Description
Introducing the SilentMat 15mm an unparalleled soundproofing mat meticulously designed to minimize both unwanted impact and airborne noise. Specifically tailored for carpet final floor finishes, this thin yet highly effective solution is engineered to bring peace and quiet to your home.
Key Features:
Features:
– Ideal solution for superior noise control in various developments
– Specifically designed for timber floors, but can also be applied to concrete floor constructions
– Features a sandwich laminate composed of two layers
– Effectively reduces impact sound
– Enhances airborne sound performance
– Cost-effective, flexible, and easily cut to size
– Thin tiles for convenient handling
– Compatible with a wide range of final floor finishes
Incorporating three layers of sound reduction engineering, this system includes:
- 3mm Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV):
- High mass acoustic barrier designed to effectively block airborne noise.
- 9mm Closed Cell Foam:
- Dampens sound energy and vibrations, providing mitigation for impacts such as footsteps.
- 3mm Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV):
- A second layer of high mass to further enhance airborne noise blocking.
