Areas of structural floor beneath each intended cradle position should be smooth, flat and level to facilitate ease of the batten installation. Acoustic Cradle system enables a concrete floor to meet the sound transmission standards of Approved Document E 2003 and subsequent amendments. Storage heaters are considered to be an extraordinary loading and will require support direct from the sub-floor, independent of the flooring system. BS 8201:2011 states that “it is reasonable to recommend that the concrete be considered dry when the relative humidity falls to 75% or less (when tested by use of a hygrometer).The standard 8mm Resilient Cradle Support will not allow for services to run underneath the Support Batten. Set out the Cradles and Support Battens around the perimeter of the room so that the Support Battens are approximately 50mm from perimeter walls. In areas where heavy loadings are anticipated, such as kitchens and bathrooms the Support Batten centres should be reduced to 300mm. Treated floor meets with the New Build Robust Detail descriptive FFT2, typically within Robust Details E-FC-1, E-FS-1, E-FC-2 and E-FC-7.
Our shims are available as square shims, horseshoe shims and rectangular shims. These can be used for various applications. Horseshoe shims can be used when installing glass, spacing and aligning tiles whilst other shim types can be used for squaring up cabinets, adjusting floorboards, levelling wobbly toilets and much more. Lightweight timber or metal stud partitions with plasterboard linings may be constructed from the floating floor by forming a ladder frame structure. Excessive moisture from cast in-situ slabs and screeds which have not dried out can have adverse effects on flooring materials and timber components. The Cradle Plate is designed to accept support Battens running in both directions where necessary to provide secure support for access panels.Ensure that there is an expansion gap of at least 6mm between the edges of the flooring and at the perimeter walls.
