STEICOfloor - the installation system for solid floorboards

Thermal insulation, impact sound insulation
and installation system in one

Solid wood floors are the star among floor types. Not only is the look convincing, the naturally grown planks are also ideal for a healthy living environment. STEICOfloor is an installation system for this type of flooring that is as healthy as it is well thought-out. It allows the floating installation of solid wood planks (no gluing necessary) on any type of unfinished floor - from mineral to flat wood subfloors.

The STEICOfloor insulation system can do more than just insulate: it enables the installation of floorboards without impact sound bridges. The planks are fixed in the integrated installation strip, which is fixed by the stable insulation boards. Since there is no direct contact between the installation strip and the subfloor, there is acoustic decoupling.

The STEICOfloor system consists of pressure-resistant insulation boards into whose tongue and groove system installation strips are inserted. The floorboards are then screwed into the installation strips.

The installation strip has no direct contact with the unfinished floor. This effectively decouples direct sound transmission.

The STEICOsoundstrip edge insulation strip is used for sound decoupling from rising structural components such as walls. If required, the STEICOmulti membra 5 vapour control membrane is laid underneath as moisture protection.

Installation on the wall side begins with a board cut in half lengthwise. Recesses, e.g. for heating pipes, can be easily worked into the insulation boards.

STEICOfloor insulation boards can be easily cut to size with a hand saw. But circular or jigsaws can also be used.

The laying system allows rapid work progress

The floorboards are screwed together invisibly

Finally, the STEICOsoundstrip edge insulation strip is cut flush. The floorboard is finished.

STEICOfloor – step by step

Secure fastening of floorboards

The STEICOfloor system consists of two components: pressure-resistant STEICO wood fibre insulation boards and a laying strip made of STEICO LVL laminated veneer lumber. The planks are invisibly screwed into the installation strip via the tongue of the floorboards. The entire floorboard rests fully floating on the pressure-resistant insulation boards.

Optimum sound decoupling

The installation strip is supported on both sides by the stable STEICOfloor insulation boards and has no direct contact with the subfloor. This effectively and permanently interrupts direct sound transmission

Impact sound and thermal insulation combined

With 40 and 60 mm insulation thickness, the STEICOfloor system provides effective impact sound insulation and at the same time offers efficient thermal insulation – for a pleasant walking experience even on cold days.
