This Bronze Floor Cavity System is designed to improve the sound insulation of timber suspended floors so is not suitable for concrete floors. It is particularly useful if any increase in the existing floor height is not desired and will help reduce airborne noise from above and below. The system is also a very good prelude to further soundproofing that may be required on top of the floor to enhance the soundproofing properties of the insulated floor.
This system is unlikely to reduce any footfall or impact sound that is made on the floor.
SoundBlocker Membrane
This innovative material utilises the latest technology incorporating synthetic rubber and special fillers producing a revolutionary sound blocking membrane.
This innovative product is nominally 1mm thick and weighs just 2Kg/ m² so is easy to handle and carry.
The AMW Acoustic Mineral Wool boasts more than twice the density of normal loft insulation and so is more efficient at absorbing noise. AMW is used extensively in buildings and throughout industry to give additional acoustic, thermal and fire insulation. It is particularly useful as a sound absorbing infill between joists and stud partitions for the reduction of airborne sound.
It is non-flammable, chemically inert and not adversely affected by any substance it may come into contact with. The panels are Zero ODP and Zero GWP in the terms of the code for sustainable homes. Each slab is made from 22% recycled raw materials.
Random arrangement of fibres resists water penetration in any direction. It is rot-proof, non-hygroscopic, does not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, moulds or bacteria and will not react with wired plastic or metal wall ties, brickwork or masonry.
The system is supplied with the following products included;
If you have experience of lifting floorboards then the system will be easy to fit otherwise a local handyman or second fix carpenter could undertake the work.
Once ordered the products are all delivered to your street address (Access Permitting) with full step by step install instructions.
This system is effective at reducing normal noise levels, that should not normally be heard, for example talking and radio at normal sound levels. We suggest you also use a suitable system on top of the floorboards as well. Loud music and bass noise will always be audible although its intensity should be reduced.
