FLOOR ISOLATION Isolation Solutions for a quieter world.

WHY CHOOSE TICO? TICO have been designing anti-vibration and structural isolation solutions for over 75 years. We are a proud British manufacturer using raw materials from around the world to create engineered, high-performance elastomer isolation solutions. With vast experience and an extensive range of elastomers at our disposal, TICO are able to design and manufacture solutions to suit all project types.

Good acoustics has never been more important. Mixed-use development is becoming more commonplace, combining places of work, fitness, entertainment and rest. Without suitable noise and vibration control, these contrasting uses have the potential to cause conflict. TICO has a long history of providing noise and vibration isolation solutions to suit exactly these types of adjacencies.

CONTENTS TABLE CONTENTS TICO have solutions for a large array of floor constructions, from lightweight and raised access flooring to high mass concrete based systems. These systems can be isolated with individual point loaded bearings or incorporate full area coverage of specialised high-performance matting in a variety of configurations. The table below shows how the different isolation strategies can be combined with different floor constructions for maximum benefit Floor Type Raised Access Flooring High Performance (Concrete) Isolation Type Point Loaded Bearings Whole Floor Coverage (Wave)...

TICO CV/CF/B These Anti-vibration pads are composed of a microcellular rubber sponge to absorb surface irregularities whilst designed specifically to provide enhanced absorption of vibration energy. TICO Gym Mat 100% recycled rubber moulded into dense sheeting designed to withstand the loads applied by free-standing or machine based weights, whilst providing a firm, yet comfortable footing. TICO Wave 92% recycled rubber moulded into a low profile continuous roll to provide enhanced vibration isolation and excellent acoustic performance.

TICO FLOOR - ACCESS TICO FLOOR - ACCESS View 3D Component Video Raised Access Flooring is commonly found in offices, hospitals and educational environments due to it’s fast and efficient installation and flexibility in design. However, impact sound transmission in Raised Access Floating Floor systems can be troublesome, resulting in direct transfer through the floor to rooms below, or flanking transmission into walls and adjacent parts of the building structure. The sources of impact can be numerous – examples being footfall impacts on the floor and sound sources from within the room such as...

TICO FLOOR HEAVY B TICO FLOOR - HEAVY B An isolated heavyweight concrete floor slab provides one of the best way to reduce structureborne noise and vibration in critical acoustic environments such as cinemas, gyms, bowling alleys and music studios. The high mass of concrete, combined with TICO bearings, provide excellent airborne and impact sound isolation performance. TICO bearings are designed to attenuate noise and vibration passing between the floating slab and the structural floor, and can provide natural frequencies as low as 6 Hz. Tailored Design To Meet Project Performance Requirements...

These results were achieved using TICO CV/CF/B isolators at 600 and 650 mm centres with a 50 mm air gap (under deflection). Bearing dimensions and spacings can be varied as required to achieve the desired loadings and natural frequencies. Full laboratory reports are available upon request.

TICO FLOOR HEAVY W TICO FLOOR - HEAVY W Utilising our TICO Wave flooring isolation material to provide a low-profile solution to floating screed and concrete slab floor isolation, this continuous roll out material allows for simple installation which your floor can be directly cast or laid on top of without the need for ply or formwork. Engineered to dissipate structure-borne noise and minimise impact vibrations, TICO Wave, which is composed of 92% recycled rubber, provides a low natural frequency solution for effectively decoupling a floor construction. Whether it’s cinemas, music studios, gyms,...

TICO FLOOR - HEAVY W Weighted Sound Reduction Index TICO Wave is available in a range of thicknesses and can be applied in numerous configurations to achieve the desired result. For more information on the thicknesses available, or for additional laboratory test results, please contact sales.

TICO FLOOR HEAVY M TICO FLOOR - HEAVY M Similar to our TICO-FLOOR HEAVY W solution but this system utilises a high-density flat mat sheeting to provide a cost-efficient solution to isolate floating screed and concrete floors. The system can be supplied in rolls or sheets that provide a full area coverage between the sub floor and floating concrete slab to provide a reduction in impact sound transmission. No ply or formwork is needed. TICO matting contributes to sustainable practices as it is in part manufactured with recycled endof-life tyres bounded with mass-polymerized polyurethanes Made Using...

TICO FLOOR - HEAVY M These results have been estimated according to ISO 12354-2, assuming a screed density of 2000 kg/m3 and mass per unit areas of 85, 145 and 200 kg/m2. More estimated performance data for screeds of varying thicknesses is available upon request. Acoustic laboratory test data will be available in the near future.
