Follow on Google News | Flowcrete Floor To Deliver Peace & Quiet at Luxury Fairmont Dubai DevelopmentGuests and residents of the luxury Fairmont Palm Hotel & Resort in Dubai will be able to enjoy increased peace and quiet thanks to a specialist flooring system from Flowcrete to be Installed in all bedroom suites and corridors to minimise sound.
By: Flowcrete Flowcrete Middle East Managing Director Andrew Gwyther said, “This is a significant achievement for us and we are proud to be involved in such a prestigious development. The developers and architects were keen to ensure that any noise generated within the apartment buildings is not transferred to occupants below or above. This unique screed system will help achieve that.” The Acoustic K system is a special formulation of Flowcrete’s proprietary Isocrete K-Screed and reinforced with Isocrete polypropylene fibres. It will be installed at 50mm thickness over a high performance 9mm Isocrete acoustic mat on top of the pre-cast concrete floor slab. Some 23,000 sq metres of the Acoustic K system will be supplied. The K-Screed was specified in place of conventional sand/cement screed due to its high compressive strength and low water-cement ratio, which minimises shrinkage and cracking. A further important factor in the selection was the fast drying time, enabling following trades to typically start work within 48 hours. The news follows the recent announcement of the company’s multi-million pound contract to install its high performance car-park decking system; Deckshield, at the Jumeirah Lakes Towers Development, also in Dubai. # # # With 30 offices worldwide and 12 manufacturing plants globally, Flowcrete Group Ltd manufactures an extensive range of specialist flooring for commercial and industrial buildings. In April 2008, Flowcrete Group Ltd became part of RPM International Inc. End
