Favoured by specifiers who need to consider solutions to noise pollution in today’s busy, building world, CaberAcoustic from West Fraser is a versatile, economical sound-reducing flooring system which reduces both impact and airborne transmitted sounds. It can be laid over concrete and timber floors and is available in 18mm and 22mm thicknesses. Recommended to be laid and fitted with D3 PVA glue in the tongue and groove joints, CaberAcoustic achieves 19dB reduction in sound transference when installed on its own; it reduces sound but will not completely proof buildings from the transference of sound. Greater reductions are reached when used within a system for noise transference reductions. There are three flooring systems, CaberFloor P5, CaberDek, and CaberShield Eco, detailed on the West Fraser UK website – uk.westfraser.com.
CaberAcoustic cannot be fitted directly on to flooring joists; it is an overlay board and should always be laid, felt side down, as a floating floor directly on top of an existing flooring deck. The felt that is bonded to the underside of the chipboard is environmentally friendly as it is made from recycled fibres.
Are any other co-products needed?
CaberFloor P5, CaberDek or CaberShield Eco should be used in conjunction with CaberAcoustic in new build projects. For renovations, CaberAcoustic can be used on top of the existing floor.
