Model KSCH Super Compact Ceiling Hanger

Kinetics Model IsoLayment BR Noise Control Floor Underlayment

Specification

Part 1 – General

1.01  Work Included

A.  Furnish all labor, materials, tools and equipment, and perform all operations necessary for the installation of a resilient floor system.

1.02  System Description

A.  Noise control floor systems, where shown on drawings, shall be isolated from the building structure using resilient floor underlayment and perimeter isolation material. Subfloor and finish floor materials shall be constructed on the resilient floor underlayment and abutting perimeter isolation material.

1.03  Quality Assurance

A.  Noise control floor underlayment and perimeter isolation material shall be designed and fabricated at facilities of a nationally recognized manufacturer having a minimum of five years experience in furnishing noise control materials.

Part 2 – Products

2.01 Materials

A.  The noise control isolation material specified herein shall be IsoLayment BR designed and provided by Kinetics Noise Control, Inc. Dublin, Ohio.

B.  Finish floor systems shall be constructed over Kinetics’ Model IsoLayment BR Noise Control Floor Underlayment as shown in drawings and per manufacturer’s guidelines.

C.  Noise control floor underlayment material shall be [3mm, 9mm] thick molded crumb rubber and shall consist of 98% post-consumer rubber.

D.  Resilient floor underlayment material shall not shrink, swell, or decompose under dry or wet conditions.

E.  Kinetics Model SRP isolation material shall be required where horizontal joints abut non-isolated building components. Model SRP perimeter isolation material shall be 3/8” thick.

F.  Sound Isolation performance of the specified "Floating Floor" system shall have been evaluated at a nationally recognized independent laboratory and shall have minimum ratings of STC 50, IIC 50, and a ∆IIC of 21. Manufacturers offering alternate systems shall provide laboratory test from an independent laboratory verifying that the alternate system is capable of achieving equivalent sound isolation results.

Part 3 – Execution

3.01 Installation

A.  The installation of all noise control isolation materials specified herein, including those installed under other sections of the specifications, shall be in accordance with procedures submitted by the isolation material manufacturer, and approved by the Architect.

B.  All noise control isolation materials and building components supported by the resilient isolation materials shall be free from rigid contact with any part of the building structure. Do not nail, screw, or otherwise fasten through the resilient isolation material. Kinetics Model SRP perimeter isolation material shall be installed by bonding it to the non-isolated component, then constructing the composite materials for the resilient floor against it. Upon completion of the resilient floor system installation, seal the Model SRP with a resilient, non-hardening caulking compound.
