Services
Underlayment Installation
We install Maxxon cement-based underlayments that create smooth, durable surfaces for finished flooring. Our systems provide sound control, fire resistance, and structural reinforcement while meeting specific psi requirements from 2,000 to 7,000. Applications include multifamily housing, commercial buildings, and renovation projects requiring code-compliant flooring systems.
Sound Control Mats
Our Acousti-Mat product line reduces impact noise and airborne sound transmission between floors. Available in thicknesses from 1/8" to 3/4", these mats improve IIC and STC ratings in wood frame and concrete constructions. Premium options feature acoustical fabric layers for enhanced performance in high-end multifamily developments.
Radiant Floor Heating
We specialize in radiant heating installations using Gyp-Crete Radiant underlayment that evenly distributes heat from embedded tubing. This system provides energy-efficient thermal regulation while maintaining structural integrity. Ideal for residential and commercial applications requiring comfortable, even-temperature flooring surfaces.
Concrete Floor Prep
Our concrete preparation services address challenges like asbestos tile encapsulation and contamination control. We use specialized treatments to profile surfaces without destructive methods, ensuring proper adhesion for underlayment applications while maintaining workplace safety and regulatory compliance.
Deep Fill Solutions
For significant subfloor irregularities, we provide lightweight Deep Fill underlayment that reduces structural load while achieving required elevations. This proprietary cement-aggregate mix offers strength-to-weight advantages for commercial renovations and large-scale projects requiring substantial leveling without compromising structural integrity.
