WHISPERMAT® - WM1 Barrier with foam decoupler  

[Product Image]   Whispermat® WM1 is a barrier layer of Whispermat® cured to a single layer of Hushcloth® acoustical foam. When the Whispermat® is applied to sheet metal, plastic or wood, the foam is exposed to absorb airborne noise. The barrier then functions to both contain sound by increasing the effective mass to the panel and to damp the structure borne resonant vibrations

When the Hushcloth® acoustical foam is applied to the structure the Whispermat® barrier is then acoustically decoupled from the panel vibrations which creates a "Double Glazing" effect and dramatically increases the sound transmission insulation. 

A facing can be laminated to the the exposed face of the Whispermat® barrier to increase both durability, weather ability and appearance

Key Benefits

bulletUnitary manufacturing process ensures intimate bonding between foam and vinyl barrier material
bulletAvailable in a wide range of weights, thickness and as sheets or rolls
bulletCan be used as a carpet under-layment to increase sound isolation from the space below the floor or deck. When moisture is of concern, as in the case of a marine or off road application, closed cell foam can be used.
