The medium weight overlay board was specified by contractors Renaker Build for its ability to reduce the floor thickness above the joist by 50%, while meeting necessary separating floor acoustic requirements.
ElecoFloor comprises moisture resistant chipboard and MDF with a resilient central layer and a polyester felt backing.
Renake Build has used ElecoFloor on other previous developments, including Delta Point, also in Manchester.
Stramit claims the product can significantly reduce the height of multi-storey apartment buildings, saving on materials, while the fast installation of an overlay board, rather than a built-up system, also saved time.
