Allied Custom Gypsum releases Accuquiet® D13

NORMAN, Okla., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Allied Custom Gypsum is pleased to introduce Accuquiet^® D13, the newest addition to its line of Accuquiet^® brand sound attenuation floor mats. The durable low-profile floor mat is designed with rigid architecture and low-deflection features to meet the evolving demands of today's multifamily design professional, while solving a wide variety of acoustical problems.

Accuquiet^® D13 utilizes a new rigid vibration isolation technology adhered to a water-tight technical fabric. When combined with as little as 1" of Accucrete^® brand floor underlayments, Accuquiet^® D13 will yield an equivalent or improved sound control system in multilevel structures. This product is competitively priced with other conventional sound attenuation mats. Accuquiet^® D13 is an eco-friendly product, certified by the manufacturer to be constructed with no less than 85 percent post-consumer recycled products allowing owners to add to their LEED credits.

"This product shifts the paradigm of multifamily noise control," said Brad Yocum, product & marketing manager-flooring for Allied Custom Gypsum. "The rigid vibration isolation means movement from cracks in floors are virtually eliminated, and that's a game-changer in an era where vinyl plank flooring has become so popular."

Perfect for new and renovation construction projects, Accuquiet^® D13 is a low-profile mat, 0.15" (3.8mm) in thickness. This product requires a minimum of 1" Accucrete^® underlayment on top, with 2,000 psi mix design for residential/multi-family construction. For light commercial construction, it requires a minimum of 1" Accucrete^® underlayment, with 3,000 psi mix design. In addition to its durability, Accuquiet^® D13 can reduce impact noise (IIC) up to 14 dB in wood frame construction and up to 20 dB over concrete.
