Acousti-Mat® Floor Underlayment

Acousti-Mat® is a high-performance acoustical floor underlayment designed to reduce both airborne and impact noise in a wide variety of building types. Common applications include:

• Multifamily Residences: Condominiums, apartments, and townhomes where footfall and airborne noise must be minimized between units.
• Commercial Spaces: Office buildings, hospitality venues, and retail environments looking to enhance privacy and acoustic comfort.
• Schools and Educational Facilities: Create quieter learning environments by limiting sound transfer between floors.
• Healthcare Facilities: Minimize disruptive noise in hospitals and clinics for better patient care.
• Luxury Homes and Renovations: Improve acoustic comfort in high-end projects or when converting older buildings into modern, sound-controlled residences.

This floor soundproofing mat is ideal for new construction and retrofit applications across a wide range of flooring systems.

Acousti-Mat® provides numerous benefits that go beyond standard floor underlayments:

Increases impact insulation class (IIC) by up to 25 points, depending on the subfloor type.

Helps increase sound transmission class (STC) by up to 15 points, reducing airborne noise between floor levels.

Works with concrete, wood, open beam, and light gauge steel assemblies.

The entangled mesh construction is both resilient and easy to handle during installation.

Choose from standard or premium mats, including high-performance options for luxury developments or exposed ceiling systems.

Class 1/A fire rating per ASTM E84, suitable for commercial and residential use.

Looking for an acoustic underlayment for a condo or a sound mat for a commercial build-out? Acousti-Mat® delivers unmatched performance.

Acoustic underlayments, like the Acousti-Mat® sound mat, play an important role in reducing noise between floors and are a key part of high-quality floor and ceiling setups. These products work by creating a resilient buffer layer between structural subfloors and the finished flooring surface, effectively decoupling the two and disrupting the transmission path of sound. The Acousti-Mat® floor soundproofing mat features an entangled mesh design that helps absorb and break up vibrations caused by footsteps, moving furniture, or dropped items—greatly cutting down on impact noise that would normally travel through hard flooring. This function is critical in multilevel buildings where impact sound is one of the most common noise complaints.

By incorporating Acousti-Mat® into a flooring system and topping it with a concrete or gypcrete layer, the assembly forms a floating floor that isolates sound and prevents it from passing between units. This not only improves the Impact Insulation Class (IIC) rating but also contributes to higher Sound Transmission Class (STC) performance, helping to block airborne sounds like voices, music, and television. These enhancements are especially important in settings such as condominiums, apartment complexes, hotels, schools, and commercial offices, where acoustic comfort and code compliance are top priorities.

The resilient nature of this acoustical floor underlayment ensures long-term durability while maintaining consistent sound-control performance under load. Building a new luxury home or updating an older multiunit building? An acoustic underlayment like Acousti-Mat® helps reduce noise and create a quieter, more comfortable space.

Proper installation is key to the performance of any acoustic underlayment. Here are a few tips to maximize your results:

• Subfloor Preparation: Ensure the base surface is clean, level, and dry before rolling out the sound mat.
• Perimeter Isolation: Always install the Acousti-Mat® Perimeter Isolation Strip to prevent sound bridging at wall junctions.
• Concrete or Gypcrete Pour: For most assemblies, a concrete or gypcrete topping slab is poured over the Acousti-Mat® to complete the floating floor system.
• Joint Overlaps: Be sure to follow product guidelines for overlapping seams and securing the mat in place during installation.

This acoustic underlayment is designed for quick, hassle-free integration into common floor assemblies.
