QuietWalk Plus™
Universal Acoustical Underlayment for Hardwood Flooring (Float, Nail & Glue-Down)
Product Information
Advancing the fiber blend technology of the original, QuietWalk Plus features more versatile applications with the special attached vapor barrier allowing glue or nail down applications. Boasting the same performance characteristics, reducing unwanted traveling noise and superior moisture protection and proper compression to support tongue and groove, QuietWalk Plus is the universal underlayment covering all installation applications. This underlayment can be installed over wood or concrete subfloors.
Available in 3' x 33.4' (100 sq ft) or 6' x 60' (360 sq ft) Rolls
Features and Benefits
Float It - Can be used with a variety of floating floor types.
Glue It - A specialty innovated vapor barrier allows the glue to adhere.
Nail It - A specialty innovated vapor barrier allows fasteners to penetrate and self-seal. Not recommended where wood flooring is less than 3/8" thick or less than 3" wide.
Superior Sound Reduction - Recycled fibers absorb sound and keep it from traveling to other rooms. Makes click-together floating floors sound solid underfoot.
Moisture Protection - Recycled fibers allow installation over concrete to “breathe” - managing vapors from becoming bulk moisture. The attached vapor barrier protects the overlying floors from harmful moisture.
Compression Resistant - Dense recycled fiber structure supports the click-together mechanism and will uphold its supportive configuration under the consistent traffic of the overlying floor.
Smoothing Out Imperfections - Firm and supportive, but flexible enough to form around subfloor surface roughness, helping to cut down on extra subfloor surface prepping time.
Insulating Value - Provides additional comfort to the entire home during seasonal temperature changes.
Approved for In-floor Heating Systems - Allows heat to permeate evenly while helping to protect the floor covering material from thermal shock.
Made From Recycled Material - A patented manufacturing process repurposes post-industrial and pre and post consumer materials into high-performance underlayment.
Certified Clean and Safe Indoor Air Quality - No VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) or off-gassing from materials.
Competitively Priced - An ideal upgrade from 2-in-1 polyethylene or polystyrene products and is less costly than most frothed foam, cork or rubber underlayment with similar sound numbers.
