Designing Long-Span CLT Floors: Why Under-Floor Insulation Matters for Soundproofing
The ARC Advance Timber Hub is pleased to highlight a recent blog article from our industry partner, Rothoblaas. This article aligns with the Hub’s Research Node on Performance of Building Components and directly relates to Project Innovative Long-Span Timber and Wood-Based Hybrid Floors for Vibration Performance and Acoustic Compliance, led by Griffith University. The project investigates how different fastening configurations and resilient under-floor insulation (soundproofing) solutions interact to influence vibration behaviour and acoustic comfort in CLT floors.
The ARC Advance Timber Hub is proud to lead this work, supporting the growth of Australia’s timber construction sector through high-quality, applied research.
