ACOUSTICAL PLANK FLOORS, also known as Floating Floors are floors which
are isolated from the structural platform over which they are installed, by the
installation of an Acoustical Blanket, that absorbs or muffles Structure Borne
Sound or foot-fall noise.
Acoutical Plank Floors are extensively used
throughout the world in high rise apartment buildings where a particular level
of intimacy is necessary between the floors of adjacent apartments and are
increasingly the floor of choice for 1st floor additions work where the
advantage of quieter floors is obvious.
There are a range of materials that may be used to isolate Structure Borne Sound and where clients are looking for exceptional results, several of these materials may be used in combination to greatly enhance the Field Impact Isolation Ratings which may be achieved.
Acoustical Plank Floors have the distinct advantage of usually being installed as a totally “PRE-Finished” product, finished with a minimum of six (6) coats of the latest German technology in Polyacryl finishes, which provide outstanding longevity in the performance of the surface coatings.
Regrettably the types of finishes applied to all factory finishes are not able to be applied on our site finished work, and both the quality and application of the surface coatings applied to these products are truly outstanding.
