PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Basic Use
Acousti-Mat® Sound Control Systems offer a cost-effective means to substantially reduce flooring impact noise, even with ceramic, vinyl and wood floors. When installed, Acousti-Mat systems creates a break 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.

Composition and Materials
Acousti-Mat II, Enkasonic and Acousti-Mat 3 systems are composed of fused nylon filaments attached to a non-woven fabric. All are made with 40% pre-consumer recycled content and are GREENGUARD Children and Schools Certified. Acousti-Mat LP consists of polymeric fibers bound with polymer adhesives. Acousti-Mat LPR is an entangled mesh attached to a unique blend of polymeric fibers. Acousti-Mat LPR is made with 40% pre-consumer recycled content.

Types

Acousti-Mat® II
Acousti-Mat® II is the industry standard 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 with a Maxxon Underlayment 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 is made with 40% pre-consumer recycled nylon and may contribute points toward LEED project certification and is GREENGUARD Children and Schools Certified.

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 Code Council (ICC), 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. Enkasonic is made with 40% pre-consumer recycled nylon and may contribute points toward LEED project certification and is GREENGUARD Children and Schools Certified.

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® 3 is made with 40% pre-consumer recycled nylon and may contribute points toward LEED project certification and is GREENGUARD Children and Schools Certified.

Acousti-Mat® LP
Acousti-Mat® LP (Low Profile) is a sound control mat used over concrete slabs and topped with a Maxxon underlayment 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%.

Acousti-Mat® LPR
Acousti-Mat® LPR is an entangled mesh attached to a unique blend of polymeric fibers. LPR can be attached to a concrete or wood subfloor and then topped with a gypsum or self-leveling underlayment. In this application, the LPR system can meet the 50 IIC sound control rating required by the IBC. Acoustic-Mat LPR is made with 40% recycled nylon and may contribute toward points for LEED Project Certification. Applying some types of floor goods directly to the mat is an option.

Benefits
Acousti-Mat Sound Control Systems offer a cost-effective means to meet performance specifications in new construction and renovation projects. Acousti-Mat Sound Control Systems:

  • Are fast and easy to install
  • Reduce impact noise up to 75%
  • Are suitable for new construction or renovation



Limitations

  1. The structural floor should be adequate to withstand design loads with a deflection limitation of L-360.

  2. Acousti-Mat should be installed after the drywall.

  3. Acousti-Mat should not be installed over delaminated wood subfloors.
