HIGH-PERFORMANCE RESILIENT SOUNDPROOFING PROFILE

XYLOFON

Walls soundproofing of a timber, steel or masonry structure is an essential comfort.
XYLOFON is the resilient profile that provides maximum soundproofing through its ability to solve the problem of structure-borne noise.
It is a certified product according to ETA and EPD standards for environmental impact.

APPLICATIONS

• Tested and certified to separate building materials (desolidarisation phenomena and mechanical interruption)
• Suitable for CLT, LVL, steel and concrete
• Applicable with staples, PRIMER SPRAY, DOUBLE BAND
• For soundproofing walls and floors connected with angle brackets

The monolithic polyurethane structure means that the XYLOFON range offers tested acoustic improvement values ranging from 6 dB to over 15 dB.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT XYLOFON? WITH MYPROJECT
For proper wall soundproofing with XYLOFON, the acoustic profile with the right characteristics must be chosen. Using the Acoustics module of the MyProject design software, calculating the appropriate sound insulation for various types of structures (CLT, framed) is easy. The software offers the possibility of:

• Design sound insulation in different design frequencies
• Calculate the vibration reduction index according to the EN ISO 12354 standard
• Calculate the XYLOFON resilient profile and create a printable plan for correct installation
• Calculate the sound insulation solution both for framed structures and for structures in CLT
• Import the .dxf file with automatic recognition of walls and dimensions
• Print the technical report complete with computation and performance charts

Specifications

XYLOFON 20 - NEW
It is the range innovation for light structures and low loads with the performance for Mass Timber.
Acoustic load from 0.016 to 0.14 N/mm², also suitable for the insulation of frame buildings, roofs and small floors.
Supply and installation of high-performance resilient profile for soundproofing, type XYLOFON 20.

Composition
Polyurethane compound

Performance
Tested acoustic improvement: Δl,ij(3): > 7 dB
Maximum applicable load (lowering 3 mm): 1.25 N/mm²
