Acoustics 10kg Soundproofing Mat 5mm Thick For Floorboards
Description:
Dimensions - 1.2m by 2m by 5mm thick per sheet (nominal) - 10kg per square meter.
A 5mm thin soundproofing mat designed to block and reduce airborne noise through stud walls and timber joisted floors and ceilings.
Please note: Soundproofing Mat is a very heavy product and larger orders may require help with offloading!
Soundproofing Mat is a heavy layer mineral loaded soundproofing mat nominally 5mm thick with excellent sound blocking qualities and will give significant sound reduction through lightweight structures when used as a sound barrier. It is equal to lead of the same mass in effectiveness and acts as a thin de-coupling sound blocker in stud walls and timber floors. Biggest sound insulation improvements can be achieved when it is used as one layer sandwiched between two sheets of plasterboard on lightweight structures.
One layer of Soundproofing Mat has an insulation value of 28dB.
Normally, a 3dB improvement is equal to a 50% loss in the volume of noise depending on where you are standing!!
Because Soundproofing Mat is produced from recycled manufacturing materials, there may sometimes be a 'rubbery' smell when the product is first unpacked. Usually any smell will dissipate within a few days but as a precaution, we advise applying a thin layer of polythene over the insulation on walls and floors before the final covering is installed to seal in any possible smells.
For use on floors first ensure the floorboards are securely screwed to the floor so as not to squeak when walked over. Then use our Acoustic Sealant and fill in the joints between the floorboards and around the edge of the room making the floor is as airtight as possible. Then using our Contact Adhesive glue the layers of soundproofing mat to the timber floor.
