AIM Floor Units

Flooring grade T&G P5 chipboard - bonded to AIM insulation slab.

Choice of Insulation -

LAMELLA (LAM)
Lamellas are made from high density rock wool slab, which is cut into blocks and rotated through 90 degrees before being bonded to the P5 chipboard facing.
Lamella rock wool is incombustible and is especially suitable for acoustic applications. Lamella floor units have been acoustically tested (test report is available on request).

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.

Introduction

AIM Floor Units are manufactured from tongue & groove flooring grade chipboard bonded to insulation. The Units provide an integrated fully floating floor with resilient layer. The P5 chipboard is installed with all T&G joints tightly glued, but with no direct contact with the sub floor, and this forms the floating layer. The insulation provides the resilient layer, offering thermal resistance, acoustic damping and absorption together with resistance to compression from downward loading.

Application

AIM Floor Units provide thermally and acoustically insulated moisture resistant chipboard floor finish. The 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 Floor Units are installed over a structural floor for new build or conversions.

Acoustic

Lamella Floor Units provide airborne and impact sound reduction to help meet the Building Regulations - contact AIM for further details.

Fire Rated Timber Floor

Where a one hour fire rating is required for a timber joist floor, the AIM FireFloor System 2 may be used to achieve this. This system is applied from above joist and does not require a fire rated ceiling. See data sheet - "AIM Fire Floor System 2".
