With building codes in Ontario becoming more strict, it’s imperative that STC (airborne noise) and IIC (impact noise) ratings are satisfied. We can usually meet these codes with our self-leveling lightweight cements by pouring 1” to 1.5” over the existing wood sub-floor.
In buildings where there are multi-story residential floors with different residents on each floor, STC and IIC ratings become even more strict. To mitigate this issue for our clients, we offer a sound attenuation mat paired with the self-leveling cement poured on top.
This floor system of sound attenuation mat and self-leveling cement decouples the sound transfer from floor to floor and will drastically increase the buildings STC and IIC ratings.
