Impact Insulation Class (IIC)

Impact noise, such as footsteps, dropped objects, or furniture movement, can significantly disrupt the peace of a living or working environment.

The Impact Insulation Class (IIC) rating is a key measure to determine a floor’s ability to minimize noise transmission. The higher the IIC rating, the better the floor assembly reduces impact noise.

IMPACT NOISE

What is IIC, and how does SONOpanX work?

With soundproofing, the Impact Insulation Class (IIC) rating is crucial for assessing a floor assembly’s ability to prevent impact noise from travelling to the space below. IIC ratings measure the effectiveness of various materials and assemblies in blocking or absorbing impact noise. A higher IIC rating indicates superior sound isolation, ensuring a quieter environment.

SONOpanX is a high-performance flooring underlayment specifically designed to tackle these issues. Engineered to absorb and reduce impact noise transmission, it’s an ideal choice for multi-family homes, condominiums, and commercial applications. With a high Delta IIC rating of 25, SONOpanX effectively reduces noise transfer, making it a smart choice for any project that requires enhanced acoustic comfort.

Choosing SONOpanX means selecting a product that has been rigorously tested and proven to perform. It’s about ensuring a quieter, more peaceful living environment.

“Soundproofing is often overlooked in renovations, but working on Caerula Mar over the past two years has definitely “opened my ears” to the benefits of quality soundproofing. And with SONOpan, it doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. It’s easy to install, lightweight, and affordable. SONOpan can double the soundproofing of any wall or ceiling assembly in new construction or retrofit applications and it’s now available nationally at Home Depot in Canada. Take it from me, with SONOpan – you won’t believe what you’re not hearing”
