   Maxxon Corp.  Acousti-Mat  

Superior Sound Control System

 

 

Other "sound" mats may look like Acousti-Mat, but they don't reduce impact noise!
Specify Acousti-Mat for performance and value.

  Increases IIC up to 10 rating points over wood frame
  Increases IIC up to 23 rating points over concrete
  From Maxxon®, the floor specialists
  Economical
  Documented sound tests

Composition:
Acousti-Mat is a complex blend of Styrene Butadiene rubber that resists deterioration and crumbling.

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.

Specifications:

Roll size: 30 square yards (25.08 m2)
54" x 60' (1372 mm x 18.3 m)
15" (381 mm) roll diameter 
Thickness: 1/4" (6 mm)
Weight: 120 pounds (54.48 Kg) per roll
R-Value: 0.31

 

Installation:
Building interior should be enclosed and maintained at a temperature above 50º F (10º C) until structure and subfloor temperatures are stabilized. preferred wood frame construction is agency approved, 3/4" (19mm) tongue-and-groove veneer or nonveneer subfloors. The subfloor must be broom clean and contaminant free.

Before rolling out Acousti-Mat, the subfloor is coated with a company approved primer.

Acousti-Mat is rolled up the walls approximately 2" (50 mm) to isolate sound transfer, and taped at butt joints.

Lay galvanized metal lath across the Acousti-Mat overlapping the lath at the seams.

The Acousti-Mat surface is coated with a company-approved primer before the underlayment is poured.

Apply a 1 inch (25 mm) minimum topping of approved Maxxon underlayment (Gyp-Crete 2000®, Dura-Cap®, Therma-Floor® or Level-Right®).

Continuous ventilation and adequate heat should be provided to rapidly remove moisture from the area until the underlayment is dry. The general contractor must supply mechanical ventilation and heat, if necessary. Under the above conditions, drying time of 10 to 14 days is usually adequate.

 F-IIC (Field Impact Insulation Class) sound tests were performed in accordance with ASTM E 1007 and E 989. F-STC (Field Sound Transmission Class) sound tests were performed in accordance with ASTM E 336 and E 413. Actual tests are available upon request. Maxxon Underlayments and Acousti-Mat are but two components of an effective sound control system. No sound control system is better than its weakest component. Care must be taken in the installation of components of construction to assure the ultimate designed acoustical performance.

 

Warranty: Maxxon Corporation guarantees that Acousti-Mat will not crumble as a result of oxidation or aging under a Maxxon gypsum floor underlayment. This warranty applies only to the original installation, and only when properly installed over smooth, flat, structurally sound subfloors.

This warranty does not include any cost or expense for removal or installation of Acousti-Mat or the Maxxon underlayment. Maxxon Corporation assumes no liability for any incidental or consequential loss, damage or expense.

Maxxon underlayments are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects. Manufacturing defects are considered to be those defects that occur due to the quality of the ingredients or from the manufacturing process itself. For complete warranty information, see your Maxxon products dealer.
