Park Bearer

Acoustic Floor Bearer for Soundproofing Concrete Floors

Park bearers are designed for use on level concrete and steel/concrete composite separating floors as part of a suitable floor and ceiling construction.

Timber floating floors incorporating Park Bearers can provide effective sound insulation on concrete subfloors and eliminate the delays caused by the drying out of screeds.

The cavity created by acoustic bearers can accommodate service runs and underfloor heating systems under the floor.

  • Effective impact and airborne sound reduction for separating floors
  • Creates a void for services under the floor
  • Proven FFT accreditation for Robust Details and Scottish Example Constructions
  • Eliminates the delays caused by screeds
  • Use sustainable homegrown UK timber
  • Suitable for both new build and refurbishment

Park bearers consist of softwood timber battens 2400mm long by 45mm wide* with a specially developed 9mm thick resilient foam strip adhered to the underside.

Standard Heights** ( unloaded ) : 54mm , 79mm ( Nom.)

For FFT1 requirements use a 79mm Park Bearer Acoustic Battens.
For FFT3 requirements use a 54mm Park Bearer Acoustic Battens or higher.

Notes :
* Park Bearers comply with the WPIF Code of Practice for Particle Board and OSB Floating Floors (3/2018) which specifies a minimum finished batten width of 45mm.
** It is anticipated that the resilient layer will compress by around 2mm under a UDL of 25kg/m2.

Park Bearer Performance Table

Note :
*1 – In Northern Ireland the England and Wales Robust Detail constructions are accepted as an alternative to pre-completion sound testing to demonstrate compliance with Part G (NI) for new dwellings.

L-Shaped Flanking Strip for perimeter isolation.

  • Thickness: 6mm Length: 1.8m

Acoustic quilt (as required).

  • Laid between bearers for enhanced sound reduction.

Flooring Boards

  • Smartspan (for use with underfloor heating )
  • P5 flooring grade chipboard
  • Engineered Spruce flooring grade plywood
