170 Sound & Crack Isolation Mat
Product #
A high-performance sound control and crack isolation underlayment, offering installer-friendly, precision cut sheets and optimized roll sizes.
Product Overview
A high-performance sound control and crack isolation underlayment engineered to reduce noise transfer and protect tile and stone finishes from substrate movement. Available in both rolls and precision-cut beveled-edge sheet formats, the system delivers improved acoustic performance, cleaner, tighter seams, and a superior installation experience. The flat sheet design eliminates roll memory and acclimation time, while lightweight palletized packaging improves ergonomics and jobsite efficiency. With multiple thickness options, up to 94% recycled content, USA manufacturing, and a 25-year system warranty protection, it is a versatile, sustainable solution for commercial and residential flooring applications.
The 170 Sound & Crack Isolation Mat introduces improved performance, installer-focused innovations, and expanded format options including precision-cut sheets. Offering exceptional acoustic control and crack isolation, the updated system enhances usability with lighter handling, cleaner seams, and more efficient logistics. With up to 94% recycled content and USA manufacturing, it delivers a sustainable, cost-competitive, and warrantied solution for commercial and residential floor installations.
