KINETICS Sound Rated Impact Floor

 

 

KINETICS® Sound Rated Impact Floor

 

 

Many owner occupants of condominiums and other multi-family dwelling share a preference for hard surface floors such as ceramic tile, quarry tile, marble, hardwood flooring, wood parquet or vinyl tile. Foyers, kitchens, bathrooms, work areas and special purpose spaces are typical candidates for non-carpeted floors.

Some localities have adopted building codes which require minimum IIC (Impact Insulation Class) and STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings for floor/ceiling systems. California has established 50 as their minimum acceptable IIC and STC rating for residential construction.

An IIC of 50 or less will result in disturbing impact sounds below. With an IIC of 50 to 60 certain sounds in the spaces below may be audible, however with IIC ratings of 60 or higher virtually no audible sounds from impact will be heard below.

Kinetics Type SR Floorboard is a proven tool in the control of impact noise in condominiums, apartments, multi-family dwellings, commercial buildings, and other areas where footfall and impact noise can be the cause of complaints.

Type SR Floorboard is a unique underlayment material which substantially reduces sound transmission through hard surface floor systems. Ratings of IIC (Impact Insulation class) of 50 to 65 have been achieved in typical applications, compared with IIC-25 to 34 with conventional construction.

SR Floorboard is a 5/8" thick composite of high density molded glass fibers separated by a rigid phenolic treated honeycomb core. It provides a system which is stiff enough to prevent grout cracking in tile floors while being soft enough to absorb impact loads.
