FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLY- Floor-ceiling assemblies rated for fire resistance can be built of poured-in-

place reinforced concrete; hollow-core, precast concrete panels; concrete poured on metal form panels
supported by steel bar joists and structural steel; layers of gypsum drywall board supported by steel
joists; and layers of gypsum drywall board supported by wood trusses or I-joists. Other methods and
materials have also been tested and rated for fire resistance.

Impact Insulation Class (IIC) Rating Calculator

There are a number of factors that determine the Impact Insulation Class, or IIC, of your floor-ceiling
assembly. These include the finish floor, the substrate, and the ceiling system below, in addition to your
choice of sound mat or soundproofing underlayment.

Window Assembly- The joining, in a common assembly, of several window units, to form a single entity,
for ease during installation or stability. The joining of multiple windows is also a process to fill the gaps
of large facades and interior walls. The mulling together of multiple window units will allow the
coverage of large square foot areas of space. Research and development has increased the insulation
properties of the individual windows, therefore increasing the properties of the entire window
assemblies. Architects are creatively assembling different types of windows to provide different types of
functions and presentations. The use of round top windows, together with special casement assemblies,
etc. allows the architect and interior designers to create almost any type of wall presentation possible.
