REGUPOL sonus core (formerly Sonus HS)

REGUPOL sonus core is a high performance acoustic underlayment engineered to reduce the transmission of impact sound between floors caused by footfall noise, dogs running, furniture moving and more.

• Install under ceramic tile, stone, carpet, carpet tile, bamboo, solid and hardwood flooring
• Install under SPC LVP floating floor if backing is not pvc/vinyl
• Install under gypsum topping – thickness depends on thickness of gypsum
• Depending on application, may be floated
• Acoustic ratings up to STC 66, IIC 74, Delta IIC 27 depending on the floor covering and floor/ceiling assembly
• Made from 89% recycled rubber content
• Use REGUPOL Acoustics Truebond or new Regupol 45-101 adhesive to glue underlayment to the substrate

• Available in 48″ wide rolls
• 6mm 36″x60″ sheets
• 5mm, 10mm & 12mm in 30″ x 48″ sheets

REGUPOL sonus multi 3

Thanks to the smooth surface and its unique, rubber-free material composition, REGUPOL sonus multi 3 is the perfect acoustic underlayment for glue down vinyl floor coverings. With only 3 mm thickness, it is extremely light and well-suited to minimize floor height. The sonus multi 3 should not be installed under VCT flooring.

• Sustainable product made from pre-consumer polyurethane foam and cork elastomer bond with polyurethane.
• Contains zero rubber and will not cause plasticizer migration
• Factory sanded to eliminate knife marks encountered during product manufacturing
• Flawless, smooth finish to bond approved flooring coverings… sheet vinyl, vinyl planks, carpet tiles, core, and more
• Use REGUPOL Acoustics Trueset or new Regupol 43-106 adhesive for LVP/LVT glue-down installations.

REGUPOL sonus curve (formerly SonusWave)

REGUPOL sonus curve is a high performance acoustic underlayment engineered to reduce the transmission of impact sounds. Sonus curve is installed as a floated floor undernormal weight concrete, lightweight gypsum topping, screed, plywood raft, solid and engineered hardwood floors, and floating floor systems.

Resilient Sound Isolation Clip

Regupol sonusclip SC100

The sonusclip SC100 is a resilient sound isolation clip used to attach gypsum wall board (GWB) to interior walls and ceilings. REGUPOL sonusclip SC100 is designed to reduce airborne and impact sound transmission. The sonusclip SC100 can be used in wood, steel, and concrete construction. Each REGUPOL sonusclip SC100 has a design load rating of 36 lbs. and can support up to two layers of 5/8″ gypsum board when spaced no more than 24″ x 48″ on-center.

Regupol sonusclip DE90

The sonusclip DE90 reduces the transmission of airborne and impact noise through walls and ceilings, including wood, steel, and concrete construction. Sonusclip DE90 is used to decouple wall framing, ceiling systems, and fixtures. The resilient rubber isolators used in the sonusclip DE90, absorb energy and improve STC (airborne) and IIC (impact) acoustic ratings.

Regupol® sonusclip SLC

The sonusclip SLC is a self-leveling clip that reduces the transmission of airborne and impact noise through ceilings, including wood, steel, and concrete construction. sonusclip SLC utilizes a 1/4 in. threaded rod bolt that can be fitted with a number of hangers and bolt lengths that allow for field leveling of the ceiling while increasing the acoustics by decoupling the ceiling system. The resilient rubber isolators used in the sonusclip SLC, absorb energy and improve STC (airborne) and IIC (impact) acoustic ratings.

Panelized Floated Floor System

Regupol soundpanel

REGUPOL soundpanel is a panelized free-floated subfloor system designed to absorb airborne sound and dissipate structure-borne sound and vibration. Each factory assembled 4′ x 4′ soundpanel consists of a high quality OSB panel, fiberglass batting, and 9 REGUPOL SoundPad rubber bearings. REGUPOL soundpanel can be used in combination with a floated concrete topping, hardwood, ceramic tile, vinyl flooring, and many other assemblies.

Soundpanel can be used for noise and vibration control in a wide variety of applications.

Some common uses include:

• Convention Centers
• Performing Arts Centers
• Fitness Studios and Gyms
• Recording Studios
• Cinemas
• Mechanical Equipment Rooms

Vibration Controls

REGUFOAM vibration

REGUFOAM vibration is a mixed-cell polyurethane foam designed specifically for vibration and structure-borne sound isolation. It is available in 12 unique types, each for a specific load range.

REGUFOAM vibration offers outstanding internal damping and low frequency isolation at minimal deflection. This material comes in standard thicknesses of 25mm (1″) and 12.5mm (1/2″) and can be installed in multiple layers to achieve a thicker total thickness.

REGUPOL vibration

REGUPOL vibration is an acoustical elastomer made of rubber fibers, granules, and polyurethane. It is available in 8 unique types, each engineered for a specific load range. REGUPOL vibration is available in rolls or sheets depending on the type selected.

REGUPOL vibration offers low natural frequencies (f0 ≥ 7.5 Hz), which are constant over wide load ranges. This provides additional reliability when the actual loads differ from the design loads. REGUPOL vibration 200, 300, and 400 have a dimpled underside to decrease dynamic rigidity and provide an air gap for increased performance.

Ideal for a variety of applications, including building foundations (especially in areas near railways, airports, and earthquake prone regions), HVAC equipment, machines, pools, and gyms.

Acoustical Fitness Flooring

Regupol® AkustiPro ML-70

Impacts from dropped weights, sports, treadmills, ellipticals, and rowing machines all create unwanted noise and vibration that can be easily transferred between spaces. Regupol® Acoustics has developed an incredible lineup of acoustical fitness flooring products designed to absorb and prevent the transfer of noise and vibration. These products are suitable for mixed-use buildings such as malls, corporate buildings, hotels, and residences.

A multi-layer system that is engineered to fit your specific needs while virtually seamless.

REGUPOL Accessories

REGUPOL® Sill Isolation Pads

REGUPOL® Sill Isolation Pads provide structure-borne sound isolation for interior walls including wood framed walls, steel framed walls, concrete block walls, and pour walls.

REGUPOL® Perimeter Isolation Strips

REGUPOL® Perimeter Isolation Strips reduce the transfer of noise and vibration between adjacent surfaces. Perimeter Isolation Strips decouple floors, walls, columns, pipes, and other protruding object.

REGUPOL® 3D Isolation Washers

REGUPOL® 3D Isolation Washers prevent the short-circuiting of acoustical isolation. 3D Isolation Washers reduce noise and vibration from transferring through mechanical fasteners and into the surrounding structure.

REGUPOL® soundpad

The REGUPOL® soundpad is a rubber bearing pad engineered to decouple, damp, and absorb vibration. Choose from two sizes: the x4 and x9. Each size provides a low and constant natural frequency over a wide load range. The natural frequency is dependent on the pressure applied to the soundpad. REGUPOL soundpad is available individually for customized spacing or as part of the REGUPOL soundpanel system.
