Custom Audio Designs Budget Soundproofing Mat - A 5kg/m² airborne soundproofing sheet. This material is a mass loaded vinyl (MLV), almost identical to many other names on the market such as Acoustiblok, Acoustistop, Sheetblok, Soundblok, Revac, Barrier Shield etc. etc. Budget Soundproofing mat is effective at improving the sound insulation properties of lightweight plasterboard partitions and floors. 2-3 layers used on wooden floors can reduce airborne noise transfer. |

Recently we have had customers assume that these mats will also be suitable for uprating concrete floors and
walls - this is not the case. They should only be used for lightweight stud partitions or wooden floors otherwise
the improvement gained will not work. For brick walls you need to use our CAD20 panels or our resilient bar
system and for concrete floors you need to look at our Quietfloor Slabs or our IsoBase solutions.
A 3dB improvement is not equal to a 50% reduction to the perceived volume of the noise as some marketing departments will have you believe. You need to get to 8-10dB for a percieved halving of the noise. This product is not designed for impact / vibration reduction. Putting one of these under a washing machine is not effective. They are also not made from a material that will effectively 'decouple' anything as some companies claim. If you are unsure about the applications of this product please email us. Please also note: This product is not a true visco-elastic material. It has no real effective visco-elastic damping properties. If you are looking for a high performance heavy weight polymer damping membrane with visco-elastic properties please see our Tecsound T50 range here. |

INSTALLATION For floors simply lay down the mats butted tightly together. Joints should ideally be taped with our 75mm wide aluminium duct tape. Sheets should be butted up to the edges of the room with any cutting required being done where the sheets meets in the middle of the room. Successive layers should be alternated i.e. lay the first layer from left to right and the second layer from back to front to that any seams are not directly under each other. Gripper should be fixed through the layers of mats and on some occasions longer tack will be required to fix the grippers securely in place. For walls and other applications please contact our technical department if you are unsure as to the best methods to use. |

 | Our Spray Adhesive is ideal for sticking these mats to floors or walls. |
