Regupol 7210C delivers high performance floors
CMS Acoustics, has helped Countryside Properties exceed minimum Part E requirements at its Sportcity development, by specifying Regupol 7210C as an underscreed acoustic solution.
The beam and block component of the detail is generic, allowing E48 to be used with all types of the floor construction.
Jamie Symons, BSW UK Limited managing director, comments: "Beam and block floors have shorter lead times than pre-cast, and are much less labour intensive".
"By delivering an RD approved system with Regupol E48, we're giving those developers who favour the RD route the option to use the floor construction they want, and the confidence that it will be Part E compliant".
Regupol E48 is compatible with all types of floor screed and is suitable for use in most new build constructions.
A simple fitting procedure ensures that the material is quick and easy to install.
Exceeding the requirements of Part E, Regupol E48 delivers impact sound insulation of 49dB (L'nT,w).
Dave Baker, chief executive of RDL, says; "This latest robust detail provides the house building industry with a new option for separating floor constructions, not previously covered by the RD scheme, and makes robust details an even more attractive proposition for developers across England and Wales".
"We expect the new system to prove to be particularly useful on small developments or tight sites".
"As such they may be of particular interest to small and medium sized builders." Where pre-completion testing is preferred to RD, CMS Acoustics can also provide Regupol 7210C, an under screed impact sound solution for hollow core beam and pre-cast applications.
Manufactured in Germany by BSW, the complete Regupol range is available exclusively in the UK through CMS Acoustics.
