DURACOUSTIC sound control underlayment is a simple but very effective solution for creating floor systems which meet stringent sound ratings in multiple-story dwellings (condominiums, hotels, apartments), private homes and business applications.


Testing carried out by National Research Council of Canada has demonstrated outstanding sound attenuation with a variety of construction assemblies and floor coverings, including ceramic tile, parquet and hardwood floors.

DURACOUSTIC underlayment is a 5/16" reinforced rubber (recycled) matting with an open cell structure which enhances its sound deadening properties making possible the installation of cost effective sound-rated floors.

The DURACOUSTIC underlayment system acts not only as a sound deadener but also as a decoupler by breaking the sound transmission path through the floor-ceiling assembly and prevents noise flanking room to room.

Advantages of using Duracoustic

• Conceals minor subfloor irregularities.
• Greatly reduces impact sound.
• Always lays flat and will not slip during installation.
• Works extremely well over radiant heated floors.
• Resists mold, mildew and fungus growth.
• Enhances underfoot comfort.
