NORTON CST™ Squeaky Floors

NORTON CSTTM was developed as a solution to one of the nagging problems in residential housing — squeaky floors — those spots in your floor you step on that emit an annoying squeak. Home builders must deal with customer complaints and job callbacks to fix the squeaks. This is a difficult and expensive problem to solve after the fact, and not always successful. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) estimates the average callback costs the builder over $350.00 per call.

 

Norton CST roll det   NORTON CSTTM offers an easy-to-use solution to subfloor squeaks. The squeak is often caused by gaps between the subfloor and the joist; construction adhesives, by their liquid nature, get squeezed down to a very thin film between the joist and subfloor sheathing. They are not capable of consistently accommodating the gap and movement.
