A specially developed mass layer product offering industry leading acoustic transmission loss combined with great damping properties. It is available in 1 lb/sqft to 2 lb/sqft densities with STC Ratings up to 32. It is a simple to install, highly cost effective, noise blocking barrier material.
Tuff-Mass 2 lb/sqft acoustic barrier reduces noise transmission by as much as 43 dB and the 1 lb/sqft acoustic barrier reduces noise transmission by as much as 34 dB depending on the frequency (see test results below.
Tuff-Mass acoustic barrier has an industry leading 28-year history of customer satisfaction at effectively blocking noise transmitted through walls, ceilings, floors and in "noise fences".
The drawing below shows Tuff-Mass installed in typical arrangements that dramatically improve transmission loss between adjoining spaces.

The combination of the damping and stiffness properties of Tuff-Mass gives the material excellent performance as a combined mass layer and damper when applied to partition panels and light-weight structural surfaces, reducing transmission of both airborne and structureborne noise.
Application directly to flat surfaces is best done with contact cement, dry-wall screw fasterers or staples. Many other application techniques are perfectly acceptable. The standard color of Tuff-Mass is black. White or silver mylar facing can be applied to Tuff-Mass for applications where the material will remain exposed.
Tuff-Mass is sold by the square foot on 4.0' or 4.5' wide rolls up to 500 linear feet; 25 foot long rolls are the minimum order quantity. |
