Rapid Floor® Systems floor underlayments offer solutions
for practically any flooring challenge-from new construction to renovation,
commercial to single family applications. But the benefits don't stop there.
In addition to fast installation and a new, smooth surface, they also bring
significant sound control and fire resistance properties to every project.
New construction and renovation projects present
their own special challenges. But Rapid Floor® Systems offer specific solutions,
so you can customize installation for each project.
offers
the advantage of a smooth, joint-free surface and is an excellent alternative
to double wood floor construction in new, multifamily residential projects.
provides
the extra muscle required when the job calls for a tougher, more durable surface.
Its flexible compressive strength can be formulated up to 3200
psi (22 MPa), for the increased surface hardness that's critical in renovation,
single family and commercial projects.
is
formulated to provide compressive strengths ranging from 2500 to 4000 psi (17.2
to 27.4 MPa), and offers an economical alternative to many concrete floor underlayment
applications in commercial and renovation projects.
is the ultimate underlayment for radiant
heat applications. Poured over hot water tubes or electric heating cables,
it maximizes radiant heat performance while withstanding temperature fluctuations.
Self-Leveling
Floor Underlayment is a specially formulated, high-strength, cementitious underlayment
that can handle any floor leveling challenge-without shotblasting or scarifying.
is a multi-purpose self-leveling floor underlayment, ideal for thin or thick
topping applications over concrete. Levels, smooths and repairs, all with superior
speed and a high strength set. It's the superior solution for 0-1-1/2" (0-38mm).
Dries fast to keep your job on schedule.
is
used when the job calls for a new floor that's smooth, level and super fast-setting.
Levels, smoothes, and repairs 0 - 3/8" (0-10 mm). is a self-leveling, portland cement-based topping that is pumped in and quickly fills dips, voids and cracks to create a flat, hard wear surface.
is
fast drying and achieves compressive strengths up to 4500 psi (31 MPa). It's
the ideal underlayment to meet ASTM F710 "Preparing Concrete to Receive Resilient
Flooring." Plus it pours over VAT, VCT, terrazzo or ceramic, with no shotblasting
required.
Conventional underlayments don't measure up to Rapid Floor®
Systems underlayment's superior sound control and fire resistance.
Some underlayments, such as particleboard, change dimensions
excessively with varying moisture conditions. Others such as plywood can delaminate,
causing obnoxious squeaks and nail pops. Builders and building owners appreciate
the ease with which Rapid Floor® Systems underlayments eliminate these problems
and homeowners appreciate how effectively sound transmission is reduced.
provides the superior sound control that’s
fast becoming a standard amenity in today’s residential and commercial properties.
Ideal for new construction or renovation, Acousti-Mat® is now available in four
levels of sound control.
Increases IIC and STC levels up to 10 points over wood frame, and IIC up to 20 points over concrete.
Increases IIC and STC levels up to 12 points over wood frames, and IIC up to 20 points over concrete.
Increases IIC and STC levels up to 17 points over wood frame, and IIC up to 25 points over concrete.
are now offered with 40% Post-Industrial Recycled Content —available with optional water resistant fabric. Covered with a GREENGUARD-certified Maxxon Underlayment, these Acousti-Mat Systems are the ultimate in green-friendly sound.
(Concrete/Low Profile) system provides
a permanent solution for impact sound control in concrete construction. The Acousti-Mat CLP ststem achieves a Delta IIC ratings of 19, that's approximately a 75% reduction in impact noise over concrete floor systems.
Ideal for fast-track projects, Acousti-Mat installation is fast and easy. After laying Acousti-Mat over the subfloor, Maxxon® floor specialists pour a high-strength Maxxon underlayment on top, completing the system.
For more information on Enkasonic and Acousti-Mat®, the ultimate sound control systems, see our Sound Control Brochure in Sweets 09 60 00.11/ACO.
Keeping noise in its place is especially important
in residential as well as commercial projects. Rapid Floor® Systems underlayments
control sound transmission between rooms and between floors, so occupants enjoy
greater peace, quiet and privacy. Rapid Floor® Systems underlayments fill cracks
in the subfloor and seal perimeter joints, significantly reducing sound leaks.
Their high density and monolithic application stiffen the floor, virtually eliminating
squeaky floors and nail pops so prevalent in wood frame assemblies. Independent
sound test results on a wide range of floor and ceiling assemblies are listed
in the Sound Ratings table on this screen.
Wherever Rapid Floor® Systems underlayments
flow into place - over plywood, into cracks, under walls - they create a flame
barrier between wood and other flammable materials, retarding the spread of
flame and smoke. Over precast concrete, they can increase the UL rating by two
hours.
In testing by Underwriters Laboratories, Rapid Floor®
Systems underlayments were rated 0 for flame spread, fuel contribution and smoke
density.
In practically no time at all, Rapid Floor®
Systems can transform even rough, uneven and warped surfaces into smooth, flat
floors ready for any specified floor goods - carpeting, vinyl, wood parquet
or ceramic tile.
The time savings start with high-volume application equipment
that can pump 1000 to 30,000 square feet (93 m² - 2787 m²) in one
workday. Next, Rapid Floor® Systems underlayments set fast, so other subtrades
can stay on schedule. The surface can be walked on within 90 minutes after pouring,
although it is common practice to allow the underlayment to set overnight before
resuming full traffic. By the very next morning, other trades can go about their
work without costly delays.
Rapid Floor® Systems products have undergone various reviews to ensure compliance
with building codes. Refer to the following evaluation reports for specific
code compliance.
