Appointed as the main flooring product throughout the
development, ElecoFloor® panels provide the necessary
sound insulation for separating floors, without the need to
source all the required layers for a built up system.
A Major benefit of the system is a reduction in thickness
above the joist being of 50% or more. The medium weight
overlay board, designed for timber joisted floors, is an
acoustic flooring system comprising of moisture resistant
chipboard and MDF composite bonded boards, with a
resilient central layer and a durable polyester felt backing.
This construction reduces the passage of both impact and
airborne noise.
The speed of installation and acoustic properties of our
ElecoFloor® was chosen in the construction of the West
Park Development, Manchester.
Renaker Build, with expertise in construction projects of
varying complexity and value, specified and installed
ElecoFloor® at the £12M residential project. The West Park
development consists of the build of two apartment blocks
each containing 85 individual units.
meeting Part E
The
projectStramit Panel Products, a trusted partner in leading
partition systems in the United Kingdom, has been
established for over 60 years. Stramit understands
the importance of a quick installation process and
has utilised its expertise in manufacturing laminated
and pre-decorated partitioning panels to develop
the ElecoFloor® system.
With its fast installation time, Elecofloor® can be
fitted in up to half the time it takes to install a batten
system. Once in place, the panels take up a third of
the overall thickness, delivering material savings on
brick courses, whilst additionally significantly
reducing the overall height of the building.
Renaker, chose ElecoFloor® for the contract and
provided a clear schedule for the quick turnaround
required. Phased over a 24-month period to meet the
client’s sales requirements, Stramit guaranteed the
delivery of the ElecoFloor® system could meet the strict
schedule Renaker needed to work within.
A spokesperson from Renaker Build commented, “Due
to a positive working relationship with Stramit, we have
successfully installed ElecoFloor® on several projects
over the past few years, including West Park and Delta
Point in Manchester. We continue to experience a first
class service and I feel extremely confident in the
knowledge that ElecoFloor® will always arrive onsite,
on time and of the highest quality.”
“With essential acoustic properties and simplicity of
installation, ElecoFloor® provides a competitively
priced system with a cost effective and time saving
product to install.”
Whilst Robust Details, the approval Scheme for sepa-
rating walls and floors in new build joined homes in
England and Wales is a popular choice for many,
Renaker has chosen the Stramit ElecoFloor® system
which provides important data in order to help demon-
strate what acoustic performance is being achieved.
Furthermore, the composite floor system, which
successfully meets Part E of Building Regulations,
protects residential properties from the noise of activi-
ties in other rooms or adjoining properties. ElecoFloor®,
designed for use in both new build and conversions, is
suitable for use throughout a building, including bath-
rooms and kitchens. ElecoFloor® is also widely used in
the conversion and refurbishment sector, where pre-
determined ceiling and door heights can be restrictive.
Only 36mm 'thin' means up to a third the thickness of a built up or batten system
Perfect for conversion projects where existing ceiling and doorframe heights are restrictive
Suitable for use throughout the building, including bathrooms and kitchens
Minimal accessories required, just joint adhesive and perimeter isolation strip
Short lead time delivery available direct from factory
