Isocheck Adjustable Acoustic Cradle System

Suspended system for uneven concrete floors with precise levelling capabilities

The Isocheck Adjustable Acoustic Cradle system is designed to reduce sound transmission through concrete floors. The Adjustable Cradle comprises an injection moulded recycled plastic adjustable thread and supporting ring to ensure precise levelling across uneven concrete sub-floors without the need for conventional packers. Additional elevating blocks are available for applications where extra height is required.

The Cradle is New Build Robust Detail compliant for masonry floor construction and where the structural sub floor has a camber or is irregular and needs levelling.

  • Applications: New build, conversions, in conjunction with underfloor heating systems, adjustable support for flat roof terraces
  • Adjustable Design: Injection moulded recycled plastic adjustable thread with supporting ring
  • Height Range: Minimum raise 20mm, maximum raise 56mm (without additional elevating blocks)
  • Robust Detail Compliant: Meets New Build Robust Detail descriptive FFT2
