Weber Marine floating floor solutions

Weber offers three solutions using ULTIMATE for floating floors on ships.

  • Weber Marine A-60 Floor
  • Weber Marine dB Floor
  • Weber Marine dB A-60 Floor

ISOVER ULTIMATE next generation mineral wool with high yield capacity combines the benefits of traditional insulation used for fire, thermal and acoustic applications while also significantly reducing weight. Compared to traditional mineral wool with the same properties the weight reduction is 2.5 kg/m (minimum 35%) Weber is the only company currently supplying floating floor solutions with tested and certified ISOVER ULTIMATE as part of a floating floor system.

Saint-Gobain has also tested its own floor solution for A-60 with ISOVER ULTIMATE with two layers of steel plates measuring 2+3 mm. Compared to traditional mineral wool with the same properties this solution results in weight reduction up to 3.0 kg/m² (approx. 40%).
