SIF2 Silent Floor Channels. Acoustic Floating floor to retain Floorboards

Description

SIF2 ( 1/2 Channels) – Silent floor channels can be used to improve both impact and airborne noise transference through timber joist floors and floorboards. The metal channels are installed to the existing joist and the isolation strip decouples the floorboards from the current structure, thus creating a floating floor. Use at the end of the rooms joists and also around fireplaces and where in some cases joists are doubles up.

The transfer of impact noise through floor structure to the room below, for example impact noise from footfall or furniture movement, is reduced due to the integral neoprene strip located within Floor Channels

An existing structure can be improved, in terms of both fire and acoustic performance, without requiring extensive alteration, even where access is available from above only.

Benefits

• Provides a significant uplift in acoustic performance making it an ideal upgrade for transforming a non-performing floor to one that is Building Regulations compliant
• Adds only 7mm to the existing floor height.
• 1/2 channels @ 2m – Installed to joists around fireplaces,joists at end of the room and where joists are doubles up

Acoustic & Fire Performance:

• Sound insulation airborne: 54 – 63 (R_w dB)
• Sound insulation impact: 63 – 55 (L_nw dB)
• Fire resistance: 30 – 90 (min)
