ICC Building Code Now Calls for Strict Sound Control
Structural Homasote® 440 SoundBarrier® is engineered to control sound in UL®-listed floor and wall assemblies (ICC-ES ESR-1374)
Industry awareness of the need for sound control in multi-family residential and
commercial construction is growing due to stricter building code requirements.
According to the American Institute of Architects (AIA), litigation over inadequate
sound mitigation is the number two driver of construction lawsuits. The absolute cost
in dollars and customer satisfaction of such claims is enormous and completely

ComfortBase Allows Concrete
Slab Floors to Breathe
The single-ply concrete flooring system is perfect
for installation over concrete slab floors, increasing
the floor surface temperature with twice the
R-value of wood. ComfortBase is a resilient
board that cushions hard concrete, yet is
structural and durable enough for heavy traffic.
The uniquely engineered bottom surface
provides a built-in ventilation system, which
allows concrete to breathe naturally.
ComfortBase is easily applied by the framing
carpenter, avoiding the expense of additional
contractors. Our float method for installation
under the pad and carpet eliminates the need
for mechanical fasteners.
• Cushions concrete
• Built-in ventilating grid system improves
room conditions
• Easy to install
• Rooms feel warmer, helping reduce heating bills
• Adds only 1/2” to floor height

When décor and design call for tackability DesignWall
meets the challenge in three designer colors. Laminated

tackboard or custom-wrapped* with specified fabrics to create
unique tackable wall surfaces (must lightly sand the surface);
N.C.F.R. Homasote (N.C.F.R.) is a multi-use Class A board
whose fire-resistance is completely infused with fire retardant
material throughout. Unlike competitive products that are
surface coated or dipped N.C.F.R. retains its fire resistance
even after its surface has been compromised. (55% recycled
content).
