Auralex U-Boat Floor Floaters (Singles) Made of long-lasting EPDM rubber, Auralex U-Boat Floor Floaters are our proprietary U-shaped channels used to support framing members and float (isolate and decouple) them from the surrounding structure. With the help of U-Boats, a floated room features greatly improved isolation and low-frequency definition (translated: a tight, floated room will always sound better!). Auralex U-Boats are the industry's most affordable floating solution and are much easier to use than those exorbitant "pucks" that have been used in the past.
Size:
2-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" high x 2" long
*o.c. stands for ''on center'' and represents measuring spacing from center-to-center of, say, joists or studs (or U-Boats). This is to prevent confusion caused by sometimes erroneously measuring from edge to edge. Related Items:

U-Boats
are molded to fit around the edge of any 2 by X joist. To figure out approximately
how many U-Boats you'll need, just multiply the total square footage of
the area you want to float by two-thirds. The resulting number gives you
the approximate amount of U-Boats required, spaced 16" apart. This
formula covers the majority of standard applications.
Most
(>99%) of applications will work fine with 16'' o.c. spacing of U-Boats
along the joist. Spacing further apart will improve low frequency isolation
below 40 Hz. However, spacing should never exceed 32'' o.c.
