Impactafoam Acoustic Foam

Key Benefits
  • Impactafoam Reduces impact noise
  • Impactafoam is only 5mm thick
  • Impactafoam offers high compression strength
  • Impactafoam is easy to lay and cut
  • Good vapour barrier
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Impactafoam does not deteriorate or mildew
  • Impactafoam is made up of thousands of tiny cross-linked cells. Therefore even if some cells become punctured Impactafoam continues to perform, with good compression strength and low thickness loss.

Impactafoam is designed to form a resilient layer reducing impact noise transmission in concrete and timber floors. Impactafoam is an inert cross-linked closed-cell polyethylene foam, therefore providing a vapour barrier with good compression strength. 

Weighted impact sound pressure level (L) ISO 717 Impactafoam laid onto a structural floor of mass 384kgm2 with screed laid over.

50mm screed Lnw=61dB

70mm screed Lnw=60dB

100mm screed Lnw=58dB

Test carried out at acoustical House  EMPA, Dübendorf. Date of test 18.5.88

ISO 140-8 1998 Reduction of impact sound pressure level (?L) ISO 717-2 1997 Impactafoam laid onto a structural concrete floor with 6.8mm laminated floor laid over

?Lw 22dB

Test carried out at Sound Research Laboratories Sudbury, Suffolk date of test 15.1.01.

In a concrete construction, Impactafoam is laid as a membrane between a structural concrete floor of mass 300Kg/m2 and the finishing screed. For a raft floor construction Impactafoam batten strips are applied to the underside of the timber battens. In a conventional timber construction self adhesive batten strips are easily applied to the top of the floor joists. This forms a resilient layer between the joists and the boarding, reducing impact noise.
