Answers

@. What is meant by a floating
floor?
A. In floating-floor construo-
ton. the finish floor Is insulated
from the structural members OF
the floor construction. Wood
sleepers are laid over insulating
board or felt padding. and the fin
ish floor Is nailed TO the sleepers.
This method of construction pre-
vents direct contact between the
finish floor and the floor joists
and reduces the transfer of sound
from the finish floor TO rooms
below.
Q. Should a bathroom 10 be
shared by two bedrooms have
doors giving direct access into
each bedroom?
A. One door opening into a small
hallway which. serves both bed
rooms II better planning. Two
doors are inconvenient and waste
valuable space in the bathroom.
