Resilient materials are commonly placed on top of a hard floor surface to reduce impact sound transmission to rooms below. Examples of such are carpets and vinyl or cork flooring. A raft of material, such as a wood or concrete slab, may also be placed on top of a resilient layer to form a ?floating? floor. All of these systems may be referred to collectively as floor toppings. The same floor topping in combination with different base floors provides quite different impact sound insulation ratings, partly because the base floors give different sound insulation and partly because of different interactions with the base floor. Thus it is often impossible to select the most effective floor topping from several that have been tested on different...
