FLOOR CRADLES
Recycled Rubber, Floor Leveling System
​
Our unique, patented, rubber crumb cradles and base packers are manufactured from quality recycled rubber tires. Together with cradle packers, timber battens overlaid with chipboard, plywood, or a hardwood, they form the prime component in creating high performance acoustic and sports floors which can accommodate a variety of floor coverings.
​
Widely used in refurbishment, conversions and new build projects, these versatile and environmentally friendly acoustic cradles can provide an extensive range of finished floor heights. These include raised floors to accommodate underfloor services and acoustic floors offering extremely high standards of acoustic performance. They also provide accurate and rapid on-site leveling to eliminate any unevenness in the structural floor surface.
FLOOR Cradles provide an excellent solution for reducing impact and airborne sound as it is made using recycled rubber crumb granules, this gives a high-quality long-lasting performance providing significant noise reduction and exceptional support to all floor coverings.
​
The rubber crumb cradles can be installed quickly and avoid the need for levelling screed with extensive drying times. FLOOR Cradles facilitate easy levelling of uneven sub-floors by placing combinations of 2mm and 5mm cradle packers beneath the battens within the cradle legs. Using the cradle packers, it is possible to level to within 5mm of the top of the cradle leg, i.e., 35mm within a 40mm leg cradle and 20mm within a 25mm leg cradle. If additional levelling is required, then this can be achieved with the use of base packers (10mm and/or 30mm).
