Made from high quality EPDM rubber - perfectly sized to fit standard 2" thick joists.
Highly effective isolator and decouple floor joists from the subflooring, support floor framing members, to lessen the sound waves passing from one side of the structure to the other.
EASY INSTALLATION - simply snap onto the joist and should NOT be glued, nailed, or screwed into the wood.
The clips should be installed on a subfloor or in the case of renovation on an existing floor at both ends of every joist and additional clips should be spread out every 16" along the joist.
Ideal for, home theaters, sound studios, recording booth, Gym and control booths
Made in the USA.
EPDM Rubber U-Boat Floor Floaters (otherwise known as Damping Shoes or C-Channel Suspension Isolators) support and acoustically isolate floor framing members, i.e joists, to lessen the sound waves passing from one side of the structure to the other. The U-Boats are extruded from EPDM Rubber that is formulated to reduce or eliminate vibrations. Dimensions / Specifics: U-Boats are shaped to accommodate standard joist dimensions, and molded to fit around the edge of any 2 by X joist. Width: 1.5” (38.1mm) Height: 2.125” (54.0mm) Length: 2” (50.08mm) Thickness: Sides- .313” (7.9mm); Base- .5” (12.7mm) Color: Black High Quality: Made in the HSA What is EPDM? EPDM Rubber (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer) is comparable to Neoprene Rubber, however it surpasses it in performance and is a more eco-friendly option. Specifically, it has outstanding resistance to abrasion, hydraulic fluids, alkalis, heat, ozone, and weather. How Many Do I Need? If Joist Spacing is 24” OC, U Boats should be installed at a minimum of 16” OC along the joist and should not exceed 24” OC. If Joist Spacing is between 12” and 16” OC, U Boats should be installed at a minimum of 16” OC along the joist and should not exceed 32” OC. TIP: If Joist Spacing is 16” OC with U Boats installed at 16” OC on joist, multiply the total square footage of your room by 2/3 to calculate approximate U Boats needed.
