The E-FC-14 system was the first under screed system to gain 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credits status. Its consistent high performance and compatibility with all masonry flanking external wall types, including aircrete blocks (450- 800Kg/m3) make it the obvious pre-cast plank system to choose when looking for 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credits.
The E-FC-14 system consists of 6mm Isorubber Base fitted below a minimum 65mm sand & cement screed with Isoedge 6/260 separating the screed from the wall. The structural floor must be a minimum 150mm precast plank with a minimum mass of 300Kg/m2 per unit area. This system can be used with all masonry external flanking wall constructions (450 – 800Kg/m3, 1350 – 1600Kg/m3 & 1850 – 2300Kg/m3). A metal frame ceiling supported by Isosonic Cleats with a minimum void of 150mm or an Isosonic Ceiling is also required. Both ceiling details are under drawn with a layer of gypsum based board (minimum 10Kg/m2) and have a minimum of 50mm mineral wool in the ceiling void.

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-14 system with Robust Details is automatically awarded 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credits.
As part of the E-FC-14 registration Thermal Economics provide site training to Site Managers and Screeders by experienced industry professionals who will instruct on installation procedures and answer any questions regarding your specific project.
The E-FC-14 system can also be, and is frequently, used in non Robust Detail specifications, subject to pre-completion testing.
