10.9EFFJI - Floor Joist Isolator

Floor Joist Isolators are perfect for applications that use the “Box in a Box” or “Room in a Room” construction methods, commonly seen when building a professional home theater or recording studio environments. Floor Joist Isolators are a U-shaped isolation product used to create a floating floor system. Floating floors are a key component in constructing high-performance home theaters and residential and professional-grade studio environments. This product will reduce noise from airborne sources, such as voices, TV’s and stereo equipment. Floor Joist Isolators will also reduce noise from structural borne sources, such as footfall and floor mounted monitors. Ultimately, Floor Joist Isolators will improve a flooring assembly’s Sound Transmission Class (STC) and improve a flooring assembly’s Impact Insulation Class (IIC). Although this product will reduce all frequency sound transmission, Floor Joist Isolators decouple flooring from structural supports which provide a reduction of hard to control low frequency sound transmission. Our Floor Joist Isolators are made from medium density thermoplastic originally designed to isolate vibration and structural noise transmission created by large industrial machinery. The Stud Beam Isolators are sized to fit any 2X lumber product, are very easy to install and is best used for new construction when floor joists are exposed.
