SOUND-ABATE

Acoustical Shielding
A Mass Loaded Vinyl used in Wall Applications

DESCRIPTION
SOUND-ABATE is a mass loaded, limp vinyl sound damping material designed for commercial, industrial, and residential applications to reduce sound transmission.

USES
SOUND-ABATE is designed for installation behind gypsum drywall, finished surfaces to block and dampen sound transmission through the entire sound frequency spectrum.

APPLICATION
Place SOUND-ABATE sheet in position at top of the wall. Align vertical edges over center of studs. Insert staples along top edge of sheet to hold in place. Allow SOUND-ABATE to unroll vertically along the height of the wall. Apply additional staples along vertical edge if desired. For each additional sheet of SOUND-ABATE to be installed, repeat the previous procedure. Note: Ensure vertical seems center over studs. Trim sheet if necessary. Locate any wall outlet penetrations that will require access and cut an X access point for each. Caulk floor, ceiling, and corner joints before installing drywall.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

  • Dampens sound and blocks noise by up to 75%.
  • Easy to install – reduces labor and production costs.
  • Thin profile saves material and labor with no added extensions or adjustments
  • Improves HVAC efficiency.
  • One layer improves STC rating by 7 in typical wood and steel studded assemblies (16″ o.c., R13 batt insulation, and 5/8″ gypsum drywall)
  • Classified by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. as to ANSI/UL 263 Standard, Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, UL File CLBV.R39387
  • UL Classified in fire resistant wall designs of the U300, U400, and V400 series.
