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.

Granab Subfloor Systems

Shape permanence

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.

InstallationAn 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 check-lists 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.

SubfloorsHollow 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 drawingsGranab 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 16 – 17. 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.

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 – elimi-nate. 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

Comfort

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 air-borne sound insulation for sound class B, as well as sound class A in certain projects.

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.

The unique design of the Granab systems – with components of non-organic materials, steel girders, damp-ening 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.

1. Deflection properties

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 defor-mation were registered. During testing, only 10 mm of the adjust-ment screw was threaded into the support block.

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

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

4. Fatigue testing of installed Granab floor construction

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 test-ing. 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.

Granab systems are installed as subfloor systems for tiled areas in halls and wet rooms in various construction projects.

Granab systems – which consist entirely of non-organic materials – are not sensitive to moisture and at the same time, provide effective impact and airborne sound insulation.

The girders are installed with c/c spacing of 300 mm.

Example, remodelling: Granab subfloor system, c/c 300 mm, with 22-mm chipboard, sheet of non-organic material, moisture barrier, tiles.

Planning, logistics efficiency

Packaged and labelled for each flat

Delivery optimisationGranab systems are packed and delivered with pre-cut and dimension-adapted floor girders and factory-fitted support blocks and dampening elements. Each girder is labelled with a room name and length that matches the information on the installation drawing for each flat or other agreed-upon space subdivision. Granab systems are packaged in bundles on EUR pallets with a maximum length of either 2600 mm or 3800 mm.

Planning, logistics efficiency

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

Because Granab systems consist of non-organic materials and are not affected by moisture or temperature varia-tions, 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.

Interior walls for finished Granab subfloorsWalls for flats or other subdivisions are first erected from floor to ceil-ing. 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.

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 installa-tion is performed.The respective flooring manufacturers provide informa-tion 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 accord-ing to the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden.

Deflection properties

Testing and certification are conducted by the SP Tech-nical Research Institute of Sweden. Contact Granab about full type-approval no. 192101.Granab systems with 22-mm chipboard and both 15-mm 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 deflec-tion 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 measure-ments conducted by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden and measure-ments 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.

Pleasant, comfort-adapted floors with Granab systems for a better working and living environmentIn 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-dampen-

ing effect, provide comfortable floors with documented degree of deflection for point loads.

Granab systems provide pleasant

and comfort-adapted floors for

improved living and working

environments.

Floor constructions with par-quet 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.

Non-deformableBecause 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 coveringsThe 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 sys-tem – 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 floorsThe SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden has developed a measurement method and device with digital deformation sensors for reliably and easily measuring deflection of com-pleted floors. Please contact Granab for information about the measurement device and instructions for use.

Impact and airborne sound insulationImpact 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.

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 func-tion 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 build-ings, are presented on pages 24–27.

• The impact sound value shall be as low as possible.

• The airborne sound value shall be as high as possble.

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

For a planned sound class between rooms in buildings with Granab subfloor systems to be attained both vertically and horizon-tally, it is important:• That the floor and wall constructions provide the correct conditions for attaining the correct sound class, which can be veri-

fied 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 under-floor system is installed with temporary actions taken during measurement to prevent airborne sound leakage between measurement spaces.

• That Granab subfloor systems are installed by trained installers and and in accord-ance with Granab's installation instructions and installation checklists.

• That Granab systems and the floor coverings can move freely and do not have rigid contact points against the building framework, for example, at attachments and lead-throughs.

• That sound leakage through joints and installations in floors and walls is prevented.• That flank transmission via attached constructions – exterior walls, subceilings, etc. –

is prevented.• That sound transmission via ventilation ducts between flats does not occur.• For more information, see Granab's general delivery and sales terms.

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 chip-board 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.

To ensure that planned sound classes are attained both vertically (between floors) and horizontally (on the same floor) in com-pleted 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.

Definition, airborne sound insulation:The separating construc-tion's capability to reduce sounds that reach the construction via the air.

Definition, impact sound level:The sound pressure level in a demarcated space from a standardised impact sound device that hammers on a floor.

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.

Granab subfloor systems have been tested by the SP Technical Re-search 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® 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 Techni-cal 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.

The improvement values from the lab can be used for calculating impact sound levels in buildings with other types of concrete subfloors in ac-cordance 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 ele-ments, 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 require-ments in completed buildings in accordance with SS 25267/-68.

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 group8A 25-28 can fulfil sound class A between dwellings when they are laid on concrete subfloors.For a full description, please refer to the standard SS 25267 (SIS proposal), www.sis.se

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.

Offices – Public buildingsImpact 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 acous-tic 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 environmentIn 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 com-fortable floors with documented degree of deflection for point loads.

Granab ventilated subfloors

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.

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 mechani-cal 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 30–420 mm and provides an open airflow under the girders.

The space under the floor constitutes a separate “room unit” (sealed box) that is ventilated independently, or in special cases, in combination with other ventilation.

Granab ventilated subfloors

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 in-stalled 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 pro-vide comfortable floors with good acoustic properties.

Granab ventilated subfloor principle

Separate mechanical ventilation in “room unit” 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.

Avoid moisture, mould and stale indoor air – install a Granab system with underfloor ventilation.

Floor heating installed in Granab systems

Floor heating is installed in Granab systems in increasing num-bers of residential projects.

Granab systems with steel floor girders is entirely non-de-formable 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.

Floor heating in sealed floor heating units

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 covering15-mm parquet is laid directly on the floor heating installation, possibly with an underlying mois-ture barrier.It is important that installation instructions from the flooring manufacturers are carefully followed.

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.

Recessed convectors

Examples of projects with floor heating/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 sub-floor and finished floor can be utilised.
