Acoustic Treatment - 09 80 00
| Sponsored by: | Maxxon Corp. |
Acoustic treatment refers to surface materials designed to improve noise conditions in indoor environments. As sound hits a surface it is absorbed, reflected or transmitted through the material in order to control the performance of noise or sound in a space. Acoustic treatment products include insulation, interior finishes and coatings,sound-absorbing or reflecting panels, and wall and ceiling units.

Maxxon Sponsors Acoustic Treatment
Acousti-Mat® Sound Control Systems reduce impact sound transmission over concrete by as much as 25 rating points and up to 17 rating points over wood frame construction. Acousti-Mat’s core of fused entangle filaments, attached to a nonwoven fabric, creates a void area between the subfloor and a high-strength Maxxon® underlayment. For new construction or renovation, the Acousti-Mat System is available in 4 sound control levels.

A Look into Sound Control by RSMeans Engineering Staff
Architects and engineers use various methods when attempting to control sound in the environments they are designing. The basic theory behind most products used to control sound is to absorb or control vibration. Sound waves striking a solid object like a door, wall or ceiling cause vibration. Vibration is transmitted from one face of the object through it to the opposite face, thus causing noise. If the vibration can be absorbed or dissipated, then the amount of noise will be reduced.
Tips on Estimating Acoustic Treatment Costs from RSMeans
 | Acoustical systems fall into several categories. The takeoff of these materials should be by the square foot of area with a 5% allowance for waste. Do not forget about scaffolding, if applicable, when estimating these systems. |
