FLOORINGS & CEILINGS www.fermacell.co.uk INTRODUCTION MARKET SECTORS Timber Frame PERFORMANCE RATINGS FERMACELL PERFORMANCE Impact sound insulation - Fermaceli flooring systems offer a variety of cost effective, simple to install solutions for improving the acoustic insulation of solid masonry floors and timber floor constructions. Airborne sound insulation - The use of Fermaceli with resilient or suspended ceiling systems to the underside of the joists will greatly enhance the airborne acoustic Fire protection - Using the floor elements along with our ceiling systems provide superior fire protection from above and below Fermaceli dry flooring systems allows a dry screed to be laid on uneven floors and heating systems, eliminating drying times and reducing installation time and cost. Environmental - Fermaceli Boards recycled content and are recyclable, decreasing the carbon footprint and increasing the BREEAM rating Using Fermaceli Flooring and Ceiling systems provide simple solutions to acoustic and fire The flooring systems offer a dry screed system solution which provides impact acoustic performance for refurbishment as well as new build and timber frame. The range of systems we produce not only increase sound insulation but also give a dry screed solution to overlay underfloor heating and levelling solutions Fermacell's ceiling systems provide superior acoustic and fire performance to timber and concrete ceilings by using either a resilient bar or a suspended ceiling system, decreasing the airborne acoustic

FLOORINGS & CEILINGS INTRODUCTION www.fermacell.co.uk provide innovative Underfloor heating A luxury Swanage apartment development by Swan Country Homes is benefiting from a unique solution utilising the Jupiter Ideal ECO underfloor heating system in conjunction with Fermaceli Flooring Elements over suspended timber floors. Fermaceli 2E22 25 mm thick Flooring Elements, combined with Jupiter recycled wood fibre heating elements, has created a low-height underfloor heating solution that substantially outperformed the acoustic requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations for separating...

FLOORINGS & CEILINGS www.fermacell.co.uk INTRODUCTION Pre-completion testing produced acoustic performances which comfortably exceeded Part E requirements. The minimum airborne sound result was 11 dB over the requirement, whilst the minimum impact sound result surpassed the Chris Smith, Managing Director of Jupiter Underfloor Heating, commented: "On the face of it our quote appeared to be more expensive than that of the competitors. However, our proposal required only 55 mm depth compared to the minimum 100 to 145 mm depth needed for the Robust Detail construction. By saving a brick course...
