SOUND ABSORPTION PROPERTIES

Impact Insulation Class (IIC) This method is to measure the impact sound transmission performance of a floor-ceiling assembly (sound transmission through the floor)

IIC – Flooring – Sub-Floor

70 – Laminate/Engineered – 6" concrete with ceiling assembly

59 – Hardwood – 6" concrete with ceiling assembly

Sound Transmission Class (STC) This method is to measure the air-borne sound insolating property of a partition element for effectiveness in blocking sound

STC – Flooring – Sub-Floor

71 – Laminate/Engineered – 6" concrete with ceiling assembly

53 – Hardwood – 6" concrete with ceiling assembly

Delta IIC The db rating difference between a floor measured with an underlayment and with no underlayment
