FIC
Wood Acoustic Floor
An acoustic airspace is formed by adhering pre-spaced KIP isolation pads to steel channel. This isolated framing platform is a base for lightweight noise control construction using a plywood composite.

Installation Overview
-
RESILIENT INTERFACE
Adhere resilient interface (SRP by KNC) to all penetrations and perimeters. SRP prevents sound vibration from transferring from the isolated slab to the non-isolated structure.
-
POSITION CHANNEL
Place Channel runs per shop drawings.
-
TRIM CHANNEL
Trim ends of and adhere pads as necessary to maintain 4" maximum cantilever. Add optional fiberglass batting between channel.
-
INSTALL PLYWOOD
Minimum of two layers, staggered and cross lapped.
-
INSTALL FINISH FLOORING
Follow flooring manufacturer’s installation instructions.
-
FINISH PERIMETER
Trim SRP and seal perimeter gap.
- Channels stack tightly and are portable on a jobsite
- Pad and channel spacing can be customized for specific acoustic and/or load requirements
- Can be mechanically fastened to rooftops while maintaining isolation
- Can be used with or without noise absorptive batt
For added acoustic performance and load distribution, consider FIC-C which substitutes the wood composite for concrete.
