When installing more than one type of hard surface flooring in a home or at multiple locations, MP Global Products “universal” Sound Buffer acoustic underlayment can travel with you from room to room and jobsite to jobsite, saving on waste and letting one SKU do!! Made from 100% virgin latex rubber and designed for use under hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, and luxury vinyl flooring, it can be nailed, floated, stapled, single-glued or double glued.
Sound Buffer is engineered to suppress impact sound and floor to ceiling noise. IIC and STC sound tests have earned excellent ratings. For example, the IIC Test: 6” concrete subfloor with no ceiling assembly with luxury vinyl planks floor covering, result: 52, a rating that exceeds the standard for high-rise installations.
Sound Buffer has other excellent physical properties, as well. These include a 1.2mm thickness, a density of 25 lb/ft³, and a compression set of 16% – a carefully engineered combination that helps minimize impressions and indentations that can occur with luxury vinyl flooring. It also has a thermal resistance of 0.205, and is anti-microbial treated.
Sound Buffer also has nifty environmental attributes. It carries Green Label Plus Certification for Low-Emitting Materials from the Carpet and Rug Institute and can contribute to earning LEED Credit EQ 4.3 (low-emitting materials), LEED Credit MRc5.1-5.2 for Regional Content 20=30%; and LEED Credit IEQp3 Minimum Acoustical Performance. And post-consumer use, it is 100% recyclable.
Minimal waste, maximum convenience, and excellent performance for the life of the floor. Sound Buffer is available in 36” wide 200/sq. ft. rolls, with or without seam tape.
