Acoustic characteristics 66% better than ordinary plaster
83% more thermally efficient than ordinary concrete.

Rubbercrete is a new plaster/screed product developed using rubber crumb from used car tyres. The invention allows rubber to be incorporated into a plaster mix design enabling it to be applied as a conventional wall plaster or flooring screed.

Rubbercrete provides a composition, which can be applied directly to the interior surface of a wall or floor to provide a sustainable substitute for traditional plaster/screeds or as an enhancement of the acoustic characteristics of the wall/floor surface.

Rubber is known for its sound insulation qualities particularly noise reverberation. Noise pollution is today for those who suffer from it an acute problem and this product addresses this issue and will help to rectify the situation.

There are currently no economical methods of providing acoustic and sound insulation. This product is a sustainable product that addresses an environmental issue and affords a solution to it.

The product has been developed by Glenn Melvin MD of Walltransform Ltd. Walltransform see this new acoustic sound insulation innovation as a necessary product by giving a new use for an end-of-life product, whilst at the same time is helping the environment and fulfilling a need within the construction industry.
