Quick installation time, especially compared to “jack-up” methods. Constant System natural frequency across a wide load range. Flexible capacities allow design for any load; from light wood floors to heavy mechanical equipment rooms. • When used in conjunction with ceiling and wall separation products, Model RIM is an essential component of “room-within-a-room” sound isolation construction.

We reserve the right to make changes to this and all products without notice. Floor isolation systems are incorporated into building design to minimize floor impact noise and airborne sound transmissions. A “floated” floor (or rooftop) is supported by resilient mounts installed on the structural floor or rooftop. The design of an effective isolation system is dependent on several factors including: 1.) Stiffness and mass of the structural floor, 2.) Isolation mount natural frequency and damping characteristics, 3.) Airspace height and venting, 4.) Mass and composition of the floated floor, 5.) Sound absorption in the airspace 6.) Control of sound flanking paths. Creating airspace between the structural and isolated floors while decoupling the two floors with the appropriate resilient mount effectively controls noise transmission. Maximum effectiveness of floating floor composite construction is achieved when the finished floor is fully isolated from the building structure and Application: Kinetics Noise Control’s premier rollout system easily creates an airspace of 1 to 4 inches and incorporates a high-performance resilient decoupler. The isolation material with Model KIP isolators selected and spaced according to design criteria offers major advantages over other systems. Installation labor is substantially reduced, as it is easier to roll out batting with pre-spaced isolators versus measuring for and placing individual isolation mounts. This feature also ensures that the system will reach the high levels of expected performance. This system is designed to meet requirements for; load capacity, natural frequency/pad deflection, and acoustical performance.

Accordingly, airborne and impact noise transmissions are greatly reduced between the room incorporating the floating floor system and other parts of the building. Additionally, floating floor systems are often used to prevent transmission of vibration and airborne noise from entering into the space in which the floating floor is installed. One such application would be the construction of floating floors for a multiplex theater adjacent to a railway. Kinetics Noise Control floating floor systems offers the largest variety of isolation mounts to fit specific applications. These include resilient pre-compressed fiberglass pads, steel springs, and neoprene or natural rubber pads. Acoustical test data for Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Impact Insulation Class (IIC) are available for several types of isolated floor/ceiling assemblies documenting system performance. 2’’ Topping Slab Precast Concrete 14’’ Tee Noteworthy Projects
