FLOOR PANEL
A floor panel is provided including a floor chassis, an acoustic-mat layer and a gypsum concrete layer. The floor panel may be prefabricated and quickly installed on the job site thereby cutting construction time and costs.
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.
12 . The room modular system of claim 11 , further comprising a finish flooring connected to the flooring membrane.
13 . The room modular system of claim 8 , wherein the floor panel is prefabricated.
14 . The room modular system of claim 8 , wherein the floor chassis includes at least one opening.
15 . The room modular system of claim 14 , wherein the bottom plate includes at least one other opening that aligns with the at least one opening of the floor chassis.
16 . A method of assembling a floor panel comprising:
connecting an acoustic-mat layer to a floor chassis;
connecting a gypsum concrete layer to the acoustic-mat layer and the floor chassis;
cutting the floor chassis, the acoustic-mat layer, and the gypsum concrete layer into segments configured to fit together; and
shipping the floor panel to a job site.
17 . The method of claim 16 further comprising connecting a floor membrane to the gypsum concrete layer.
18 . The method of claim 17 further comprising connecting a finish flooring to the floor membrane and the gypsum concrete layer.
19 . The method of claim 17 further comprising laminating the floor chassis, the acoustic-mat layer, and the gypsum concrete layer.
20 . The method of claim 17 further comprising installing the panel in a room at the job site.
