USG Performance Flooring Project Profile: CLT Multi-Family Construction HD

USG is leading the way in floor prep solutions for CLT construction. While CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) construction is frequently used in Canada and Europe, it represents a new and growing trend in the U.S. market. Nabholz Construction (general contractor) and Modus Studios (architect) chose CLT as a more sustainable, faster to install and more cost-effective alternative to steel and poured concrete. The exposed wood grain makes quite an impression aesthetically, but the smooth hard surfaces create sound transmission issues. Nabholz needed an innovative subfloor solution to address this problem. They worked with Darragh Construction (underlayment specialists) and USG to provide a custom sound attenuation solution. By pairing USG Levelrock® Brand SAM-N25™ Ultra Sound Attenuation Mat with USG Levelrock® Brand CSD® Early Exposure™ Floor Underlayment, they were able to deliver a high performance sound solution. The system was faster and created efficiencies that resulted in cost savings of 10%. USG Levelrock® Brand CSD® Early Exposure™ Underlayment can be installed up to 60 days before permanent windows and doors are installed. It allows for trade traffic next day and offers outstanding resistance to incidental moisture after setting. When coupled with USG Levelrock® SAM-N25™ Ultra Sound Mat, these products were able to provide a solution that exceeded project expectations. Learn more at: (https://usgperformanceflooring.com/)
