Can be installed under all flooring types
Used to isolate impact footfall and airborne noise
An underlayment needs to be resilient and dense to efficiently isolate impact footfall and airborne noise. GenieMat® RST rubber underlayment meets both of these requirements in each available thickness. The thinner GenieMat® RST02 2mm rubber underlayment and GenieMat® RST05 5mm rubber underlayment are recommended when the ceiling below has resilient clips or resilient channel installed. When the ceiling below is fixed to the framing, then the thicker GenieMat® RST10 or GenieMat® RST12 12mm rubber underlayment are recommended. The thicker GenieMat® RST rubber underlayment versions are also recommended when a higher level of performance in isolating impact footfall and airborne noise is required.
GenieMat® RST rubber underlayment has been tested to perform under most common floor finishes including, but not limited to, tile, stone, wood, laminate, vinyl, VCT, and carpet with installation directly to wood, concrete, and steel sub-floors. The GenieMat® RST rubber underlayment has also been tested to meet ANSI standard 118.12 as a crack isolation membrane as well as IAQ test ASTM D5116 for zero VOC.
