    EPDM Rubber U-Boat Floor Floaters (otherwise known as Damping Shoes or C-Channel Suspension Isolators) support and acoustically isolate floor framing members, i. e joists, to lessen the sound waves passing from one side of the structure to the other. The U-Boats are extruded from EPDM Rubber that is formulated to reduce or eliminate vibrations. Dimensions /
    Specifics: U-Boats are shaped to accommodate standard joist dimensions, and molded to fit around the edge of any 2 by X joist.

    High Quality: Made in the HSA What is EPDM? EPDM Rubber (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer) is comparable to Neoprene Rubber, however it surpasses it in performance and is a more eco-friendly option. Specifically, it has outstanding resistance to abrasion, hydraulic fluids, alkalis, heat, ozone, and weather. How Many Do I Need? If Joist Spacing is 24 OC, U Boats should be installed at a minimum of 16 OC along the joist and should not exceed 24 OC. If Joist Spacing is between 12 and 16 OC, U Boats should be installed at a minimum of 16 OC along the joist and should not exceed 32 OC.
    TIP: If Joist Spacing is 16 OC with U Boats installed at 16 OC on joist, multiply the total square footage of your room by 2/3 to calculate approximate U Boats needed.
