HomeMy WebLinkAboutFile Documents.1039 E Cooper Ave.0226.2017 (11).ARBKSoundmatt is a floor underlayment used to control sound
transmission of both impact and airborne noise in floor
systems. Soundmatt is a 5/16" (8 mm) thick underlayment
comprised of precompressed molded glass fibers which
provides a system stiff enough to prevent grout cracking
in tile floors while being resilient enough to greatly reduce
noise.
Description
Noise Control Floor Underlayment
CREATE QUIET
Application
Soundmatt is used for controlling noise in condominiums,
apartments, multi-family dwellings, commercial buildings,
and other areas where footfall and impact noise can be
the cause of occupant complaints.
Soundmatt allows the designer to meet and exceed
codes. For example, the UBC (Uniform Building Code) for
Sound Transmission Control states that “hotels and apart-
ment houses” are “required to meet a sound transmission
class (STC) of 50” and “an impact insulation class (IIC)
of 50".
Impact noise can be intrusive to occupants in spaces
below. Construction that calls for hard floor surfaces such
as hardwood flooring, ceramic tile, quarry tile, marble,
wood parquet, and vinyl tile are all areas where impact
noise is of concern. Without a floor underlayment,
intrusive impact noise can be objectionable.
