Description : Floating floor systems are part of state-of-the-art modern building technology. They are a cost-effective and efficient option to improve the acoustical performance of our buildings and are commonly part of box-in-box systems installed in high-performance spaces. Floating floors are usually made of poured-in-place concrete or of lightweight panel systems, supported by resilient elements that transfer the loads from the floating floor to the subfloor. A floating floor system can have three functions, or a combination thereof, depending on the final objective in the building design:
Airborne noise isolation (An increase of the airborne isolation properties of the floor structure. E.g.: floors of mechanical equipment rooms, musical/rehearsal spaces, recording studios, bowling alleys, etc.)
