Floors

Floors with excellent noise reduction properties

On board every type of ship, many different noises and vibrations
as well as physical forces can permeate through all the decks. There-
fore, it is very important to install floors that hinder this on a high
level – our products are the perfect solution. And because fire
protection is another important aspect, our floor systems are
tested for dangerous fire situations in accordance with interna-
tional guidelines.

Available in classifications ranging from A-60 to C-class, the floor

systems are suitable for each purpose.

A-60 floor
A high fire protection classification and excellent acoustic insulation
means that this floor can be used in all areas on board the ship. To
install this floor, the panels are simply laid out on the ground and
welded together at various points.

C-class floor
This floor is ideal for use in areas where no specific fire protection
requirements are stipulated by inter- national regulations. The
design of this panel is similar to that of the A-60 floor panel, the only
difference being that the insulation under the outer steel layer
covering is thinner.

Doors

Safety and privacy

The cabins for the crew and the passengers on board are only
complete when equipped with a door. It gives the passengers and
the crew inside a sense of safety and privacy. Alvedoor Marine
offers doors in fire classification B for the usage in cabins and doors
in fire classification A for the usage in areas that require higher
protection. Doors in classification A can be fitted either by welding
or by bolting them to the surrounding steel structure. The doors can
be applied with a clearance opening measuring up to 2,700 mm in
width and 2,000 mm in height, depending on the product type.

For interior areas the installation of cabin doors featuring fire

protection classification B-15 is stipulated by law. Alvedoor Marine
provides cabin doors with clamping frames for that purpose.
These clamping frames can be fitted during assembly into the wall
structure or can be integrated into an existing wall system using a
two-part frame. In principle, our doors can be outfitted with all the
relevant accessories and include the right surface coating to match
the design of the existing environment.

Insulation

For best temperature in all areas on board

Our insulation solutions have been well established at the interna-
tional shipbuilding market ever since our foundation representing
the roots of our company. This means we have an abundance of
know-how within our Research & Development department for this
special subject. Insulation has to be well planned and installed and is
extremely essential for ensuring high energy efficiency, the required
safety, and necessary comfort on board.

Particularly for noise-sensitive areas on board offshore vessels,

which are used in drastically changing temperature and climate
conditions, or for cruise ships with high noise emissions within
working and living areas, as well as for piping systems that transport
goods at a temperature of unusual minus or plus degrees.

Economically sustainable solutions using environmentally friendly

and energy-efficient materials as well as quick and reliable comple-
tion of the insulation work are a main priority for R&M.

Our services ❚ Pipeline and surface insulation

❚ Thermal insulation ❚ Insulation of exhaust and HVAC systems
❚ Fire safety ❚ Insulation of cargo tanks on LNG tankers
❚ Noise and vibration protection ❚ Pressure hull insulation for submarines
❚ Floor insulation ❚ EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)

Piping systems

Optimal circulatory system on board

The right piping systems on board every ship type are absolutely
essential. We plan, coordinate, and install piping systems from
partial to overall sections, both special and customized solutions.
Compressed air, coolant as well as fresh, gray, and black water have
to be carried safely through the ship.

Obviously, this requires expertise, design know-how, and long-

lasting experience. R&M stands for these and assumes responsibility
for every piping system.
