TOUGH
The Robinson Test is a standard testing method used for evaluating the robustness of floor tile installation systems over various sub-floors. SnapStone tested to cycle 6 earning a "light commercial" rating over a 3/4" OSB sub-floor, 16" OC. This impressive test rating demonstrates the high level of quality and durability associated with the SnapStone system.
QUIET
Condominiums and apartments hold specified requirements for the minimum level of sound insulation maintained by a given flooring unit. The Impact Insulation Class (IIC) Test is one method for measuring this. SnapStone earned a rating of “58,” making it perfect for these environments.
