Acoustic Floor Isolation System
FIC Floating Isolation Channel is a building acoustics floor solution engineered to form an acoustic airspace by adhering pre-spaced KIP isolation pads to steel channel. This isolated framing platform helps separate the finished floor build-up from the supporting structure, supporting effective sound and impact noise control in commercial, residential, mixed-use, hospitality, and specialist acoustic environments.
FIC Concrete Configuration
For concrete acoustic floor applications, FIC provides an isolated framing platform that can be used as a base for metal decking as formwork for concrete, or to directly attach concrete structural panels. This makes FIC suitable for projects requiring mass, airspace, and resilient isolation within floating concrete floor assemblies. Kinetics references FIC with Concrete for loud airborne noise with heavy impacts, including rooftops and helipad-related applications.
FIC Wood Configuration
For lightweight noise control construction, FIC Wood uses the same pre-spaced KIP isolation pad and steel channel concept as a base for plywood composite floor build-ups. Kinetics references FIC with Wood for loud airborne noise and moderate impacts, including dance floors and residential applications.
Project Value for UAE, GCC, and MENA Developments
FIC is a practical acoustic floating floor option for buildings where consultants and contractors need to address airborne noise, impact noise, and floor vibration transfer through engineered acoustic separation. It is well suited for coordinated architectural, acoustic, and MEP project requirements where floor build-up, acoustic performance, installation detailing, and long-term reliability must be considered together.
