Fermacell flooring is dry, fast and easy to use in new build and refurbishment.
The Fermacell flooring system is designed for use as floating floors. It produces a continuous floating membrane capable of insulation and ready to use within 24 hrs and is ready to accept a wide variety of floor finishes, from vinyls to laminate and tile to parquet.
For Sound Proof Floors
Fermacell 2E31 and 2E32 flooring overlays, used either on their own or in conjunction with the acoustic honeycomb system can be used to upgrade substandard floor systems to comply with the latest Building Regulations. They can also be used as a dedicated part of a floor construction to provide Part E, RD, BB93 and HTM2045 compliant constructions. Please see www.acousticregs.info for further information of recommended constructions.
Fermacell UFH overlay 2E22 combines the heat transfer benefits of a wet screed system with the speed of installation and flexibility of wooden board systems such as chipboard. Because Fermacell has a much lower thermal mass than concrete, the response time of the heating system is much quicker, and when you turn the heating down (or off) there is no delay. Unlike chipboard, Fermacell is not an insulator, and so can make UFH systems more efficient (the pipe temperature can be up to 5 degrees lower, saving energy and money). The system can be used with warm water UFH systems that use tracked insulation (i.e. the board is fully supported across the whole floor area).
For Warm Floors
Fermacell thermal flooring systems 2E13 and 2E14 are pre-laminated with thermal insulation and may be laid over an existing flat structural floor - for example over an oversite slab or conservatory floor - to provide enhanced levels of thermal insulation.
Being a dry screed system, they provide a fast and easy to fit alternative to wet concrete.
Higher levels of thermal insulation can be provided by laying these systems over proprietary flooring grade thermal insulation boards.
For Levelling Uneven Floors
Fermacell dry levelling compound is poured and levelled over the uneven floor and Fermacell 2E11 20mm flooring overlay is then laid over the compound to provide a stable floor over which most floor finished can be installed.
The compound can accommodate height differences of 10 - 60mm (above this course infill should be used).
Where gaps or cracks in the structural floor occur (for example knotholes in timber floors), trickling protection such as BSK building paper should be laid first.
