Product Description
Acousti-Mat® 3 is the sound deadening solution for floor systems that have been impossible to control! Now you can put an end to those "noise" complaints - even with open beam, concrete slab and conventional wood frame systems. AcoustiMat® 3 consists of a nylon core of fused, entangled filaments attached to a non-woven fabric, similar to Maxxon's AcoustiMat II, only three times thicker. It's a proven fact that the larger the air space, the greater the sound control - and this system creates the largest air void of any sound control mat. The results - up to an additional 5 db improvement in impact noise control, over the already high sound control provided by AcoustiMat II. This is a 15 IIC (impact noise) rating point improvement over a conventional wood frame construction! And 10 points represents a doubling of performance and would sound twice as good to the human ear. The additional mass of the floor system also increases the STC (airborne noise) rating.

*Approved Maxxon Underlayment
F-IIC (Field Impact Insulation Class) sound tests were performed in accordance with ASTM E 1007 and E989. 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 II 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.
