Lamella
Lamellas are made from high density rock fibre slab, which is cut into blocks and rotated through 90 degrees before being bonded to the P5 chipboard facing. Lamella rock fibre is incombustible and is especially suitable for acoustic applications.
Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)
Small closed cell extruded polystyrene for optimum insulation, high compressive strength and resistance to moisture.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
Versatile expanded polystyrene for optimum value and light weight, available in EPS100 (was HDN) for normal traffic areas or EPS70 (was SDN) for light traffic areas.
Compression Resistant Rockfibre
High density acoustic grade resilient rock fibre insulation slab.
Application
AIM Floor Units are simple to install and will take up minor imperfections in the surface on which they are to be laid. AIM Floor Units provide excellent thermal insulation and are suitable for both suspended floors and for ground floors. They can be installed quickly and easily, with no need to raise existing floors, and offer minimum disruption to other trades or to the existing structure. The FloorUnits are installed over a structural floor for new build or conversions.
Acoustic
AIM Floor Units utilising lamella or compression resistant rockfibre provide excellent airborne and impact sound reduction to help meet the Building Regulations. In this case the units should be isolated from the walls so that they have no direct contact by utilising AIMcoustic PE Isolation strip around the perimeter of the floor. The T&G joints should be tightly glued.'
