We are renovating an existing 1st floor space to a R2.
The floor assembly between this 1st floor R2 and the existing R2 on the 2nd floor, needs to be 2hr rated.
We have existing wood floor trusses with 3/4" CDX floor sheathing.
Is there anyway to get a 2hr rating floor assembly, by using just gyp bd and resilient channel below the trusses?
Basically looking to avoid having to pour a new layer of gyp crete on at the 2nd floor. Would have major cost implications.
