TVS AcoustiCORK U31
TVS AcoustiCORK U31 is a high performance, 8mm resilient under screed material for use in floor constructions wanting better than building regulations acoustic performance. When used under a 70mm screed it will give a Delta Lw improvement of 27 dB.
TVS INSu Acoustic Panel
TVS INSu Panel Upgrades existing walls to reduce sound transmission. It can be applied to lightweight wall structures or existing plasterboard. It meets Part E of the Building Regulations.
TVS RESi Acoustic Batten Deep
RESi Acoustic Batten Deep is a resilient composite batten floor system for use with Robust Standard Detail floor construction types E-FC-1, E-FC-2 and steel floors.
TVS RESi Acoustic Batten Shallow
TVS RESi Acoustic Batten Shallow is a resilient composite batten floor system for use with Robust Standard Detail floor construction types E-FC-1, E-FC-2 and steel floors.
TVS RESi Acoustic Cradle
TVS RESi Acoustic Cradle System is a resilient cradle and batten floor for use with Robust Standard Detail floor types E-FC-1, E-FC-2, E-FC-7 and steel floor E-FS-1.
TVS RESi Deck
TVS RESi Deck is a resilient overlay shallow platform floor system (Type FFT5) for use with Robust Standard Detail floor construction types E-FC-1, E-FC-2 and steel door E-FS-1.
TVS RESi Deck Extra Acoustic Floor
TVS RESi Deck Extra Direct to Joist is just 30mm thick and can be applied directly to joists. It complies with Part E of the Building Regulations for both impact and airborne noise.
TVS RESi Lay Triple Acoustic Flooring
TVS RESi Lay Triple For timber offers a cost effective and easily installed solution to combat airborne and impact sound insulation.
TVS RESi Acoustic Isolating Strip
TVS RESi Isolating Strips are used for preventing sound transfer, by isolating partitioning or party walls in all forms of construction, where there is any point of contact.
IsoRubber Base - Robust Detail Approved E-FC-4
A unique, Robust Detail approved system, for use on 150mm or greater pre-cast concrete plank floors. IsoRubber Base provides an economic, traditional floating screed system, utilising ’MF’ type ceilings with standard 12.5mm plasterboard.The product is extremely tough, puncture proof, and provides an effective barrier to sound transmission.
IsoRubber Top – Robust Detail Approved E-FC-9, E-FC-10
The IsoRubber Top provides perhaps the most cost effective solution for floors with screeds bonded to the concrete deck. Supplied in both 2 and 3mm, the product is adhered to the screed and provides a high quality surface, suitable as a direct underlay for most types of floor finish e.g. ceramic tiles, carpet, laminate, vinyl etc.
Kinetics RIM System - Concrete (RIM-C) & Timber (RIM-W) Floating Floor System
The RIM system is the industries leading method of construction of high performance floating acoustic floors commonly found in cinemas, bowling alleys, music rooms, recording studios and gymnasiums.

TVS PROVES A SOUND CHOICE FOR EDUCATION
September 2011

North-West-based Total Vibration Solutions (TVS) is completing work on two of the country's most prestigious education sector projects, highlighting the company’s emerging position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing acoustics specialists.

TVS was selected by main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine to design, install and commission 2,169m2 of concrete and steel reinforced acoustic jack-up floors over five levels of new a state-of-the-art contemporary building for the UK's largest music school ‒ Manchester's renowned Chetham's School of Music. Currently nearing completion, it is thought to be the largest acoustic jack-up floor project of its kind ever undertaken in the UK, involving the complete isolation of 58 individual music rooms and a 100-seat recital hall.

The acoustic floors, constructed of 110-mm deep steel-reinforced concrete, were subsequently jacked-up 50mm to allow acoustic separation between the finished room floor and the original building sub-slab. The recital hall also required the most stringent acoustic performance levels. It has a 150mm steel-reinforced concrete floor supported by 366 individual jack-up mounts to support the weight and high point loadings from steel columns supporting the roof beams, mezzanine floor and walls of this box-within-a-box structure.

In the Midlands, meanwhile, a multi-million-pound Performance Hub is nearing completion on the University of Wolverhampton’s Walsall campus integrating music, dance and drama facilities. Once again, TVS was selected, this time by main contractor, VINCI Construction, to provide 1,633m2 of acoustic floating floors for the drama rooms, music rehearsal facility, recording studios and black box theatre. The work involved equipping 23 rooms with a 160mm deep timber acoustic floor, one room with a 350mm deep acoustic floor and 5 further rooms with a 160mm deep acoustic concrete flooring system. TVS was selected not only because its floating floor system met the University's stringent acoustic specification but also, importantly in these budget-constrained times, because its tender offered the university significant cost savings.

Ceilings in the building were also supported on TVS acoustic hangers, specified by acoustic consultants ARUP, allowing British Gypsum’s MF ceiling system to be installed as normal but helping it to offer much greater acoustic isolation efficiency.

TVS Managing Director Paul Lafone, who has more than 20 years’ experience in engineering, noise and vibration suppression, says the prestige projects demanded cutting-edge solutions. “Both projects called for the latest acoustic design techniques and materials so we were delighted to have been chosen.”

His Haslingden-based company is currently overseeing a string of contracts ranging from the isolation of a transformer room in the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, to sound and vibration solutions for health clubs and hotels across the UK
