SoundDown AirBatten Acoustic Flooring Batten
Description

The SoundDown AirBatten is an acoustic floor batten designed to offer greater flexibility for running services within floors. The batten is similar to those of SoundDown’s Pre-Assembled Battens (PAB) Acoustic System, but is 90mm high, with a 52mm foot — allowing for services of up to 50mm to be run through the midfloor. 

Airbatten allows running services in raised acoustic floors. The AirBatten is designed to allow enough space under the batten to run services in any direction and at any point.

If design requires a tall cavity, the Air Batten can also be manufactured up to 150mm high, creating a 100mm cavity in either perpendicular direction.

 

Key Features
  • Greater flexibility for running services
  • Removes limitations in terms of size of services that can be run — with larger services such as data cabling and light plumbing possible.
  • The AirBatten allows service pipes up to 50mm
  • Services can run in any direction, and can be run at any junction, rather than only at the end of the batten. 
Scope of Use

AirBatten is an acoustic floor batten designed for running services within floors. 

It is an ideal solution for commercial developments, retirement villages, and anywhere else where architects want the flexibility to run larger services, multiple services, or services with different starting points and directions.
