Timber suspended Part E system for separating floors using our Acousticel R10 to decouple the timber floating floor.
testimonial
" I am exceptionally pleased with the R10 system. I have been using the R10 system for many years in all my flat conversion projects because it always gives far better results when tested and I have never had a test failure. Acousticel R10 has been a reliable and and effective system for us over the years. We highley recommend it as an isolated flooring system." E. Harris Building & Contracting
description.
The Acousticel R10 product has been specified in the UK for nearly 20 years. It provides a true independant timber floating floor for use on timber suspended floors to reduce impact noise and comply with Part E requirements when used as part of a soundproofing system for separating floors..

The components in more detail.
Acoustic Mineral Wool
The density of Acoustic Mineral Wool is more than twice that of normal loft insulation and so is very efficient at absorbing noise. Acoustic Mineral Wool (AMW) is used extensively in buildings and throughout industry to give acoustic, thermal and fire insulation. It is particularly useful as a sound absorbing infill for the reduction of airborne sound between flooring joists. If you require a more superior product we would advise looking at our Acoustic Quilt. For additional information on our Acoustic Mineral Wool please see here
Acoustic Sealant
Our white Acoustic Sealant is a one-part Fire Retardant Water-based
Acrylic Sealant. It exhibits good adhesion to a wide variety of common
building substrates without the need for a primer. Paintable with
emulsion paints three hours after application. Allow 12 hours before
over painting with gloss paints.
When subject to flame our sealant will intumesce (expand and char),
thus blocking the passage of fire and smoke. Additional information on
Acoustic Sealant can be seen here
Soundproofing Mat - OPTIONAL
Our Soundproofing Mat or SBM5 as it is more commonly known, is a heavy layer mineral loaded soundproofing mat nominally 2mm thick with excellent sound insulating qualities which will give significant sound loss improvements to lightweight structures when used as a sound barrier. It is equal to lead of the same mass in effectiveness and acts as a thin de-coupling sound barrier in stud walls and timber floors. Whilst this product is optional in the system, you will find it will increase the airborne reduction and if you are not planning on lifting the original floorboards it will help seal the floor.

R10
A recycled rubber sound proofing for floors engineered to reduce
impact noise through a timber separated floor and specifically designed
to help bring a timber suspended floor into
Independently tested, this acoustic insulation is the popular choice
for all flat conversions and complies with the latest Building
Regulation requirements.
This unique resilient mat is also ideal for soundproofing a floor in
existing flats, homes and a wide variety of other domestic uses and
should be used to create an independent floating floor to reduce impact
and airborne noise nuisance. Additional information on R-10 can be seen
here
Quietboard
QuietBoard is a revolutionary, waterproof, cement impregnated
high-density acoustic floor panel designed to improve the airborne
noise transfer through separating floors.
Cement impregnated chipboard is now specified in the Approved Document
E as the best material for this application. It is quick to install and
is easily cut to size. QuietBoard Acoustic Flooring is constructed from
two well-established building materials - wood particles and cement.
As well as being made from 75 % recycled material, QuietBoard is a very dense product, light grey in colour and both faces have a hard smooth flat surface. They are non-toxic, contain no flammable materials and generate no toxic fumes during combustion. Additional information on Quietboard can be seen here
