ACOUSTI-MAT® Superior Sound Control Systems
Acousti-Mat® Sound Control Systems offer a cost-effective means to substantially reduce flooring impact noise, even with ceramic and wood floors. When installed, Acousti-Mat systems create a void area between the subfloor and the underlayment that helps reduce impact and sound transmission over concrete by as much as 25 rating points and up to 17 rating points over wood frame construction.
Acousti-Mat is fast and easy to install, making it ideal for fast- track projects. After laying Acousti-Mat over the subfloor, Maxxon floor specialists pour a high-strength Maxxon underlayment on top, completing the system. For new construction or renovation, the Acousti-Mat System is available in 4 sound control levels. Acousti-Mat II and Acousti-Mat 3 systems are composed of fused nylon filaments attached to a nonwoven fabric. Acousti-Mat II "Green" is Composed of 40% post-industrial recycled nylom. Enkasonic is manufactured of nylon and 10% post-industrial recycled content. Acousti-Mat CLP consists of polymeric fibers bound with polymer adhesives.
Acousti-Mat® II
Acousti-Mat® II has a low 1/4” (6.4mm) profile and accepts a thin floating floor composite. It is ideal in both new and retrofit flooring applications where floor height is a concern. Acousti-Mat II increases IIC and STC levels up to 10 rating points over wood frame and IIC levels up to 20 rating points over concrete. Acoustic-Mat II "Green" has 40% post-industrial recycled content and contributes toward earning points for LEED® accredited green projects.
Enkasonic®
Enkasonic sound control mats create sound-rated floors with the high impact insulation class (IIC) and sound transmission class (STC) levels required by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), International Building Code (IBC), and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for luxury developments. Tests results indicate that after 10 years of use, Enkasonic retains 97% of its original thickness, is as pliable as a new roll, and performs equally to a newly manufactured roll. Enkasonic increases IIC and STC levels up to 12 rating points over wood frame and IIC levels up to 20 rating points over concrete.
Acousti-Mat® 3
Acousti-Mat® 3 provides 3 times more airspace than Acousti-Mat II and delivers an additional 7-10 sound control rating points. For open beam, concrete slab and conventional wood frame construction, Acousti-Mat 3 increases IIC and STC levels up to 17 rating points over wood frame and IIC levels up to 25 rating points or more over concrete.
Acousti-Mat® LP
Acousti-Mat® LP (Concrete/Low Profile) is a sound control mat used over concrete slabs and topped with a Maxxon underlayment or Level-Right® WearTop™ to improve IIC ratings. Acousti-Mat LP provides a tough, durable mat with water repellent features and excellent reductions in sound transmission and sound reflection, achieving a Delta IIC rating of 19 – a reduction in impact noise of approximately 75%.
