Getzner’s expands its impact noise protection range

Two new Acoustic Floor Mats for increased sound control

04.02.21

Buers (AT). Getzner Werkstoffe launched two new designs of its impact noise insulation, the Acoustic Floor Mat, at the start of 2021. The vibration isolating solution now has improved product characteristics, with enhanced dynamic efficacy and a further reduction in the height of the highly resilient impact noise protection mat.

Not only are the requirements for impact noise protection constantly increasing today, they are also constantly changing. In order to support construction planners in spite of this, Getzner, leading experts in vibration and oscillation protection, have developed two new types of Acoustic Floor Mat, which are available now. “We have once again pushed the boundaries of what’s possible and now, following the intensive development phase, we are looking forward to the forthcoming product launch,” underlines Sebastian Wiederin, Product Manager at Getzner.

Impact noise protection for mixed-use buildings
“The most impressive aspect of the insulation mats is their improved dynamic efficacy and their high load capacity. Thanks to their low installation height, they are ideal for mixed-use building complexes with different levels of sound control. They are also perfect for renovation projects with limited space and increased acoustic requirements,” explains Sebastian Wiederin.

Meeting increased sound insulation requirements
The two new impact noise protection mats, AFM 35 and AFM 29, are available in proven Sylomer® product quality and with a 3D corrugated surface. The AFM 35 has an even lower dynamic stiffness than before, which corresponds to 5 MN/m³. This also means it achieves a greater impact noise reduction ∆Lw of 35 dB. “The new Acoustic Floor Mat makes it easier to meet increased sound control requirements in future than it was before,” stresses Sebastian Wiederin.

Highly resilient insulating mats – also suitable for renovations
What sets the second new AFM 29 impact noise protection mat, a homogeneous polyurethane mat, is its high load capacity of 50 kN/m2 and its effectiveness in insulating impact noise by 29 dB. It has a reduced installation height of just 11 mm. These properties make the AFM 29 ideal for renovations and use under dry screed, but also for areas with high footfall, such as supermarkets. The floor mats are designed for high loads. The material’s low deflection helps prevent cracks from forming in screed. “The Acoustic Floor Mat offers consistently high impact noise reduction that lasts for decades. With this product, Getzner is making an important contribution to improving quality of life and work,” summarises Sebastian Wiederin in closing.
