Concrete Floating Floors

Concrete floating slabs are used where mass is needed to boost low frequency noise reduction. This creates airspace between a poured non-structural slab and the subfloor below. Selection of the appropriate isolation material is based on the application. Both formwork systems and "jack-up" systems using neoprene or fiberglass pads produce relatively high STC and IIC ratings when compared to thinner continuous underlayment assemblies. Where heavy impacts from sport and fitness activity are a concern, a spring lift slab floor system is often utilized.
