Kinetics Noise Control's Model KSM resilient partition isolation pad
offers designers a quick and easy solution for resiliently decoupling
a sound-rated partition from non-isolated structure. Flanking of sound
through a floor/ceiling assembly can reduce STC (airborne noise) or IIC
(impact noise) ratings 10 points or more versus non-flanked sound control
construction. Frequently used in conjunction with other Kinetics sound
isolation products, Model KSM creates a resilient break to stop sound
or vibration from flanking around a sound rated assembly. Included neoprene
bushing assemblies isolates each anchor point of the stud wall to ensure
effective isolation. Apply Model KSM along the bottom and/or top plates
of a stud wall wherever acoustical isolation is required to maintain a
fully effective sound rated assembly. For isolating masonry walls, see
our higher load capacity Model NAFP-10.
