Fire and Acoustic Flooring
Can be tiled directly without the need for underlay
Fire & Acoustic Flooring Systems
James Hardie has developed an acoustic floating floor system using timber joists or concrete floor that is suitable for use as an intertenancy floor.
Secura™ Flooring Fire & Acoustic flooring systems are a mid-floor solution, engineered to address the complete range of fire and acoustic performance needs in a multi-storey, inter-tenancy floor dwelling.
The system delivers high value acoustic performance in multilevel residential building above code requirements in both Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Impact Insulation Class (IIC).
The James Hardie acoustic floor system has been tested and verified to achieve STC up to 67 and IIC 57, exceeding the minimum requirements of Clause 6 of the NZBC. The acoustic performance of this system has been verified through independent testing at Auckland University and fire performance has been tested and assessed by BRANZ.
