CMS Danskin Acoustics’ new acoustic underlay REGUPOL sonus multi 500 series provides excellent acoustic performance, contains a higher percentage of recycled material and offers a commercial advantage over previous REGUPOL variants.
Available only from CMS Danskin Acoustics in the UK, the REGUPOL acoustic underlayment is available as sonus multi 530 (3mm) and sonus multi 545 (4.5mm). Developed to attenuate impact sound beneath a range of floor finishes, including vinyl sheeting, LVT and tiled floors such as ceramic, granite, stone and marble, sonus multi 500 offers long term performance without collapse or bottoming.
As with the earlier products, REGUPOL sonus multi 530 and 545 demonstrate compliance to Approved Document E (England & Wales), Technical Booklet G (Northern Ireland) and Section 5 (Scotland).
New REGUPOL sonus multi 500 is manufactured using post-consumer recycled materials with material content @ 90% recyclate @ 10% PU binder ref: EPD-REG-20230194-IBC1-EN as per ISO 14025 AND EN 15804+A2.
In another step change, REGUPOL sonus multi 500 is to be supplied as rolls without cardboard cores, reducing shipping weight and eliminating site disposal of cardboard. This can help to reduce transportation emissions, and, most significantly, it will reduce waste from site compared to its predecessors.
“We have basically improved what was already a high performing acoustic underlayment in REGUPOL sonus multi taking into account the needs of the market,” explains UK REGUPOL consultant Jamie Symons. “The investment means the new REGUPOL sonus multi 500 series gives improved performance, dependent upon floor finish and system build-up, gives a commercial advantage over previous REGUPOL variants and has a greater recycled material content.”
Andy Hayes, technical manager at CMS Danskin Acoustics and Associate Member of the IoA, comments, “This development makes it easier for our customers to choose the right acoustic underlayment to deliver acoustic performance whilst having the advantage of being commercially attractive.
“With improved price stability due to the availability of the raw materials, REGUPOL sonus multi 500 series does not contain any rubber, removing concern over plasticiser migration. The recycled content of REGUPOL sonus multi 500 series is now 90%, compared with sonus multi and sonus eco at 72% and 87% respectively.”
The new acoustic underlay has tested successfully for compatibility with approved REGUPOL adhesives.
