Marine Floating Floor Selector

Enter the fire class your specification names, the airborne insulation you are asked to reach and the areal weight your naval architect will allow. The selector reads the four build-ups against those three constraints and tells you which ones qualify, which fail and by how much.

Selection inputs

Fire integrity class required A-60 build-ups also satisfy an A-0 requirement.

Minimum airborne Rw (dB) Laboratory weighted sound reduction index of the assembled build-up.

Maximum areal weight (kg/m²) Leave the weight budget generous if it is not yet fixed.

Areal weight you specify today (kg/m²) Optional. The system you are replacing, for a weight saving figure.

Set your three constraints and press Match systems.

What the selector does not decide

Cabin noise level

Rw describes the airborne performance of the build-up as tested in a laboratory. It is not a cabin noise level. The level a space reaches also depends on compartment layout, machinery isolation and ventilation terminals, none of which a floor supplier certifies.

Build-up height

Only YB-A60FIII-1 has a fixed total build-up thickness, 71.5 mm. The other three are built to the layer selection made for your deck, so headroom has to be settled on the layer drawing rather than read off a table.
