Its closed cell structure is designed to \"cushion\" these vibrations, and it's used beneath a screed, in conjunction with a suitable isolating perimeter strip, to provide acoustic separation between the screed and the structure below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSupplied at 1200mm x 50m and 10mm thick, each roll covers 60m² and weighs approximately 18kg, with a density of around 30kg\/m³. Tekfon 10 has been engineered to meet the requirements for a resilient layer below a screed in separating floors, and works with traditional sand and cement screeds as well as liquid (flow) screeds, across a variety of structural types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe closed cell construction is what does the work here: rather than compressing solid under load, it cushions structure-borne vibration, which is exactly what a resilient layer under a screed needs to do. It also carries a very good compression resistance under load, so it holds its acoustic performance once the screed and floor finish are sat on top of it, rather than degrading over time under normal foot traffic and furniture loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTekfon 10 can be applied over any suitably smooth substrate, though care should be taken to keep the surface free from sharp steps, ridges, sharp points or foreign objects such as stones, since these \"pinch points\" can dramatically reduce its acoustic benefit. It's essential that the resilient layer stays continuous, isolating the screed not just from the floor slab but from any hard part of the structure too, achieved either with a purpose-designed perimeter strip of equivalent material or by turning up Tekfon 10 itself at walls and columns. Where rolls join, lap the material by 75mm and tape it; where screed thickness doesn't allow a lap, a tight, taped butt joint with no gaps will do the job instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits of Tekfon 10 Acoustic Underscreed Foam:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtruded, closed cell polyethylene sheet material engineered specifically to isolate structure-borne vibration (sound) between solid building elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent acoustic performance combined with very good compression resistance under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied at 1200mm x 50m and 10mm thick, covering 60m² per roll at approximately 18kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered to comply with Building Regulation requirements for resilient layers in separating floors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with traditional sand and cement screeds and liquid (flow) screeds alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use with a variety of structural types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCFC and HCFC free.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight and easy to handle, cut and install; no protective clothing is necessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependently site-tested performance: real floor constructions have achieved weighted standardised impact sound pressure levels (L'nT,w) of 46dB, 42dB and 52dB, against a Building Regulations maximum of 62dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuity is everything:\u003c\/strong\u003e the resilient layer must isolate the screed from the floor slab and from any hard part of the structure, walls and columns included, either with a matching perimeter strip or by turning Tekfon 10 up at the edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLap and tape every join:\u003c\/strong\u003e overlap rolls by 75mm and tape them; where screed depth won't allow a lap, use a tight, taped butt joint with no gaps instead, to avoid creating an acoustic \"bridge.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate prep matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e apply over any suitably smooth surface, but clear sharp steps, ridges, points or stones first, as these pinch points can significantly reduce the acoustic benefit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both traditional and liquid (flow) screeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo protective clothing is necessary to handle Tekfon 10.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways check current Building Regulations and the project specification before installing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor a resilient layer that's been proven on real floors, not just on paper, Tekfon 10 gives you the acoustic performance to back up the spec, at a roll size built for getting the job done in fewer joins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tekfon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60641963966798,"sku":"BM005040","price":240.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0894\/1083\/0670\/files\/tekfon-tekfon-10-acoustic-underscreed-foam-1200mm-x-50m-60m2-floor-soundproofing-1256921132.png?v=1788434380","url":"https:\/\/www.insulationuk.co.uk\/products\/tekfon-10-acoustic-underscreed-foam-1200mm-x-50m-60m2","provider":"Insulation UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
