First Ever Non-Combustible Residential Acoustic Floor capable of dealing with voids from 19.5mm to 1400mm. Ideal for residential schemes where low embodied carbon systems are required
Suitable for residential living areas where there is a requirement to reduce any acoustic sound transmissions
The AFD SilentStep® System is a residential acoustic hollow floor system designed to reduce airborne and impact sound transmissions whilst providing a solid-like feel floor.
A low embodied carbon system that can accept finishes directly, and is quicker to install than traditional cradle and batten. SilentStep® can easily overcome an uneven subfloor or when there is a higher void requirement.
