Gypsum Underlayments
A Complete System, Installed By The Best Team Available
Correctly installed, gypsum underlayments provide sound-reduction, a fire break, and a smooth surface ready to receive the installation of new flooring surfaces. While these qualities have made gypsum the underlayment of choice among the building community, gypsum has also been perceived as a soft, chalky surface that wears down quickly. Additionally, gypsum underlayment has also been perceived as time-consuming and messy to install, resulting in long periods of downtime on your Jobsite.
However, George-Fikes LLC, as a part of and teaming with the premier substrate and underlayment group in America, Cemplex Group, never stops looking for better solutions. One such solution is the Smart Batch pump This machine precisely measures every ingredient of every batch of gypsum underlayment installed and delivers the data in real time. Whether you need a standard gypsum underlayment or more advanced, engineered solutions, our technology ensures a perfect mixing ratio of every ounce poured into your project. Smart Batch machines also utilize a super sack system, allowing us to reduce dust events by 97% and install faster.
A single crew can deliver as much as 40,000 sq. ft. of gypsum underlayment in a day, making it much easier to schedule your other trades. George-Fikes LLC is a Formulated Materials™ Premier Dealer, and pours Treadstone™
on every project.
Treadstone™ Fire Rated Underlayments are designed with proprietary formulations that maintain the desired fire-resistive, non-shrinking, fast cure qualities of gypsum underlayments, while adding enhanced cementitious properties of high flow, high strength, and abrasion resistance, thus eliminating the negative connotation of “soft, chalky” associated with gypsum products of the past.
We have extensive experience working in traditional wood frame multi-family, steel and concrete high-density urban living, and precast and cast-in-place construction, as well as specific applications in residential homes and other specialty cement applications. On every job and in every environment we are committed to the success of our customers. You will notice the difference immediately in the level of communication and preparation on our part to ensure that your job is delivered on time and to spec. At George-Fikes we understand that no job site is perfect and it is our goal to work with you to minimize issues that can arise and address them quickly when they do. We understand how important your schedule is and that underlayment application requires pre-planning to ensure a smooth operation. To that end, we deliver and confirm pre-construction and pre-mobilization checklists to your team before we arrive to ensure no time is wasted on the day we arrive to perform our scheduled work.
Sound Control
The Best System Available, Installed By The Best Team Available
George-Fikes offers a variety of sound control solutions, and installs both mono-filament mesh solutions and rigid platform technologies. When paired with our appropriate gypsum fire-rated underlayments poured to correct depth, you will have a floor that provides excellent sound control appropriate for almost any architectural spec. Every sound attenuating mat we install has been third party tested for sound attenuating properties and are UL listed in over 110 fire-rated floor ceiling assemblies.
Innovative Sound Attenuating Technology in conjunction with TREADSTONE® underlayments provide systems ready to meet the growing focus and demands associated with sound control. Incorporating two types of technology, monofilament, and rigid structure. The mass-spring vibration technology of monofilaments is and has been trusted by the acoustic community. New to the industry, rigid platform technology isolates vibration with its rigid structure that limits contact with the substrate, while allowing loads to pass directly through the underlayment to the subfloor, providing long term acoustic performance
