Dura-Cap® and Acousti-Mat® II

Location:
Student Housing for the Church of Scientology
Gillman Springs, CA

Scope:

10,000 sq. ft. of Dura-Cap®, Acousti-Mat® II installed on second floor corridors.

Maxxon Dealer:

Maxim Floor Systems

General Contractor:
Beers Construction

Overview: The original specification called for 3/4" Gyp-Crete® on the first and second floor rooms and corridors. Upon inspection, the floors had lots of areas that had been cut out and replaced with plywood at various thicknesses, so a pour greater than 3/4" was needed. Maxim Floors recommended Moistop and metal lath to the contractor. He explained that Maxim Floors could install the Moistop and metal lath on the first and second floor areas, preventing leaks from all the cut-outs and saving the contractor the time that would be required to patch all the plywood. Because of the end use of the project, Maxim also suggested Dura-Cap® for a higher strength floor.

All the rooms were poured from 3/4" to 1 1/4" with Dura-Cap. The first floor corridors received 3/4" Dura-Cap, and the second floor corridors received 1" Dura-Cap over Acousti-Mat® II.
