Carpet Underlayment
Technical Specification
Our Premium Acoustic Carpet Underlayment is specially designed as an easily installed product to reduce the transmission of noise through floor assemblies from both airborne and sturcutre-borne sources such as talking or walking impact. This Premium Underlayment consists of a resilient acoustic foam layer with Tuff-Mass barrier bonded to one side. The resiliency of the foam acts to cushion footfall and other impact type noises while providing a plush underfoot feel. Adding a layer of Tuff-Mass to the padding provides a decoupled mass layer effect which is highly effective at stopping noise in the speaking frequencies as well as other living noises.
Installation of Premium Carpet Underlayment is straight-forward in new or existing applications with no specialty tools required. Simply roll out the underlayment (barrier side up) and fit the carpet directly on top. In cases where a tack strip is used, stop the underlayment at the inside edge of the tack strip and tack the carpet in place.
In any living or working arrangement where noise from one space is impacting the usability of spaces above or below, our Premium Carpet Underlayment should be considered. With the ability to significantly reduce noise at frequencies as low as 250Hz this product is highly effective at reducing speaking frequencies, A/V and home theater noise, domestic mechanical equipment and a range of other noise sources found in close quarters living or working environments.
