* Approved Maxxon Underlayment

F-IIC (Field Impact Insulation Class) sound tests were performed in accordance with ASTM E 1007 and E 989.
F-STC (Field Sound Transmission Class) sounds tests were performed in accordance with ASTM E 336 and E 413.
Actual tests above, plus additional tests, are available upon request.
Maxxon Underlayments and Acousti-Mat/Enkasonic are but two components of an effective sound control system.
No sound control system is better than its weakest component.
Care must be taken in the installation of all components of construction to assure the ultimate designed acoustical performance.


Maxxon provides underlayment, gypcrete, gypsum concrete and other flooring underlayment products for construction, remodeling and renovation.
