A semi-traditional floor would have wood battens laid on pads made of neoprene, which is more durable than rubber. Pads are typically laid 40–50 cm (16–20 in) apart and are 1–2.5 cm (0.39–0.98 in) thick. Then more wood battens are put on top at right angles, halfway between the pads.
The black rubber is glued to the wood and the bolt only connects the metal to the rubber. Three similar shock mounts support the seat. A similar idea, also known as a shock mount, is found in furniture design, introduced by Charles and Ray Eames. It provides some shock absorption and operates as a living hinge, allowing the seat back to pivot.
Neoprene's burn point is around 260 °C (500 °F). [21] In its native state, neoprene is a very pliable rubber-like material with insulating properties similar to rubber or other solid plastics. Neoprene foam is used in many applications and is produced in either closed-cell or open-cell form.
Pads or sheets of flexible materials such as elastomers, rubber, cork, dense foam and laminate materials. Elastomer pads, dense closed cell foams and laminate materials are often used under heavy machinery, under common household items, in vehicles and even under higher performing audio systems.

The term originally referred exclusively to the treatment of natural rubber with sulfur, which remains the most common practice. It has also grown to include the hardening of other (synthetic) rubbers via various means. Examples include silicone rubber via room temperature vulcanizing and chloroprene rubber (neoprene) using metal oxides.
It can consist of a glass fibre, felt or cork layer for sound insulation with neoprene pads holding up a laminate floor. There is a gap between the floating floor and the walls to decouple them and allow for expansion; this gap is covered with skirting boards or mouldings .
Natural rubber and polychloroprene (Neoprene) are commonly used contact adhesives. Both of these elastomers undergo strain crystallization . Contact adhesives must be applied to both surfaces and allowed some time to dry before the two surfaces are pushed together.
