IIC
Impact Insulation Class (IIC) is a rating that characterizes the levels of impact noise transmitted through different floor-ceiling assemblies. It can be
used by architects, builders, and specification and code authorities for acoustical design purposes in building constructions. The rating increases as
the impact sound attenuation of the floor-ceiling assembly increases.
IIC is determined according to ASTM E492 and ASTM E989. The ASTM E492 test method is a laboratory measurement of impact sound transmission
through floor-ceiling assemblies using a standardized tapping machine. The results from this test are then used to calculate a single-number rating per
ASTM E989 that is called impact insulation class.
Delta IIC
Delta Impact Insulation Class (ΔIIC) is a rating that characterizes the reduction in impact noise transmitted through a concrete floor by the addition of
a floor-covering assembly. It can be used to compare the effectiveness of different floor-coverings over concrete and help select different products
and/or systems for acoustical design purposes in building constructions.
ΔIIC is determined according to ASTM E2179. A floor-covering assembly is installed over a standard concrete slab and the IIC of the entire assembly
is determined per ASTM E492 and ASTM E989 as explained above. The ΔIIC rating is obtained by subtracting 28 (the IIC of the concrete slab) from
the IIC of the entire assembly.
Vapor Management
The free space under the DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO mattings allow the substrate to breathe, while the material composition provides for a
very low water vapor permeance, which prevents any significant vapor intrusion in the tile assembly from below.
DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO effectively manage vapor and prevent damage to the tile covering as a result.
