Underlayment made from recycled rubber offers sound absorption characteristics that are unmatched by any other material.

These products are used in high-rise condominiums, hotels, office buildings, and other commercial structures that must meet the Building Code requirements for sound transmission from floor to floor.

Silent Tread Commercial Underlayments are compatible with a variety of flooring materials including hardwood, engineered wood and tile. They are also compatible with a wide variety of sub-floor configurations.

Being made from recycled tires, Silent-Tread Commercial Underlayments qualify for Executive Order 13101, and their use can contribute toward LEED Green Building Council Certification.
