Floor assemblies for multifamily projects are typically required by International Building Code ( IBC ) Chapter 12 to meet minimum sound ratings of sound transmission class (STC) 50 and impact insulation class (IIC) 50. It is relatively common for building owners to ask for their floor assemblies to be designed to exceed these code minimums.

En route to answering these questions, one must first consider the traditional approach to acoustics, which relies on ‘categorization’ and ‘acceptable-level’ schemes prevalent throughout building standards and codes.

ASTM defines single-number metrics for testing of airborne sound transmission class (STC) and impact isolation class (IIC). The impact measurement method for IIC uses a calibrated tapping machine as the sound source. The impact measurement method for IIC uses a calibrated tapping machine as the sound source.

Impact isolation class (IIC) rating: 33. If T-SLABs with thicker dimensions are chosen for a given project, the transmission ratings shown here would be even higher. Sound test results: Slab thickness: 305 mm (12 in.). Slab weight: 50 kg (109.5 Sound transmission class (STC) rating: 64. Fire rating.
