Floor Boom question
Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2004 8:30 am
I have been reading another post on this and had a question
I am building a floating floor on top of an existing floor that is 20mm particle board flooring layed on timber joists on top of pile/posts 1foot above the ground.
The existing floor is really "boommy" when you jump up and down on it as you would expect with the 1foot gap underneath.
My new floor will be 2x4 on there sides on rubberpucks. The cavity will be filled with R1.8 with one layer of 20mm flooring on top and sealed.
I'm not to worried about the isolation but does anyone think I will still have this boom problem because the existing structure is built above the ground?
Thanks
