Acoustic Cradle

Monarfloor® Acoustic Cradle system is designed to reduce sound transmission through concrete floors or existing timber floors in situations where the subfloor is uneven or has a camber.

Monarfloor Acoustic Cradle consists of a layer of LRAC foam bonded to an injection moulded plastic cradle.

When installed as part of a complete sound reduction system it enables a concrete or timber floor to meet the sound transmission regulations of Part E.
