The sweet silence of superior sound ratings.With FormLok® dovetail floor deck, you can hear the difference.

That difference is silence. When used with a typical assembly,

our dovetail deck system gives you the design freedom to finish

your floor any way you see fit. Thanks to its superior sound

ratings, you can choose from a variety of floor assemblies

and finishes that fit your vision, meet code, and boast sound

transmission ratings (STC) and sound impact ratings (IIC)

over 50. Get a modern industrial look with exposed concrete.

Choose engineered wood flooring for a more classic feel

or select from a multitude of other materials to create

something totally unique.

Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a rating of how well a building’s partition attenuates airborne sound. It’s used to rate interior partitions, ceilings/floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations.

Impact Insulation Class (IIC) is a rating of how well a building’s floor attenuates impact sounds, such as footsteps.

Dovetail floor deck is available in 2" and 3.5" deck profiles.
