Modern subfloors can be constructed in a wide range of materials, from concrete and plywood to timber and chipboard. Each presents its own challenges when it comes to securing the selected flooring, but you can rest assured that each has a simple and effective solution at VidaSpace with our Marldon range of accessories. We have produced a simple guide to outline suggested solutions.
Example: Fitting a timber floor over an anhydrite screed (without underfloor heating)
Whether you want peace and quiet between floors, or are protecting confidential conversations from prying ears, the acoustic treatment of floors can make a huge difference to the way sound travels.
The revolutionary Marldon StrataBase system is a complete floor build-up achieving up to 49dB sound reduction, resulting in a low-profile solution, and is compatible with underfloor heating. The system provides vital acoustic damping under a wide range of hard floor finishes without adding significantly to the overall thickness of the floor covering.
Example 1: Fitting a timber floor over Strata sound reducing underlay over a concrete subfloor
Example 2: Fitting a timber floor over Strata sound reducing underlay over underfloor heating
Marldon damp-proof membrane (DPM) solutions can be laid as soon as 14 days after concrete has been poured, shaving weeks off the build schedule whilst still providing complete protection for timber and other flooring.
Example: Fitting a timber floor over a damp concrete subfloor
