Noise problems? Soundmat LP™ is a real noise "stopper."

The secret of Soundcoat's exclusive SOUNDMAT LF is an inner limp mass flexible septum between one layer of isolation foam and an outer layer of em- bossed foam.

While the first layer of foam adheres to the source of noise, the flexible septum in the middle acts as a floating wall to reduce noise penetration. The outside layer of foam is embossed, making this composite capable of soaking up maximum energy with minimum thickness.

The noise stops here. SOIINII
