Isorubber Top is a 3mm thick acoustic insulation layer applied directly to the floor surface to effectively absorb impact sound and vibration at their source. This robust acoustic underlay has a density of approximately 600kg/m3 and provides outstanding impact energy absorption.
Compatible with most types of soft and hard floor coverings, Isorubber Top has been tested by SATRA and CERAM for use with vinyl and ceramic tiles, respectively. While it is not intended to be left exposed permanently, Isorubber Top can be used as a temporary 'selling surface' and has been wear-tested by the British Carpet Technical Centre.
Made from a combination of sustainably sourced granulated cork and recycled rubber, Isorubber Top has a Global Warming Potential and Ozone Depletion Potential of zero, making it an environmentally friendly solution. It turns otherwise problematic waste materials into a useful product, contributing positively to the environment.
Isorubber Top serves as an acoustic isolation and vibration reduction mat, providing a resilient fixed layer for floor construction. It is primarily used in concrete floor systems to comply with Approved Document Part E but can also be applied in general soundproofing scenarios. It is a key acoustic component in the Robust Detail E-FC-9 and E-FC-10 constructions.
Robust Detail E-FC-9
The Robust Detail E-FC-9 is a fixed resilient surface layer insulation system for precast plank floors. It consists of 3mm Isorubber Top adhered to the screeded surface of a precast plank floor using Isobond Adhesive, with an MF Ceiling below. This construction is eligible for pre-completion testing to earn BREEAM credits.
Robust Detail E-FC-10
The Robust Detail E-FC-10 is a similar fixed resilient surface layer system for solid in-situ floors. It involves adhering 3mm Isorubber Top to the screeded or power-floated surface of a solid in-situ floor with Isobond Adhesive, and an MF Ceiling below. E-FC-10 offers 3 Code for Sustainable Homes Credits upon registration and is applicable for BREEAM multi-residential credits, with pre-completion testing required for other BREEAM categories.
Isosonic Topfloor System
The Isosonic Topfloor system is a fixed resilient surface layer and ceiling treatment designed for use on precast plank, in-situ concrete, steel composite, and beam & block floors, ideal for both new builds and refurbishments. This system incorporates 3mm Isorubber Top adhered to the floor surface with Isobond Adhesive and a metal frame or Isosonic ceiling treatment below. These constructions can also be pre-completion tested to achieve BREEAM credits.
