Consisting of a rubber crumb base panel containing moulded recesses, Regupol Keraflex FB delivers impact sound insulation of up to 23dB.
A lightweight system, Regupol Keraflex FB is straightforward to install as tiles can either be free-fitting or adhered into the recesses if preferred.

CMS Vertiface acoustic wall coverings
CMS Acoustics extends its range of acoustic wall covering solutions to include the Vertiface product range.
Although the project was built to Robust Detail specification, Oakmere Estates sought additional acoustic treatments for noise sensitive areas to ensure the luxury development was fit for purpose.
Malcolm Pedder, director of Oakmere Estates, explains: "As we were building high-end apartments, minimum Part E standards would not have been enough to ensure optimum quality of living.
As such, we identified areas to enhance acoustic performance, which included the balcony.
"Regupol Keraflex FB presented a practical solution, as it not only possesses excellent acoustic properties, but it also embodies the aesthetic qualities that are important for any luxury patio surface".
Highly durable, Regupol Keraflex FB retains its performance for a long life span.
The system is also easy to maintain as its porous 3D structure allows for complete water drainage to prevent puddle, mould and frost formation.
Paul Absolon, technical director of CMS Acoustic Solutions, comments: "We supply a wide range of innovative acoustic products, which means we can deliver appropriate and cost-effective materials for areas which may not be accounted for by standard Part E requirements".
Regupol Keraflex FB is suitable for all types of construction and can be laid on terraces, balconies and roof gardens.
The system is available with a choice of up to six different coloured ceramic tiles with a thickness of 15mm.
For the Haywards Heath development, Oakmere Estates selected a 'chalk' tile finish.
All components within the Regupol Keraflex FB system are supplied together in a single delivery.
