Getzner: Two new Acoustic Floor Mats for increased sound control

Getzner Werkstoffe launched two new designs of its impact noise insulation, the Acoustic Floor Mat (AFM), at the start of 2021. According to the manufacturer, 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, said Getzner. In order to support construction planners in spite of this, the company has developed two new types of Acoustic Floor Mat. “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,” said Sebastian Wiederin, Product Manager at Getzner.

The two new impact noise protection mats, AFM 35 and AFM 29, are made of the polyurethane material Sylomer and have 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, said the company. “The new Acoustic Floor Mat makes it easier to meet increased sound control requirements in future than it was before,” said Wiederin.

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,” said Wiederin.
