Acoustic Flooring Systems
Sound treatment is an essential consideration in many buildings to reduce noise disturbance and enhance the quality of sound. Whether you are building a school, an office, or a residential complex, selecting the right acoustic flooring materials is crucial to effective sound treatment.
At All Construction UK, we understand the importance of sound reduction in various applications. That is why we offer a range of acoustic flooring solutions that can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of different sectors. Our solutions are designed to reduce both airborne and impact noise in many applications, providing you with the peace and quiet you need.
Anti-Vibration Dry Systems
Anti-vibration dry systems are designed to provide a stable floated floor when it is not possible to install concrete floating floors. This solution is ideal for situations where you need to reduce noise and vibration but cannot use concrete floating floors due to weight or height restrictions. These systems work by isolating the floor from the building structure, using materials such as resilient layers, rubber pads or cradles. They are quick to install and offer excellent acoustic benefits.
Anti Vibration Concrete Systems
On the other hand, anti-vibration concrete systems are the most common type of floated build-up. These systems consist of a concrete floating floor that provides additional mass, offering the greatest acoustic benefit. They are perfect for applications where high levels of noise reduction are required, such as music studios, cinemas, and concert halls. The concrete floating floor is designed to isolate the room from the building structure, preventing noise and vibration from travelling through the floor. These systems are durable, long-lasting, and provide excellent acoustic performance.
Dry Screed Panel Flooring
Dry Screed Panel Flooring is an interlocking reinforced cement fibre floor panel. It is a popular choice for new build and refurbishment projects as it provides an efficient and reliable solution. The panels are designed to fit together seamlessly, creating a smooth surface that can be used for a variety of applications.
Chip Panel Flooring Solution
Our Chip Panel Flooring Solution is an acoustic chip panel solution for suspended floors that enables you to go direct to joist, by using the structural ChipPanel 37. The ChipPanel 37 is a structural panel that can be used to create a suspended floor without the need for additional support. This solution is ideal for refurbishments or when you need to reduce the weight of your flooring system.
Acoustic Batten System
Our Acoustic Batten System is designed to reduce impact sound transmission by creating a floating floor. The battens are installed on top of the existing subfloor, with a resilient layer placed between the battens and the new floor finish. The resilient layer absorbs sound energy and prevents it from passing through to the floor below, creating a more peaceful environment.
Acoustic Cradle Leveling System
The Acoustic Cradle Leveling System is a unique solution designed for creating an acoustic timber floating floor over uneven concrete and timber subfloors. This system uses a combination of cradles and acoustic pads to create a level and resilient subfloor that is perfect for a variety of applications.
The cradles are adjustable, allowing for easy leveling of the subfloor, even on uneven surfaces. The acoustic pads are placed on top of the cradles, creating a resilient layer that absorbs sound and reduces vibration.
Deep Void Steel Pedestals
Acoustic Deep Void Steel Pedestals are a type of levelling system that is typically used when an increased floor height is required. These pedestals are designed to create a level and stable subfloor, even on uneven surfaces.
The pedestals are made of high-quality steel, providing a sturdy and durable base for the raised floor. They are adjustable, allowing for easy levelling of the subfloor to ensure a smooth and even surface. This system is ideal for a variety of applications where a raised floor is necessary, including data centres, clean rooms, and other facilities where wiring and piping needs to be installed.
Understanding Acoustic Flooring: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Acoustic Flooring, and where is it commonly used?
Acoustic Flooring is a flooring system designed to reduce the transmission of sound through a separating floor. It is usually specified within apartments and hotels but can also be utilized in houses.
How do you determine which Acoustic Flooring system is right for my commercial building?
The system proposed will depend on various factors such as the use of the building, subfloor construction, ceiling treatment below, and the type of noise that needs to be reduced. An acoustic consultant should be contacted to ensure that the correct system is used.
What factors need to be considered when reducing noise through floors?
When trying to reduce noise through floors, factors such as the use of the building, the construction of the subfloor, the ceiling treatment below, and the type of noise that needs to be reduced must be considered.
What type of insulation is commonly used between separating floors, and what performance requirements should be referred to?
Mineral wool is often used as insulation between separating floors. Part E of the Building Regulations should be referred to for performance requirements as this covers the passage of sound between walls and floors.
