Floor/ceiling construction presents special challenges for noise control: Impact noise is a major factor, and as load bearing surfaces, floors can not be floated or isolated with an air gap without using costly exotic materials and techniques. Acoustiblok sound barrier material, in conjunction with Acoustipad or Acoustiwool underlayments, are the core components for cost effective solutions that meet code requirements and architectural specifications while using conventional construction design and installation methods.
IIC, Impact Insulation Class, is a standardized measurement of a floor/ceiling assembly's capacity to block impact noise (footsteps, dropped objects, etc.). STC, Sound Transmission Class, is a measurement of a partition's ability to block airborne sound (speech, music, etc.). The higher the IIC or STC value, the more noise is blocked. Minimum IIC and STC values are often called out in architectural specifications, and in some cases are required to meet code or public policy requirements
Products & Services
Sound proofing and acoustic materials are used to attenuate, deaden, or control sound and noise levels from machinery and other sources for environmental amelioration and regulatory compliance.
Room partitions are used to separate interior space for work or privacy.
Noise control products passively control vibrations or noise through absorption or dampening (e.g., mufflers, silencers or baffles).
Sound level meters and noise dosimeters are used in sound and noise analysis. Applications include industrial safety, traffic noise studies, and scientific noise measurement.
Audio microphones are designed for sound reception and recording applications (speech and music).
