Overlay Acoustic Flooring

Overlay Acoustic Flooring

Composite Construction Timber Panels

Overlay floor boards provide a simple solution for the improvement of structural and airborne sound transmission, which is achieved through the provision of additional mass decoupled from the existing floor substrate. The system is designed for the many applications where a civil floating floor is either impractical, unnecessary or economically prohibitive.

Construction

Overlay Acoustic Flooring

The boards comprise a moisture resistant, medium density fibreboard top layer decoupled from a moisture resistant chipboard core by visco-elastic damping strips. Acoustic felt bonded to the underside of the chipboard permits installation over minor surface irregularities and provides an element of decoupling from the main floor substrate. A neoprene strip around the periphery isolates the overlay flooring from the surrounding walls. The boards are laid to a staggered joint pattern and the overlapping tongues are bonded with adhesive. The floor surface will accept carpet or vinyl finishes to suit.

Technical

The boards are suitable for use at normal operating temperatures and carry British Board of Agrèment Certification. When properly installed they do not add to any existing fire hazard and will significantly reduce air and structure borne sound transmission.
