The sound proofing system has become recently remarkably popular around a number of homeowners, who appreciate peace and quiet in area in which they live. The system is designed to help you and people who live around you to limit the noises, voices or music sounds and quieten any other sounds that may appear disturbing.
Treewood uses approved sound proofing products and follows Building Regulations that came to life in 2003 (Document E, which states that 64 decibels is the maximum limit of sound impact for flats).
Of all our products we recommend Accorub R, which provides high value in relation to its price, reducing sound up to 42 or 43 decibels. Others such as Technics 5 or Acoustilay 15 are also very popular, however the choice of most appropriate system may depend on the actual construction of the floor and the wood type.
Treewood provides access to under-floor heating systems, suggesting best solutions for such floors and their fitting. This is because there are various under floor heating systems for example water based or electrical ones, which can have direct impact on wooden floors. This impact is caused by ability of wood to expand or contract due to loss of moisture in the presence of higher than normal temperature.
Treewood is aware of certain demands regarding humidity levels of the environment where installation is carried out; 40% – 60%, while heating temperature should not exceed 25 degree. Those demands are vital due to risk of shrinkage and cracking of the wood. Therefore it is important for you to know that the heating temperature should be increased slowly and never reach above 25 degree.
Damp can cause irreparable changes to wooden floors making them expanding or rotting constantly. Damp proof membrane provides a flexible and resilient blockade to penetrating damp on floors and can be valuable thing to consider when fitting a new wooden floor. Treewood recommends it as an ideal protector from any damage that can be caused to your floor by a dampness – a common problem in many properties.
Treewood recommends number of damp proof membrane types (bonded membranes or sheet membranes). There are several factors associated with selection of certain types of damp proofing membranes to which Treewood pays solemn attention; existing floor construction, moisture content, surrounding construction.
Treewood uses speciality machines to undergo safely the processes of sanding or renovating ensuring that every type of wooden floor is excellently recovered.
