U-Boat Floor Floaters
Made of long-lasting
EPDM rubber, Auralex U-Boat Floor Floaters are our proprietary U-shaped
channels used to support framing members and float (isolate and decouple)
them from the surrounding structure. With the help of U-Boats, a floated
room features greatly improved isolation and low-frequency definition
(translated: a tight, floated room will always sound better!). Auralex
U-Boats are the industry's most affordable floating solution and are much
easier to use than those exorbitant "pucks" that have been used
in the past.
U-Boats
are molded to fit around the edge of any 2 by X joist. To figure out approximately
how many U-Boats you'll need, just multiply the total square footage of
the area you want to float by two-thirds. The resulting number gives you
the approximate amount of U-Boats required, spaced 16" apart. This
formula covers the majority of standard applications.
Size: 2-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" high x 2" long
Thickness: sides=5/16" and base=1/2"
