Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An acoustic isolation mat is provided for placement between a subfloor and a finished floor. The acoustic isolation mat has a first layer placed directly upon the subfloor that includes a fiberglass-containing acoustic insulation, a second layer placed directly upon the first layer that includes an entangled polymer, and a third layer placed directly upon the second layer and below the finished floor that has a sheet of fibrous material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A composite flooring system configured for reduced acoustic transmission, the flooring system comprising: a cross laminated timber (CLT) subfloor; a first layer placed directly upon said CLT subfloor and comprising a fiberglass-containing acoustic insulation; a second layer placed directly upon said first layer and comprising an entangled polymer; a third layer placed directly upon said second layer and comprising a sheet of fibrous material; a poured underlayment deposited upon said third layer; and a finished floor, thereby forming a composite flooring with said subfloor and said finished floor, said composite floor having an Impact Insulation Class above 50. 2. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein a series of radiant heat tubes are placed within said poured underlayment. 3. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein said entangled polymer is either a durable nylon polymer or polypropylene. 4. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein said second layer is heat bonded to said third layer. 5. The composite flooring system of claim 4 , wherein said second layer and said third layer are heat bonded to said first layer. 6. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein said sheet of fibrous material is either a point bonded polyester or a needle punched fabric. 7. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein said first, second and third layers combined have a height of less than or equal to 2 inches (5.08 cm). 8. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein said first layer is approximately ¼ inch (0.635 cm) high and has a density of 1 pcf (16.02 kg/m 3 ). 9. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein said finished floor is luxury vinyl plank. 10. The composite flooring system of claim 1 , wherein said first layer further comprises rubber.
