Specify Maxxon for Confidence and Superior Sound Control 

Leveraging previous specifications in your multifamily designs can be efficient. However, changes to building codes, market demands, and industry standards dictate a fresh look at office masters.

When you consider noisy buildings are a top complaint of multifamily residents, relying on outdated specs can compromise client investment, occupant satisfaction, and possibly your reputation.  Did you know that the International Code Council recommends IIC and STC of 55 or higher for market rate apartments and STC and IIC ratings of 60 or higher for luxury properties?

Regularly reviewing and updating your specs ensure your designs comply with new requirements, changing regulations, and increased tenant expectations of acoustical privacy. This approach also allows projects to benefit from industry-leading products and innovative solutions previously absent in your specifications.  

Specify with Confidence 

Adding Maxxon to your specifications for gypsum underlayments and sound control mats provides proven solutions to meet or exceed building requirements with a trusted leader in multifamily construction. Maxxon’s legacy of innovation and performance embeds confidence in your specifications.

Over 50 years ago, Maxxon revolutionized multifamily construction by inventing Gyp-Crete® gypsum concrete. As an industry pioneer and leader, we then elevated occupant acoustical comfort by introducing Acousti-Mat®, the first sound control mats for multifamily buildings. By specifying Maxxon® Acousti-Mat® 3/8 you can achieve the higher sound control ratings preferred in luxury properties and safeguard code ratings in market rate projects.

Through our commitment to innovation, we continue to develop safe, proprietary solutions to meet or exceed industry standards for compressive strength, fire safety, acoustical isolation, and green building practices. All Maxxon gypsum underlayments and sound control mats are GREENGUARD Gold Certified. And we recently launched our VenTek™ rainscreen systems to keep pace with building codes that target effective moisture management in the building envelope.

Maxxon underlayment products are available in over 140 UL & ULC fire resistance-rated designs. Our acoustical isolation systems are backed by 30+ years of field- and lab-tested performance, including thousands of sound tests. We also offer a state-of-the-art acoustics lab, accredited by NVLAP (Lab 600320-0) for ASTM E90, E492, and E2179, that features the world’s largest floor-ceiling sound chamber. Here our scientists perform precise, accredited testing across a wide range of assemblies in a controlled environment, enabling us to develop tailored solutions for acoustically challenged spaces, including mass timber projects.
