IMPACT SOUND INSULATION Impact noise in multi-family dwellings is generated by footfalls, scraping furniture, hanging doors, vibrations from loud music and plumbing noise. The acoustic energy due to impacts passes through the building structure and creates noise in nearby rooms. To provide the appropriate noise reduction the floor should be designed to reduce impact and airborne noises. IIC (Impact Isolation Class) descriptions will be used in describing the floor performance. IIC Rating and corresponding performances IIC Rating <45 Performances Poor Footfall noise is clearly audible and...

A strip of KIMMCO insulation is applied along the wall perimeter (fig 1). One layer KIMMCO Acoustical Floor Insulation is laid down. Boards are perfectly joined (fig 2). In case pipes have been laid on the floor, gravel is put on the entire floor surface to cover the pipe-work. Polyethylene film is laid on top of the gravel and one layer of KIMMCO Acoustical Floor Insulation is laid down.Boards are perfectly joined (Fig 3). Two polyethylene films 0.1 mm thick are laid on the top of the insulation. The films are overlapped. The lengthwise edges of the film are superposed by 15 cm (Fig 4)....
