond Adhesive is a low viscosity water resistant wood adhesive used to bond the T&G joints of Platform Floor. It is fast setting, will not discolour overlays and has good heat resistance.

About System

The Isosonic Timber Conversion systems provide three options for achieving Approved Document Part E compliance in refurbishment applications. The systems have outstanding performance, are incredibly versatile and are specifically designed for the refurbishment market.<

Two floating floor surface treatment options can be used in these Isosonic Timber Conversion Systems.

Option 1

6mm Isorubber Base fitted below a floating timber floor surface of 18mm flooring grade chipboard (or any wooden flooring with a similar mass).

Option 2

25mm Platform Floor. All systems require 100mm thick low density mineral wool between the joists and a separated ceiling, consisting of resilient bars fixed to the joists, under drawn with a layer of 15mm plasterboard and either a layer of 19mm plasterboard plank or 15mm Soundbloc board.

The laboratory testing carried out on these constructions shows that they can achieve results well in excess of building regulation requirements for refurbishments.
