Granab subfloor systems provide many benefits: Granab subfloor systems are constructed with non-deformable floor girders of galvanised steel and an effective sound-dampening resilient system.

The subfloor system is secured to the subflooring with screws and set at the desired height. Surface flooring of either parquet, chipboard and parquet, or carpet is laid over the subfloor system. The Granab system contributes to improving the quality and environmental friendliness of homes, schools and public buildings.

Effective impact sound dampening and airborne sound insulation for alternative sound classes.

System 7000

Granab Subfloor Systems More than 4,000,000 m2 of Granab's patented and type-approved subfloor systems have been installed in homes, offices, schools, shops and public buildings. Granab systems are type-approved, and tested and certified by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden with respect to sound-dampening properties, dynamic loads, durability and comfort properties. Granab systems are tested annually in various projects with respect to sound insulation and deflection properties, and an extensive technology bank with test documentation is available our customers.

Shape permanence Granab systems are designed with non-deformable galvanised steel girders. They retain their shape and are not affected by humidity or temperature variations.

Other composite parts in the systems are also made of non-organic materials that do not absorb moisture. Granab systems – with guaranteed shape permanence – eliminate. for example, the risk of creaking or sag due to the effects of drying and moisture on girders, which is the case with girders made of organic materials such as wood.

Sound insulation Granab systems provide very effective impact and airborne sound insulation. Granab systems have been tested and type-proved for their sound-insulation properties by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden. Granab systems have also been tested in a large number of completed residential projects with respect to impact and airborne sound insulation for sound class B, as well as sound class A in certain projects.

Comfort In a good living and working environment, it is important that floors are not hard or entirely rigid, which can cause pain in the back and legs. Granab systems, with their integrated impact-dampening effect, provide comfortable floors with documented deflection properties for point loads.

Installation An installed floor's quality is dependent both on the choice of floor covering, and that the Granab system and the flooring covering are correctly installed. Granab has detailed installation instructions for the Granab systems in a separate pamphlet along with checklists for installation. Installation of flooring over a Granab system must be carried out in accordance with the flooring manufacturers' instructions. Laminated wooden floors must always be laid under controlled forms in compliance with the range of temperatures and relative humidity percentages stipulated by the respective manufacturers and suppliers of the flooring material.

Subfloors Hollow core slabs: Granab systems are commonly installed on hollow core slabs when the objective is to attain sound class A or B without additional topping (for more information, see pages 20–27).

In situ cast subfloors: With Granab systems, subflooring can be cast thinner. A cast subflooring of approximately 300 mm can be reduced to approximately 200 mm, when structural factors permit, with retained or improved sound insulation. This produces a lighter overall construction and improved overall economy. Flexible line routing in the space between the subfloor and floor covering also facilitates future renovations.

Wooden subfloors: Granab systems are installed directly on wooden subfloors so as to achieve improved impact and airborne sound insulation for the overall construction. Granab systems are, for example, widely used in attic conversions.

Planning and installation drawings Granab prepares plans and installation drawings for each room or building unit with detailed dimensions and locations of all included girders. See the examples on pages 14 – 15. The girders are cut according to the installation plans and all included adjustment units, including dampening elements, are pre-fitted at the factory. This ensures that all girders receive the right support without deviations.

Planning instructions for for various load conditions, Granab Subfloor Systems 3000 and 7000 Recommended c/c distances between floor girders (sections) and support blocks, Systems 3000/7000: 1. Rooms in dwellings, hotels, hospital rooms and staff rooms, c/c distance, girders (sections), 600 mm.

2. Assembly rooms such as classrooms, rooms in childcare centres, lecture halls, office rooms, premises for restaurants, cafes and dining halls, c/c distance, girders (sections), 400 mm.

3. Open areas in libraries, spaces with fixed seating such as in churches, theatres and cinemas, c/c distance, girders (sections), 400 mm.

4. Spaces without fixed seating in churches, concert halls, theatres, cinemas, museums, exhibition halls, retail areas in department stores and shops, gyms, sports centres, dancehalls, corridors in schools, etc., c/c distance girders (sections), 300 mm.

Load capacity For girder spacing for homes, c/c distance 600 mm = 4 tons/m2 The point load capacity and distributed load of various floor coverings installed on Granab systems are calculated according to the specifications of the respective flooring manufacturers.

Planning instructions for various load conditions, Granab Subfloor Systems 3000 and 7000 The unique design of the Granab systems – with components of non-organic materials, steel girders, dampening elements and adjustment screws in various lengths – permits installation in many different types of projects and entails considerable benefits.

The dampening element, which provides progressive resilience, makes the system an excellent choice for floors in sports centres and other multi-purpose areas, for example.

The specified load capacity, 4 tons/m2 at c/c 600, can be significantly improved with tighter c/c spacing of both girders and adjustment units.

Tested and certified by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden 2. Load testing, a separate support block/level adjustment screw

1. Deflection properties

10

12

See information on pages 18 – 19 Load testing of the support block was conducted by placing the support block with an adjustment screw between two steel sheets and applying a load using a hydraulic press. Force and deformation were registered. During testing, only 10 mm of the adjustment screw was threaded into the support block.

3. Deflection testing, section with spliced sheet (without dampening pad)

10

The deflection test was conducted by placing a steel rail in a hydraulic presswith two support blocks fitted at a c/cdistance of 600 mm. A point load was thereafter applied on the steel rail between the support blocks. Force and deformation were registered.

4. Fatigue testing of installed Granab floor construction

12

Fatigue testing was conducted over a support block by applying a pulsating load of between 0.1 Fk and 0.6 Fk 10,000 times at a frequency of 1 Hz. Fk was the characteristic value from support block load testing. A total of two fatigue tests were conducted over the support blocks at the outer corners of the test floor. The load was pulsated between 0.1 and 0.6 Fk with Fk set at 8.5 kN. Both load tests were conducted without any lasting deformations or damages.

Planning, logistics efficiency Interior walls for finished Granab subfloors Walls for flats or other subdivisions are first erected from floor to ceiling. It is advisable to erect interior walls within a flat or subdivision on finished Granab subflooring, including the chipboard.

Erection of interior walls in this manner permits the chipboard to be installed quicker and entails less waste in that one is working with larger, continuous floor surfaces. Material consumption for the interior walls is lower and installation of both the Granab floor and interior walls goes significantly faster.

Intra-transport in conjunction with framework construction Because Granab systems consist of non-organic materials and are not affected by moisture or temperature variations, they can be delivered while the framework is still under construction. Granab girders can be produced with a maximum length of 2600 mm – the same length as for a bundle of plasterboard. The plasterboard for the walls can be moved in along with the wall girders, which are placed on stands above the Granab girder packages.

By lifting the materials into place during framework construction and erecting the interior walls above the Granab system, workflow is more efficient and costs for logistics are minimised.

Girders are pre-cut to the correct lengths according to the drawing for each room unit.

17

Pleasant, comfort-adapted floors with Granab systems for a better working and living environment In a good living and working environment, it is important that floors are not hard or entirely rigid, which can lead to pain in the shoulders, back and legs. Granab systems, with their integrated impact-dampening effect, provide comfortable floors with documented degree of deflection for point loads.

Deflection during application of point loads on floors laid on a Granab system is dependent on – besides the subfloor construction and c/c distance between the girders – the choice of floor covering and how installation is performed.

The respective flooring manufacturers provide information about deflection for each type of floor covering.

Deflection of the finished floor construction with a point load of 1 kN should not exceed 2 – 3 mm according to the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden.

Testing and certification are conducted by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden. Contact Granab about full type-approval no. 192101.

Granab systems with 22-mm chipboard and both 15mm or 22-mm parquet have been tested in a number of residential projects by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden with respect to deflection of the completed floors. The results show an average deflection within 2 mm of other measurement points in each flat with a point load of 1 kN. Documentation from measurements conducted by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden with alternative floor coverings from a large number of field measurements in completed residential projects can be provided by Granab upon request, as well as figures from lab measurements conducted by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden and measurements from a large number of assembled test floors in Granab's testing facility with alternative floor coverings.

All measurement results are within the margins for recommended values.

Testing methodology for deflection of completed floors Non-deformable Because Granab systems are non-deformable and constructed entirely of non-organic materials, there will be no problems with sagging or creaking that can occur in conjunction with drying or creep of floor joists made of wood, for example, or other organic materials.

Floor coverings The choice of floor covering is an important factor for the final comfort of a completed floor. Point-load deflection for Granab systems is in compliance with the applicable standards and recommendations. For the entire finished floor construction (including the floor covering) to attain the expected comfort – besides the choice of floor covering laid over the Granab system – it is important that the both the Granab system and floor covering are installed by trained installers and floor-layers, and that the installation instructions and checklists are carefully followed.

Testing methodology for deflection of completed floors The SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden has developed a measurement method and device with digital deformation sensors for reliably and easily measuring deflection of completed floors. Please contact Granab for information about the measurement device and instructions for use.

Information to residents Granab systems provide pleasant and comfort-adapted floors for improved living and working environments.

Floor constructions with parquet or other floor coverings on girders entail less elastic deflection in the floor layer when point loads are applied.

In certain cases, residents who are accustomed to entirely rigid flooring on concrete subfloors may have questions about the floor construction and the new floors.

Granab can provide separate information sheets for answering these questions.

Impact and airborne sound insulation Impact and airborne sound insulation in homes and offices Granab systems provide effective impact and airborne sound insulation. Effective insulation against sound from surrounding spaces is important for a good living and working environment. Investigations show that in older structures, residents are often disturbed by impact sounds, loud music, slamming doors and staircase traffic, as well as noise from running water, lifts, ventilation and traffic. A good sound environment has become a prioritised requirement when building new homes, and there are also more stringent requirements for quieter working environments in offices and schools.

Sound classification standards stipulate acoustic requirements for homes and other premises The Swedish Board of Building, Planning and Housing (BBR) has established a generally formulated requirement for acoustic environments, calling for buildings being designed so that residents and other occupants are effectively protected against noise. In a general recommendation, BBR mentions sound class C in the SIS standards SS 25267 (dwellings) and SS 25268 (other premises), where detailed requirements and verification methods are described. The recommendation also states that “if better sound conditions are preferred, sound class A or B can be selected.” In practice, dwellings are usually planned for sound class B to fulfil customers' wishes. The standards place special requirements on sound insulation for low frequencies, due to these frequencies having been found to be especially important for the subjectively perceived sound environment.

Appendix B in SS 25267 provides guidance on how floor constructions can be chosen so that impact sound requirements are fulfilled, and how one can calculate which sound class will be achieved with a certain combination of subflooring and floor construction. In buildings with Granab's sound-dampening subfloor systems, significantly improved sound insulation of subflooring is achieved (even at low frequencies) in comparison with conventional, thin floor coverings. Installations run freely under a Granab floor do not produce structure-borne sound because they are not attached to the framework.

Documentation of Granab systems' sound-insulating properties Granab systems have been developed in close collaboration with researchers and acoustic consultants in the building industry to satisfy highly placed demands on impact and airborne sound insulation in homes, offices and schools. Granab systems function as supplementary insulation for building frameworks both in new construction and remodelling projects. The impact and sound insulating function of the systems has been carefully documented in accordance with the requirements of SS 25267 through, for example, lab measurements and a large number of field measurements in completed buildings. In this way, values for sound dampening could be established, permitting sound insulation in buildings to be verified with calculations as specified in SS 25267. Calculation of sound insulation in completed buildings shall be conducted according to the Swedish and European standard SS-EN 12354, Parts 1 and 2 with input data from Granab.

Input data for concrete subfloors is in the BASTIAN database, as well as at www.byggamedprefaf.se and www.betongbanken.com. For lightweight subfloors, such as wooden subfloors, contact Granab.

A number of examples of acoustic measurements in the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden's impact-sound lab, as well as vertically between flats with Granab subfloor systems installed on hollow-core slabs HD/F 120/19 and HD/F 120/27 in buildings, are presented on pages 22–27.

Sound class description, dwellings, according to SS 25267

Sound class A:

The sound class corresponds to very good acoustic conditions.

Sound class B:

The sound class corresponds to significantly better acoustic conditions than sound class C. This sound class should be applied when a good living environment is requested.

Sound class C:

The sound class provides satisfactory acoustic conditions for a majority of residents and can be applied as a minimum requirement according to the Swedish Board of Building, Planning and Housing's directives.

Remarks:

The function requirements in this standard are adapted to the respective sound classes on the basis of extensive practical experience of subjectively perceived acoustic environments in dwellings. It should be noted, however, that building constructions – for both practical and financial reasons – cannot be designed to entirely avoid audible sound from adjoining spaces from all types of activities. Audible sound can occur, for example, from jumping or substantial impact on a floor. even occur in buildings that fulfil the higher sound classes

Percussive sound:

Percussive sound is addressed in SS 25268 (version 2 2007) and referred to there as ”impact sound in same room”. The requirement stipulates that percussive sound shall be limited in spaces in which several persons are present more than temporarily, such as in large office spaces, nursery schools, etc. Guidelines for measurement and assessment of percussive sound are included in the SIS technical report 2007:15 (www.sis.se). The degree of percussive sound is dependent on the floor covering used. Contact Granab for more information prior to planning.

Conditions

Granab subfloor systems, including floor coverings, can be configured for various sound classes (A – C according to BBR and SS 25267/SS 25268).

Granab subfloor systems are constructed with non-deformable steel girders and an effective resilient suspension system. The subfloor systems are secured to stable subfloors with screws and set at the desired height. Floor coverings of the parquet or chipboard of your choice can be glued, screwed or laid floating. Hollow-core elements and solid subfloors do not require the application of levelling compounds when they are complemented with a Granab subfloor system, which means shorter construction times, reduced building humidity and increased flexibility.

For a planned sound class between rooms in buildings with Granab subfloor systems to be attained both vertically and horizontally, it is important: • That the floor and wall constructions provide the correct conditions for attaining the correct sound class, which can be verified by calculating the sound insulation in unfinished floors and walls according to SS-EN 12354 or by measuring the sound insulation during the production phase according to the methods in SS 25267. Measurements are made before the underfloor system is installed with temporary actions taken during measurement to prevent Definition, airborne airborne sound leakage between measurement spaces. sound insulation: • That Granab subfloor systems are installed by trained installers and and in accordThe separating construction's capability to reduce ance with Granab's installation instructions and installation checklists. sounds that reach the • That Granab systems and the floor coverings can move freely and do not have rigid construction via the air. contact points against the building framework, for example, at attachments and leadthroughs.

• For more information, see Granab's general delivery and sales terms.

To ensure that planned sound classes are attained both vertically (between floors) and horizontally (on the same floor) in completed buildings, all components of the building construction must function in the correct manner. An acoustic consultant should be engaged to review planned building constructions (construction documents). During the construction phase, installation should be checked according to our checklists.

21

Impact sound reduction in the lab Granab subfloor systems have been tested by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden on a reference subfloor of 16-cm concrete according to the Swedish and international standard SS-EN ISO 140.

The impact sound tests were conducted with15-mm parquet flooring on flooring paper, Granab's subflooring of 22-mm chipboard flooring that was glued and screwed to the 7000 system's steel sections, green Sylodyn速 dampening pads and spacer screws in the concrete subfloor.

The dampening pads are built in under the steel sections and permit movements in the floor without impact sound being transmitted via the screws to the concrete subfloor.

By comparing measured impact sound levels for completed floors with the levels attained for the lab's concrete subfloor alone, the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden can present improvement values for the Granab system ( ) that were calculated in the one-third octave band according to ISO 140-8.

System 3000

System 7000

The improvement values from the lab can be used for calculating impact sound levels in buildings with other types of concrete subfloors in accordance with SS-EN 12354-2. Values for Granab systems and various concrete subfloors are in the database for the calculation programme BASTIAN. When calculating impact and airborne sound insulation in subfloors between rooms, the programme takes consideration to the effects of areas and room volumes, as well as adjoining structural elements, which enables both simple and cost-effective engineering of a building's sound insulation. The calculation results have been compared with a large number of values from field measurements and have been shown to agree well in regard to average values. Granab recommends maintaining a 1-dB margin when engineering against acoustic requirements in completed buildings in accordance with SS 25267/-68.

Impact sound reduction in the lab To facilitate comparisons of various floor solutions for dampening impact sound, there is a classification system in Appendix B of the Swedish standard for sound classification of dwellings (SS 25267). The impact sound classification is based on the weighed summation value w that the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden calculates form 16 values in the one-third octave band (100 – 3150 Hz) according to SS-EN ISO 717-2. Buildings with concrete floors and coverings in impact class 7 normally fulfil BBR's requirements (sound class C).

Granab systems produce 29 dB, which fulfils the highest impact sound class 8A. Floors in this class normally fulfil impact sound requirements for sound class A in buildings with concrete floors.

Guidance in the choice of floor coverings and upper flooring on thin concrete subfloors according to SS 25267 Appendix B, (<180 mm) In Appendix B of SS 25267, classification is conducted of floor coverings' impact sound dampening on thin concrete subfloors. The classification is made in seven different floor covering classes with descriptions of impact sound dampening for the respective floor covering classes. The highest floor covering class is class 8A, which the Granab systems fulfil by a wide margin. Wooden floors and carpet on a thin elastic mat normally fulfil impact sound class 7, which results in sound class C on the same floor.

Floor covering class Criterion dB Significance/Application. Floor coverings that belong to the group 8A 25-28 can fulfil sound class A between dwellings when they are laid on

concrete subfloors.

Offices – Public buildings Impact and airborne sound insulation Granab subfloor system are installed in many office projects.

Flexible line routing between subfloors and floor coverings entails major benefits while at the same time, the Granab system creates a good acoustic environment.

Granab systems fulfil the acoustic requirements for offices in accordance with SS 25268 by a very wide margin.

Pleasant, comfort-adapted floors for a better working environment In a good working environment, it is important that floors are not hard or rigid, which can lead to pain in the shoulders, back and legs.

Granab systems, with their integrated steel-dampening effect, provide comfortable floors with documented degree of deflection for point loads.

Spaces – Central units The supply zone is equipped with a fixed unit (so-called island with toilettes, etc.) where central units for power, telecom, datacom, fire alarms, etc. are placed.

Canalisation – Line routes The cable networks are run on cable trays or baskets under the floor along a primary route from the central units and on to the supply zone. The floor is equipped with access hatches over the route.

From the primary route, the cables are run in installation conduits to the equipment locations (outlets).

The system can be potential equalised.

Granab ventilated subfloors If there is uncertainty and risk concerning humidity content or emissions form the bottom slab or subfloor construction, air gaps under the finished floor should be ventilated using mechanical ventilation in combination with the fitting of a moisture barrier under the floor girders.

In its standard configuration, the height of the Granab system is adjustable from 30â&#x20AC;&#x201C;420 mm and provides an open airflow under the girders.

The space under the floor constitutes a separate â&#x20AC;&#x153;room unitâ&#x20AC;? (sealed box) that is ventilated independently, or in special cases, in combination with other ventilation.

Order our ventilation pamphlet for more information.

System 3000 with moisture barrier above the girders

System 7000 with moisture barrier above the girders Granab can provide ventilation planning that even encompasses function, operation and maintenance instructions. Installation of ventilation is conducted by a local HVAC installer or building contractor.

30

Granab ventilated subfloors Granab ventilated subfloor principle Separate mechanical ventilation in â&#x20AC;&#x153;room unitâ&#x20AC;? under the floor using an exhaust fan that draws air out via perforated air ducts of, for example, standard spiral ducting.

Inlet air to the ducts is obtained via a filter-equipped air terminal device that takes inlet air from the respective room units.

Additional inlet air can be obtained with, for example, an additional outdoor air valve.

A large number of single-family dwellings and other buildings are subjected to moisture damage each year in basements, or elevated moisture content in basement slabs.

Besides performing checks and taking possible measures involving new drainage and filling materials around the structure, the wooden joists or plastic floor covering installed or placed directly on the basement floor must be removed, followed by drying of the concrete floor.

Do not build in moisture!

Moisture from concrete floors in basements or bottom slabs must be removed through ventilation and not built into the floor construction. A Granab system with floor girders of galvanised steel and no organic materials is adjusted up from the concrete floor to the desired height and air in the space between the subfloor and surface flooring is constantly extracted using ventilation.

Granab systems with sound-dampening elements provide comfortable floors with good acoustic properties.

Avoid moisture, mould and stale indoor air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; install a Granab system with underfloor ventilation.

31

Floor heating installed in Granab systems Floor heating is installed in Granab systems in increasing numbers of residential projects.

Granab systems with steel floor girders is entirely non-deformable and not affected by temperature variations, which is a major advantage in avoiding subsequent floor construction problems.

Installation of most available floor heating systems with Granab Subfloor Systems 3000 and 7000 provides significant benefits.

When choosing waterborne floor heating, two alternative primary systems are installed in Granab Subfloor Systems 3000 and 7000: Floor heating in 22-mm chipboard flooring with grooves

Grooved 22-mm chipboard flooring that is glued and screwed in place on the Granab girders.

Floor heating plates are fitted in the grooves to distribute the heat from the tubes to the floor. The floor heating tubes are then pressed into the heat distribution plates.

Floor covering 15-mm parquet is laid directly on the floor heating installation, possibly with an underlying moisture barrier.

It is important that installation instructions from the flooring manufacturers are carefully followed.

For detailed information, order our floor heating pamphlet.

Floor heating in sealed floor heating units

Heating coils are installed in the floor heating units. The sealed unit/floor plate is fitted parallel to the subfloor system's girders and on the sealed unit brackets, which are mounted between the girders (System 7000).

Standard spacing between joints, c/c 600.

Floor heating installed in Granab systems Recessed convectors

On many residential projects, solutions with recessed convectors are preferred; for example, when there are glazed floor-to-ceiling facades and downdraughts are to be avoided, but an attractive solution is also desired without visible radiators. In these cases, installation of a Granab subfloor system is very beneficial in that the space between the subfloor and finished floor can be utilised.
