AccuQuiet® Sound Control Systems are designed for use with AccuCrete® Pourable Underlayments as an integral part of an overall noise reduction strategy.
System Benefits:
- Cost effective improvement of IIC and STC ratings in floor-ceiling assemblies
- Engineered monofilament configurations for low deflection characteristics
- Breathable, water-tight technical membrane prevents leaks of slurry and water through the sound mat
- Permanent sound control: AccuQuiet® Sound Control Systems become an imbedded component of the floor ceiling assembly, even after floor coverings are replaced.
- Full breadth of floor covering options are available, including tile, stone, marble, ceramic tile, and glue-down or floating hardwood….without sacrificing sound control!
AccuQuiet® Sound Control Systems are important components in floor-ceiling assemblies designed to achieve enhanced acoustical performance. AccuQuiet® offers two types of technologies to solve a wide variety of acoustical problems by improving IIC and STC ratings of floor-ceiling assemblies.
