Noise problems?

Soundmat PBM is the greatest tiling since sliced, bread.

Soundcoat's exclusive SOUNDMAT PBM is made with a sheet of thin flexible limp mass sandwiched between two layers of foam to provide absorption, transmission loss and isolation. It has excellent resistance to oxidation, IJV light and weathering.

And our flexible plastic barrier meets [JL-94V-0. For outdoor applications, aircraft, vehicles, business machines and EDP generators, compressors and health aire equipment.

SOUNDMAT PBM from Soundcoat. A great way to stop noise. No matter how you slice it.

The noise stops here.
