Float floor on expanded polyester?

Hi, I'm new here. Just stared to bulid up a studio in my basement. I have one little question (I've tried to find the answere here but havn't) Because of the limited hight of my rooms I plan to use expanded polyester direct on the concrete and bulid the floor up on that. Will this give me a sufficient floating floor??? Regards Gunnar www.h-musikk.no/english.htm

Hi, Sorry, but I can't find anything about expanded polyester in the treads you pointed me to (or maybe your caling it something else in thre US?) The expanded polyester I plan to use is about 2" (5 cm)

Gunnar - The point of the links I gave you had to do with the logic of building a flaoting floor if you aren't doing it out of concrete. Read through them. Rod

Greetings Also importantly read this thread http://www.recording.org/ftopict-28211.html It's very unlikley you'll need a floating floor. If you do, then it's important to do it properly!!! Paul
