Specification
The acoustic floor shall be:
Isocheck RENOVO system, manufactured by Isomass Ltd. St Johns Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS and installed in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions / recommendations.
Installation
Apply Isocheck Acoustic Angled Flanking Band on the edges of the Isocheck boards just before they are pushed against the perimeter walls to isolate the board from the wall.
Lay Isocheck RENOVO over a structural timber sub-floor, in brick bond pattern, applying Isocheck adhesive to all tongued and grooved panel joints.
Install skirting and trim off excess Flanking Band.
Full installation instructions for RENOVO are available to download by clicking on the link to the left of this page. Installation instructions must be used in conjunction with this information and/our information contained in the datasheet when laying the RENOVO floating floor system.
Isocheck RENOVO System : offering maximum environmental credentials whilst minimising structural change
Architects and builders alike are continually looking for suppliers that can innovate towards helping them to prove their green credentials without compromising on quality and performance.
Isomass Ltd is such a supplier with considerable practical knowledge in the field of building acoustics, underpinned by a mission to continually innovate.
With the increasing demand for building products to help safe guard the environment Isomass Ltd are pleased to offer a new acoustic overlay system that not only raises the bar with its environment credentials but delivers a performance that eclipses comparative systems when utilising a direct fixed ceiling such as existing lath & plaster.

Composition
Isocheck RENOVO’s resilient layer (ecopoli) contains 20% renewable vegetable based components compared tozero in traditionally manufactured petroleum-based foams, with the added benefit of using less fossil fuelcomponents in its manufacture. A completely new catalyst enables castor oil to be employed in the production oflow-emission polyols. With castor oil accounting for 30% of the polyol’s totalweight it can contribute to yet another renewable recipe tohelp our environment.
Performance benefits (ideal for listed buildings)
Isocheck RENOVO has been tested by the NHBC for use in conversion applications and comfortably meets the required performance standards as specified in Approved Document E 2003 without a proprietary resilient bar or MF suspended ceiling system. So now (in cases where the floor void is 200mm or above) it is not necessary to remove a direct fixed ceiling and the existing floor may be rebuilt as a working platform before Isocheck RENOVO is incorporated over the floorboards or chipboard. Making the Isocheck RENOVO system one of the last operations thus avoiding costly protection necessary on alternative direct to joist systems.
Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses. The seeds contain between 20% and 90% oil that is rich in triglycerides, mainly ricinolein. Native to Africa, Asia and now naturalised throughout Australia, it is often abundant along watercourses and floodplains.
