CDM-LAT Battens are designed to optimise sound insulation and impact isolation of floor constructions. They are used in both wet and dry floating floor constructions and achieve resonant frequencies of 6 to 10Hz.

CDM-LAT battens come in 3m lengths, have three standard stiffnesses, each in three different thicknesses (30, 40 and 50mm). The three different stiffness rails in increasing stiffness are:
CDM-LAT-L
CDM-LAT-M
CDM-LAT-H

Information required by CDM to carry out the design of the CDM-LAT floating floor system:
1 Type of floating floor, eg. concrete or timber etc…
2 Imposed dead and live loads on the floor
3 Performance requirements, eg. natural frequency or sound insulation criteria

Installation Guidelines
1 Install CDM Perimeter Isolation Strips around the perimeter of the floating floor to de-couple the floating floor from the adjacent structure
2 Install the CDM-LAT rails according to CDM’s design
3 Lay low density mineral fibre between the CDM-LAT rails (the thickness of the mineral fibre sound absorption must be less than the deflected void under the floating floor)
4 Screw in formwork panels into the CDM-LAT rails
5 Follow any other site specific installation requirements given by CDM
