Claims (30)

1 . A floor panel comprising:

a floor chassis;

an acoustic-mat layer connected to the floor chassis; and

a gypsum concrete layer connected to the acoustic-mat layer.

2 . The floor panel of claim 1 , wherein the floor chassis, the acoustic-mat layer, and the gypsum concrete layer are segments that fit together.

3 . The floor panel of claim 1 , wherein the floor chassis, the acoustic-mat layer, and the gypsum concrete layer are laminated together.

4 . The floor panel of claim 1 , further comprising a flooring membrane connected to the gypsum concrete layer.

5 . The floor panel of claim 4 , further comprising a finish flooring connected to the flooring membrane.

6 . The floor panel of claim 1 , wherein the floor chassis includes at least one opening.

7 . The floor panel of claim 1 , wherein the floor panel is prefabricated.

8 . A room modular system comprising:

a room including at least one wall frame including a top plate, a bottom plate, a plurality of studs; and

a floor panel comprising a floor chassis, an acoustic-mat layer on top of the floor chassis, and a gypsum concrete layer on top of the acoustic-mat layer;

wherein the bottom plate of the at least one wall frame is connected to the floor chassis.

9 . The room modular system of claim 8 , wherein the floor chassis, the acoustic-mat layer, and the gypsum concrete layer are segments that fit together.

10 . The room modular system of claim 8 , wherein the floor chassis, the acoustic-mat layer, and the gypsum concrete layer are laminated together.

11 . The room modular system of claim 8 , further comprising a flooring membrane connected to the gypsum concrete layer.
