ENHANCED SOUND CONTROL SYSTEM

LOW PROFILE, HIGH PERFORMANCE.Today’s popular floor coverings, such as LVT, tile and hardwood floors, often present sound control challenges. Acousti-Top provides low profile, high performance sound control with easy installation. With proven sound test results, Acousti-Top can help achieve higher IIC ratings in your new construction or renovation projects.

Acousti-Top can be installed directly on concrete or gypsum subfloor, for additional sound control and where floor height is a concern. Acousti-Top is compatibile with a variety of floor coverings with either double glue-down or floating installation.

For projects requiring the ability to withstand higher rolling point loads, such as ADA compliant units, nursing homes or bariatric facilities, Acousti-Top topped with a Maxxon Underlayment reinforced with Maxxon Fibers offers sound control without compression.

*Contact Maxxon for recommendations regarding installation method.

FLOOR GOODS PREPARATION: All mortars and thin-sets must meet or exceed ANSI 118.11. Urethane Wood adhesives may be used for wood installations. Perform bond testing to determine compatibility of adhesive to Acousti-Top. Contact your adhesive manufacturer or Maxxon Corporation for further questions. It is the responsibility of the floor goods installer to determine the compatibility of their product with Acousti-Top. Use appropriate notched trowel for application of setting materials in compliance with ANSI, TCNA, MIA, NWFA, and setting materials guidelines and recommendations. SOUND TEST INFORMATION: 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 selection and installation of all components of construction to ensure the ultimate designed acoustical performance. All acoustical testing was done by Architectural Testing; Riverbank Testing Laboratories; Intest, Inc.; Intertek; 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.

Concrete substrate should be installed a minimum of 28 days prior to Acousti-Top installation or utilize a Maxxon Vapor Barrier. The substrate surface should be broom cleaned, contaminant free, and should have a smooth finish free from voids and sharp protrusions.

The concrete subfloor shall be tested on grade, below grade, or elevated slabs for MVER (Moisture Vapor Emission Rate) as per ASTM F1869 (Standard Test Method for Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Subfloor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride) or RH (Relative Humidity) as per ASTM F2170 (Standard Test Method for Determining Relative Humidity in Concrete Floor Slabs Using in situ Probes). If excessive moisture is present, corrective actions must be taken.

Acousti-Top Adhesive is rolled out over clean and contaminant free subfloor.

Loose Lay Acousti-Top onto clean and contaminant free subfloor with seams butt jointed*.

Acousti-Top is then placed into wet adhesive with seams butt jointed*. During application, take care to avoid wrinkles and bubbles in mat.

Tape seams of Acousti-Top with minimum 2” width tape.

Once adhesive sets, back roll Acousti-Top to ensure that 100% surface contact is achieved. Roll perpendicular to direction of floor goods.

Engineered/Laminate wood floors, LVT/LVP are applied directly to Acousti-Top. Take care to avoid placing flooring seams directly in line with Acousti-Top seams.

Engineered/Laminate wood floors, LVT/LVP, tile or mortar bed are applied directly to Acousti-Top. See "Floor Goods Preparation" note below for thin-set and mortar requirements. Take care to avoid placing flooring seams directly in line with Acousti-Top seams.

* The installation of Acousti-Top does not eliminate the need for expansion or movement joints, including perimeter joints. An expansion of 1/4" must be maintained at all times. Use Maxxon Perimeter Isolation Strips to assist in maintaining the expansion gap.
