Auralex U-Boat Floor Floater (50 Pack)

Auralex UBFF U-Boats are among the industry s most affordable solutions for floating floor installations. Made of a specially-formulated rubber U-shaped channel, U-Boats are used to support framing members and isolate them from the surrounding structure. With the help of U-Boats, a floated room features improved transmission loss (isolation) and low frequency definition. It s easy to figure how many U-Boats to underlay: just multiply the total square footage of the area you want to float by two thirds; the resulting number gives you the approximate amount of U-Boats you ll need. U-Boats are the industry s most affordable floating solution and are much easier to use than those exorbitant pucks that have been used in the past. To get the biggest benefit from U-Boats, install your joists 12 o.c. instead of 16 o.c. & use a U-Boat every 12 or so.
