AUDITORIUM
Although it was replaced by other contemporary flooring materials, red oxide flooring is making a
comeback owing to its pocket-friendly nature and elegant appearance. The use of local materials in
their creation is another added benefit to the overall pros of this flooring.
Installing red oxide flooring will add depth to the look and elegance to its character. Moreover,
selecting red oxide flooring will not only provide more opportunities to the local craftsmen but help in
spreading awareness about the safety and environment-friendly procedures that are used in the
creation of this flooring.

Timber Flooring
Timber flooring are generally adopted in hilly areas, where moisture content is high
and wood are readily available. Wooden floors are economical and are widelyused
in wooden flooring. But timber floors cannot be used in all places. Timber flooring
are mainly used for dancing halls, carpentry halls, auditoriums etc. The only
disadvantage of timber flooring is the prevention of dampness thus raising in the
floor. The entire area of ground below the floor is covered with a 15 cm layer of
cement concrete. This layer is called “site or oversite concrete”. Timber floors
essentially consist of boarding supported on timber joists called bridging joists or
floor joists which are nailed to wall plates at their ends and supported by
intermediate walls called sleeper or dwarf walls, along their length. The sleeper
walls are generally 10cm. thick and are honey-combed. They are intended to
reduce the pan for the floor joists. The sleeper walls are seldom spaced more than
apart and are honey-combed to enable free circulation of air in the space below
the floor. Longitudinal timber members called ‘sleeper plates’ are fixed on the top
of sleeper walls. The floor joists are secured to the sleeper walls by being nailed to
the sleeper wall plates. A damp-proof course layer is laid immediately below the
wall plates to prevent the rising of dampness. The hollow space between the
flooring and the oversite concrete is kept dry and fully ventilated.
Auditorium Soundproofing & Acoustic
Treatment Products
soundproofing products are majorly used to enhance the sound
quality and improve acoustic in an auditorium. Products like
SoundAxe wooden acoustic panels, Acoustic foam panels, Sound
Absorbing: Sound Insulation Pads and Sound Barriers: MLV are
used for soundproofing an auditorium.
Using soundproofing products correctly reduces the slap back
sounds, echo & reverb, bass reflections and mic distortions
