Acoustic Floating Floor Systems are designed to help isolate the sound of music and speech and make it more transparent by reducing reverberation. This technology is best for conference halls, auditoriums, church sanctuaries, and lecture halls because it makes speaking easier on the ears. It also helps reduce outside noises from seeping in. We at Vibra Sonic provide this equipment in many sizes and configurations.
There are two types of built-in floating floor systems. One is the suspended system, which has a separate bracket for each tile. And the other is a glue-down system, where there is one bracket that the tiles glue to. The primary difference between these two types is in labor involved in installing them. The suspended system requires you to remove the old flooring, drill holes through joists into each tile location, and re-install all of your sub-flooring afterward.
Benefits of Acoustic Floating Floor Systems
1. Reduce noise level by up to 80%
The suspended and glue-down systems provide you with a floating floor capable of reducing noise by up to 80 percent. The suspension bridges the gap between the floor and the joists, creating an air buffer between the two surfaces. But to achieve these sound reduction levels, you must use thicker tiles, and there are typically required codes for how many inches thick your tiles must be based on how much sound reduction you need.
2. Reduce reverberation by up to 70%
Reverberation occurs when sound is captured and bounces back off walls and ceilings, repeatedly filling the room with the same sound. The Acoustic Floating Floor Systems provides an energy-absorbing underlayment that helps prevent this problem. They also reduce echo and add clarity to the sound.
3. Require very little energy to install
Installation requires minimum labor time, as they do not require special skills or specialized tools. The tiles are glued down, and they are ready to use. The weight of these tiles, as some may be pretty heavy, even when made of eco-friendly material. If this is the case, you will want to ensure that your floor has proper support or that you have the right equipment to move them into place or remove them if necessary.
4. Lower maintenance
No special maintenance after installation is required. Unlike other flooring systems, the floor can not be washed or waxed. That makes for a quicker turnaround time for your conference room. The tiles are also typically available in a range of designs and colors.
5. Additional benefits
Acoustic Floating Floor Systems have been found to reduce dust levels in the air by up to 80 percent. They are also good for the environment because they are made from recycled materials, reducing their environmental impact.
