A special sound board was attached to the underside of the upper floor system and a gap was left between the two systems. In addition, nearly all 1st floor interior walls were built below the lower floor system and are completely isolated from the 2nd floor framing. This isolation is key to preventing transference of sound. All penetrations of plumbing pipes between floors were sealed with soundproofing foam or caulk. No HVAC ducting was installed between floors. INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: Lot • Turn-key home • Fence • Major kitchen appliances • MSV fees • Construction financing • Builder warranty |
