Resonate Systems Ltd

The Eversley Road development in Swansea is a newly constructed residential block comprising of 13 one-bedroom flats across three floors, along with associated communal areas. The project was delivered by Easyliving Limited in collaboration with Beacon Cymru Group. Faced with the ‘holy grail’ of building acoustics, the project had been designed to use engineered timber floor joists with masonry external block walls. This creates a lot of issues with flanking transmission travelling down the block work walls that pass from floor to floor, and can prove difficult to achieve good airborne sound passes for the party floors due to this issue. As part of a value engineering initiative, Easyliving Limited sought high-performance alternatives to other acoustic flooring and wall lining systems that had been suggested by the architect and acoustician. After reviewing various options, they selected Resonate GYPDECK 28, attracted by its performance credentials, competitive pricing, and the high level of technical support offered by the Resonate team. The Resonate team also recommended and specified a more suitable wall lining solution for the project, which not only addressed the flanking sound issue but also significantly reduced costs on wall lining materials. GYPDECK 28 was used on the separating floors to deliver outstanding airborne sound performance, due to its ultra high-density and engineered interlocking joint detail. These dry screed acoustic floor panels feature a 10mm layer of ResoFleece, a recycled polyester fibre (recycled plastic bottles) resilient layer that delivers excellent impact sound reduction. Installed beneath the final floor finish, GYPDECK 28 enhances acoustic comfort—making it an ideal solution for residential environments such as apartment buildings. Nathan Daniel of Easyliving Limited commented: "Working with the Resonate team has been very straightforward. Richard and the team were very easy to deal with and very knowledgeable, guiding us through the different products. The Easyliving project team had a very good experience of installing GYPDECK 28 due to it being easier to manoeuvre around site." The use of GYPDECK 28 not only simplified installation for the site team but also ensured a high level of acoustic performance, greatly improving living conditions for future residents. The combination of technical guidance, product reliability, and ease of handling made GYPDECK 28 a valuable component in the successful delivery of this residential development.

GYPDECK 18 + UFH was selected for a mixed-use development comprising of apartments and retail space on Fulham Palace Road in Hammersmith, London. The system was chosen for its exceptional acoustic and underfloor heating output performance. The lightweight structure of the GYPDECK 18 system offered a superior alternative to traditional screeds. Ideally suited to residential developments such as apartments, GYPDECK 18 dry screed panels were installed in combination with ResoTherm XPS R insulation boards, providing an integrated underfloor heating and acoustic solution. The system was installed directly beneath the floor finish, ensuring seamless integration with the building design.The GYPDECK 18 panels feature low thermal resistance, enabling efficient heat transfer and optimal underfloor heating performance. The CNC-routed ResoTherm XPS insulation panels offer high compressive strength, making them particularly well-suited to areas with heavy foot traffic. The project comprises new-build structures of four and five storeys, plus a basement, and includes 34 residential units and two ground-floor retail spaces, covering an area of approximately 3,369 sqm.Resonate supplied GYPDECK 18 + UFH for all 34 flats, which range from one- to three-bedroom units.When asked about his experience working with Resonate Systems, Paul Bedden, Branch Manager at Travis Perkins, stated:“The team at Resonate Systems made everything about supplying this project a pleasure. From the clear and easy-to-understand quotation, excellent technical information, and consistent communication throughout multiple deliveries, the process was seamless for both our branch staff and the site team. The GYPDECK 18 + UFH system was perfect for this development, providing both acoustic treatment and underfloor heating compatibility. We look forward to continuing to supply Resonate products to our customers in the future.”

Zebra Architects were commissioned to handle both the planning and technical work for the redevelopment of the historic Ice Works building in Worcester. The project involved a combination of newly constructed buildings and the conversion of a historic mill, creating a total of 54 apartments on Bromyard Road, St Johns, Worcester. The development was divided into three phases, with the final phase (Phase 3) focusing on the Mill block, comprising 12 two-bedroom apartments, all featuring underfloor heating throughout.For Phase 3, Resonate Systems’ GYPDECK 18 + UFH was selected due to the building's need for a high-performance soundproofing and underfloor heating solution. GYPDECK 18 dry screed panels were installed alongside ResoTherm XPS R insulation boards and ResoFleece, delivering a complete underfloor heating and acoustic system tailored to the residential nature of the development.Underfloor Heating Supply Limited were supplied with 900m² of Resonate Systems products for Phase 3. Stephen Featherstone, Director of Underfloor Heating Supply Limited, commented: "All product deliveries arrived on time and were well palletised. The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the comprehensive on-site training provided by Resonate Systems."This redevelopment project successfully combined historical preservation with modern living solutions, ensuring both aesthetic and functional excellence.

Cozia Systems were appointed as the main contractor for the installation of underfloor heating in a 1970s bungalow consisting of a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The project featured Resonate's HEATBACKER underfloor heating panels, chosen for their low-profile and lightweight construction, and Kelmore's range of primers, adhesive, and levelling compounds to complete the installation.Kelmore products were selected for their compatibility with the project’s substrate conditions. The existing bitumen flooring posed challenges for usual adhesives selected for installation, so Cozia Systems used Kelmore Grip primer and tile adhesive to address the issue. The installation was completed using Kelmore’s universal primer and levelling compound, ensuring a smooth, reliable finish for the underfloor heating system. All Resonate boards are complimented by documents that list a process and best practice of laying Kelmore adhesives, primers and levellers.Cozia Systems used a total of 72.6m² of Resonate and Kelmore products in the retrofit. Ian Reading, Owner of Cozia Systems, praised the collaboration, stating that Resonate’s team was professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.

The Summerleaze development is a prestigious collection of 25 energy-efficient homes, consisting of 23 three, four, and five-bedroom houses, along with 2 one-bedroom flats, located in the picturesque village of Churchill, Somerset. Developed by Coln Residential Homes, these properties have been meticulously designed to incorporate modern, sustainable technologies. Each home boasts a high-specification finish and is equipped with air source heat pumps, underfloor heating, and solar photovoltaic panels, reflecting a commitment to energy efficiency and comfort.For this project, Resonate Systems' ResoTherm XPS R 300 underfloor heating boards were selected for their superior performance, quality, and cost-effectiveness. These high-quality underfloor heating boards feature CNC-grooved channels, facilitating easy installation of underfloor heating pipes. With a compressive strength of 300kPa, they are ideally suited for both new build developments, like Summerleaze, and refurbishment projects.Certus Construction, the contractor for this development, installed 1,700m² of ResoTherm XPS R 300 boards.Ben Hambling, Underfloor Heating Manager at Certus Construction, remarked: "Working with Resonate Systems has been excellent. Deliveries have consistently been on time, which has been crucial to meeting project milestones, and the ResoTherm XPS R 300 boards have performed exceptionally well."
