Flanking of sound through a floor/ceiling assembly can reduce STC (airborne noise) or IIC (impact noise) ratings 10 points or more versus non-flanked sound control construction. Frequently used in conjunction with other Kinetics sound isolation products, Wallmat creates a resilient break to stop sound or vibration from flanking around a sound rated assembly. Rubber bushing assemblies (KAI) used at each anchor point through the top and bottom plates of the stud wall ensure effective isolation.

Kinetics Wallmat stud wall isolator is a molded fiberglass mat which resiliently decouples a sound-rated wall from non-isolated structure. Isolation is ensured with the use of KAI anchor isolators which keeps fasteners decoupled from the framing. Apply Wallmat continuously along the bottom and top plates of a stud wall wherever acoustical isolation is required to reduce flanking and maintain a fully effective sound-rated assembly. Wallmat may be customized for your special project requirements.
