Stravifloor Channel

Isolated Channel System

Stravifloor Channel* is an isolated steel batten system for the support of concrete but mainly lightweight, panelized floating floors applications, using strong, galvanized steel channels over the isolation pads.

This system improves the structural stability of the floating floor and provides lower differential deflection resulting from liveload or concentrated loads. It also allows for larger isolation pad spacing, which reduces material and installation costs, and increses acoustical performance through optimization of pad loading and fewer contact points (transmission paths) to the subfloor.

Stravifloor Channel is the ideal choice to maximize noise insulation when an existing structure cannot support a heavyweight floating concrete slab.
