ACOUSTI-MAT LPR The LOW-PROfILe BARRIeR BeTWeen fLOORS And nOISe COMPLAInTS

The Ideal solution for Wood Frame
Construction where floor height is a concern
ACOUSTI-MAT LPR
The Low-Profile Barrier
Between Floors and Noise Complaints
Today’s popular floor coverings such as vinyl plank, tile and hardwood
floors often present sound control challenges. Acousti-Mat® LPR
(LP with Reinforcement) provides quality sound control with easy
Acousti-Mat LPR Benefits
• 3/4" profile with Maxxon gypsum underlayment over wood frame
installation. With proven sound test results, Acousti-Mat LPR can
• 3/8" profile with Level-Right® self-leveling underlayments over
concrete
help achieve higher IIC ratings in your projects.
• Over 100 UL Fire Designs
Acousti-Mat LPR can be installed directly on the wood subfloor, then
•M
eets the IBC for sound control in wood, steel, and concrete
construction
covered with a high-strength Maxxon Underlayment. The strong
entangled mesh at its core provides the reinforcement necessary
for any of Maxxon’s high-strength underlayments. Acousti-Mat LPR
now meets the stringent VOC requirements of GREENGUARD Gold
Certification and may help contribute toward points for LEED®
project certification.

SOUND TEST INFORMATION: All acoustical testing was done by Architectural Testing; Riverbank Testing Laboratories; Intest, Inc.; Twin City Testing Corporation; Maxxon R&D Test Center; D.L. Adams Associates, L.T.D.;
Veneklasen Associates; NGC Testing Services; AV Group or JGL Acoustics. For type of floor covering used, channel spacing and other information, contact Maxxon for test reports by number. International Building Code (IBC) requires a minimum 50 STC/
IIC (45 F-STC/F-IIC) in multifamily construction. Because an STC/IIC of 50 provides only marginal sound control, the International Code Council (ICC), author of the IBC, now recommends that an “acceptable” level of performance for both STC and IIC
is 55 (52 if field tested). The “preferred” level of performance for STC and IIC is 60 (57 if field tested). Maxxon Underlayments and Acousti-Mat are but single 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 all components of construction to ensure the ultimate designed acoustical performance.
WARRANTY: Maxxon® Corporation warrants Acousti-Mat® LPR to be free from manufacturing defects as defined in this warranty. Manufacturing defects are considered to be those defects that occur due to the quality of the ingredients or from
the manufacturing process itself. This warranty does not include labor costs and other costs or expenses associated with the removal or installation of Acousti-Mat LPR. Because Maxxon Corporation does not perform the actual installation, it cannot be held
responsible for the results of the application. Maxxon Corporation specifically disclaims problems that occur due to weather conditions, structural movement, structural design flaws and application techniques. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties
expressed or implied including the warranty of merchantability and fitness of a particular purpose and of all other obligations or liabilities on Maxxon Corporation’s part. Maxxon Corporation neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume for Maxxon
Corporation any liability in connection with the sale and installation of Acousti-Mat LPR.

ACOUSTI-MAT LPR Installation

step
step
step
" isolation strips are installed around and up all walls, columns, and
3
floor penetrations to eliminate flanking paths. Approximately 1" of
the isolation strip should go on the wall, column, etc., and the rest of
the subfloor. Isolation strips can also be utilized to cover any exposed
subfloor or underlayment between seams in the Acousti-Mat LPR.
Acousti-Mat LPR is loose laid over wood subfloor; seams between sections
of sound mat are adhered with zip-strips or taped.
Acousti-Mat LPR is topped with an approved Maxxon Underlayment.
For uniform depth and a smooth surface, installers use a screed to finish
the underlayment surface. In as little as two hours after the underlayment
has been poured, the floor is hard enough to accommodate foot traffic.
