What is a Delta IIC Sound rating?
This is the purest form of impact sound rating in the industry. It directly measures impact sound of flooring materials with underlayment over a 6” concrete slab, compared to just the impact sound of the slab alone. The different between the two results is the delta rating. This is important because it measures the value the underlayment brings to the flooring. Higher the number the better sound control the underlayment provides.
QuietWalk LV has an industry leading Delta IIC of 28!
