Types of Acoustic Floating Floors
Floating floors systems are used for many purposes, predominantly sound isolation but also vibration and impact isolation.
In layman’s terms, acoustic flooring is required to reduce noise (or vibration) from a noisy room or environment to areas that need to be quiet. If they are incorporated with acoustically isolated walls and ceilings the combination will greatly reduce the noise levels or energy transmitted to the quiet areas. This is then known as 'box in box'construction.
There are several acoustic flooring systems available. LDS rubber FSN jack-up, FS spring jack-up, MFS spring mounts for wooden floors & EAFM form work method. These flooring systems are used to acoustically isolate a room from its surroundings. The nature of the noise/vibration will dictate the best solution.
• The concrete jack-up system, either LDS rubber or spring, for which Mason UK offers a full design and installation service.
• The concrete formwork system, where concrete is poured on a plywood layer placed on LDS rubber isolators.
• Lightweight wooden acoustic sports flooring, either on LDS rubber floor isolators or low profile floor springs.
Box in Box
Well-designed studios incorporate the 'box in box' concept, which is an acoustically isolated room, built within the existing structure. This room (or box) is totally separate from the original structure, only connecting through the various spring or rubber components of our products. These acoustic isolation products create an air gap, which controls air-born noise, working in the same way as double-glazing.
Jack-Up LDS Rubber Floating Floors
The Mason FSN Jack-Up system eliminates the need for the labour intensive installation of shutters & the lifting process ensures the airgap without the possibility of bridging. The elastomer used is now LDS (Low Dynamic Stiffness)rubber which is a recent advanced formulation that has the low dynamic
Jack-Up Spring Floating Floors
Mason Industries jack up, spring, acoustic, floating floors are used for low frequency isolation or where impact isolation is required, such as bowling alleys, aerobics & health clubs. Click below to find out more.
Wooden Floating Floors
Wooden floating floors using the Mason MFS spring mount are great for acoustic sports flooring. Their lightweight design means they are often suitable where concrete flooring is not. Click below to find out more.
Form Work Floating Floor
The formwork system is an alternative to jack-up floating floors. The method is one whereby a continuous layer of the isolation media (EAFM Form work mounts) is used as a pouring surface.
Tomorrow we will go into greater detail about how which type of floating floor application
is appropriate for each type of flooring that you would find. ie, concrete, wood, stone, brick, carpet, apartments, houses, decks you name it.
