| Revolutionary New GREEN Sound-Attenuated Flooring System | |
| There is a newly developed wood flooring system available which offers numerous benefits including drastically improved cost, sound attenuation, green design, reduced overall thickness of flooring system, and fewer construction site scheduling and coordination impacts associated with wood flooring installation and finishing. This new solution makes use of a sound attenuating adhesive that meets the NYC Department of Buildings standard for underlayment in wood flooring applications where sound transmission must be controlled. The adhesive allows solid wood flooring to be installed directly over leveled concrete - resulting in a ½" flooring system thickness, where 2¾" is otherwise found. The growing polularity and desire for green construction practices is taking hold in the marketplace with ever-increasing intensity. This new system has low VOC's, uses FSC certified wood products, and eliminates the two layers of underlayment that current sound attenuated systems require. Installation and sanding of a glue-down hardwood floor occurs after all cabinetry has been installed and the drywall is primed, thus simplifying scheduling by placing all flooring operations at the tail end of the construction schedule. By eliminating the presence of hardwood floors from the construction site as other trades perform their work, one can imagine the multitude of potential difficulties that are avoided. |
