settIng the IndUstry standardWe have all experienced the pitfalls of an inferior sound control system. Whether in a commercial, multifamily, or single family application, sound control is important to the end user. don’t let your project be one of the casualties of poor sound control.

setting the industry standard for over 20 years, acousti-mat® II is the trusted solution to "noise" complaints, even with ceramic and wood floors. Its core of fused entangled filaments, attached to a water-resistant, non-woven fabric, creates a void area between the subfloor and Ortecrete® Underlayment. the low 1/4" profile of acousti-mat II allows a thinner floating floor composite and is a cost-effective choice for both new floors and retrofit where floor height is a concern.

eXceptIOnal prOdUcts fOr challengIng flOOrs

InstallIng Ortecrete Underlaymentgeneral EnvironmEntal ConDitions — Ortecrete Underlayment is for interior use only and should not be poured directly over a plastic vapor barrier. Before, during and after installation, building interior shall be enclosed and maintained at a temperature above 50 °F (10 °C).

sUBfloor rEqUirEmEnts — The wood or concrete subfloor shall be structurally sound, broom clean and contaminant free. The subfloor must be adequate to withstand live and dead loads with a deflection limitation of L/360.* Before installation, general contractor shall inspect the wood floor for proper nailing. Any wood weakened or delaminated during construction shall be replaced. Stud wall baseplates in doorways and other openings are to be removed.

methOds Of InstallatIOn WooD PanEl/Plank ConstrUCtion — The minimum thickness varies with the type of floor system. Minimum wood frame construction is agency-approved 19/32" (15 mm), 40/20 veneer and non-veneer wood subfloors. Preferred wood frame construction is 3/4" (19 mm) of underlayment over 3/4" (19 mm) tongue-and-groove, agency-approved subfloor with truss, joist or beam spacings of 16" to 24" (406 mm – 609 mm) on-center. Minimum wood plank construction shall be 3/4" (19 mm) Ortecrete over primed planking.

PrECast ConstrUCtion — Precast concrete plank construction shall be covered by a minimum 1/2" (13 mm) of Ortecrete. Joints between precast units must be grouted by others prior to application.

strUCtUral ConCrEtE — Poured-in-place concrete slabs shall be covered with a minimum 3/8" (10 mm) of Ortecrete or Commercial Topping. The concrete slab must be 28 days or older and free of grease or other contaminants.

Underlayment applIcatIOn Pouring of Ortecrete Underlayment can be scheduled after the installation of drywall depending on job conditions. For best results, installation after drywall is recommended to minimize damage to installed underlayment and to complete fire and sound seals. Install Ortecrete Underlayment at specified minimum thicknesses, spreading and screeding to a smooth surface. Place as continuously as possible until installation is complete so that no underlayment slurry is placed against slurry that has obtained its initial set, except at authorized joints

lImItatIOns 1. Specify Maxxon Underlayments in Section 03540 – Cementitious Underlayment, or Section 03 54 00 Cast Underlayment. Contact Maxxon Corporation for customized CSI formatted specifications. 2. Maxxon Underlayments cannot resist stresses caused by structural movement. 3. The structural subfloor and floor joist must comply with manufacturers’ maximum span criteria. Typically a deflection limitation of L/360 is adequate for Maxxon Underlayments. Some floor coverings such as marble, stone, travertine, and ceramic tile may require a stiffer floor system. Maxxon Underlayments are non-structural and therefore cannot be expected to reinforce structurally deficient subfloors. The general contractor, architect, specifier, or building owner should make necessary allowances for expected live, concentrated, impact, and/or dead loads including the weight of finished floor goods and setting beds. 4. Expansion joints in all types of work shall be brought through the underlayment.

5. Maxxon Underlayments require a floor covering. Contact your Maxxon dealer for recommendations for adhering floor goods. Call or write for a copy of the brochure Procedures for Attaching Finished Floor Goods to Maxxon Underlayments. It is the responsibility of the floor goods installer to determine the compatibility of their product with a particular floor underlayment. 6. When applying engineered wood floors follow the wood floor or adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations. When applying hardwood flooring follow NWFA/NOFMA installation recommendations. 7. Level-Right Self-Leveling Underlayments are the only recommended underlayments for gymnasium floors that are directly adhered. Commercial Topping and Level-Right are acceptable for wood gym floors using a sleeper system of attachment. 8. Maxxon Underlayments are not a vapor barrier. The general contractor, architect, specifier, or building owner shall test below grade, on grade, or elevated slabs for MVER (ASTM F1869-09) or RH (ASTM F2170). If the MVER or RH of the concrete substrate exceeds the floor covering manufacturer’s respective requirements for the finished flooring system, the concrete should be treated with a moisture vapor barrier, such as Maxxon DPM or Maxxon MVP, before installing a Maxxon Underlayment.

dryIng cOndItIOns Before, during and after installation of an Ortecrete Underlayment, building interior shall be enclosed and maintained at a temperature above 50 °F (10 °C) until structure and subfloor temperatures are stabilized. Ortecrete Underlayment is inorganic and provides no source of nutrients to sustain mold growth. Prolonged contact of moisture with other construction materials, however, can result in mold growth. To avoid growth of mold on construction materials such as wallboard, drywall compound and even dust, it is vital to maintain a low relative humidity both before and after placement of Ortecrete Underlayment. The general contractor must provide and maintain correct environmental conditions to keep the building clean and dry, and protect against infestation of moisture from a variety of potential sources. Moisture can be introduced by other trades through spillage, tracked in mud and rain, plumbing leaks, etc. Often stored in damp conditions, building products may arrive on site laden with moisture that releases after installation. Outside sources such as rain, snow, wind, etc. can also increase moisture levels. Controlling moisture levels in the building, through appropriate trade sequencing and prevention of potential damage by other trades, is the responsibility of the general contractor. The general contractor must supply mechanical ventilation and heat if necessary. These controls fall under the scope of work of the general contractor — not Maxxon Corporation or the Ortecrete Underlayment installer.

testIng For gypsum underlayments, compressive strength testing must be performed in accordance with modified ASTM C 472. Before independent sampling, contact the Maxxon Corporation Quality Control department to ensure that proper procedures are followed.

WarrantIes Maxxon Corporation products are warranted 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 underlayment 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 any underlayment. Because Maxxon Corporation does not install the underlayment, 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 with the sale and installation of any of its products.
