Optimal Sound Reduction For Quality Living
QuietSound™ Acoustical Underlayment “We supplied the QuietSound acoustic underlayment for a number of very large downtown Los Angeles condo projects, and our clients couldn’t be happier. It’s also great that the product is made locally, which means more LEED points.” - Moty Kormandel Carpet USA, Culver City CA
Optimal Sound Reduction QuietSound™ Rolled Underlayment is the premium solution to the problem of noise transmission in multi-story buildings. QuietSound’s sustainable, recycled rubber underlayment provides optimal sound reduction while remaining impervious to the elements. Unlike natural cork, recycled rubber remains permanently resilient and will not become brittle with exposure to air. Not only does QuietSound™ prevent the annoying sound transmission of foot traffic to the floors below, it also effectively deadens the transmission of interior noise, such as from stereos and voices.
