Acoustica^® Marine Floating Floor

For Sound & Vibration Damping

Acoustica’s Patented Marine Floating Floor System controls noise transmission, by damping the highly resonant steel or aluminium floor structure and removing energy from the resonant vibration.

The Floating Floor System combines three layers of 'visco-elastic' damping membranes combined with a needle punched sound absorber and two layers of marine ply that in combination offer the following advantages.

• The 'Captive visco-elastic' vibration damping layer laminated between the two layers of marine ply, together with the first layer of damping material 'floating' over the resilient sound absorber are designed to absorb vibrations generated into the ply wood panels.
• The high-density (160 kg/m3) resilient double needle punched polyester matting act as a very efficient sound absorber as well as a vibration isolator.
• The 'visco-elastic' vibration damping membrane in contact with the steel floor effectively dissipates the vibrational energy. The level of damping can be augmented, to increase energy dissipation in particular vibration modes. In this way, the response of a structure driven at a resonant frequency can be greatly decreased. This in turn can significantly reduce overall motion or acceleration of a system or product.
• The marine ply offers an excellent base to accept any type of finished flooring material.
