Proven results:
Tests by the National Research Council
show that QuietDown is effective at
reducing mid- to high-frequency impact
sounds beneath ceramic flooring,
hardwood and laminates. For example,
1/8” QuietDown under hardwood
achieves an FIIC rating of 61. This means
impact sounds such as speech, people
walking in hard-soled shoes or dropped
toys, pots, pans, etc. will be reduced.
Installs in a flash
QuietDown is perfect for do-it-yourselfers.
Laying and trimming
QuietDown is quick and easy.

Green materials
Like all Symar products, QuietDown is
engineered from recycled rubber – so
every square foot you install means less
landfill waste. For contractors, this means
it contributes to the ‘green content’ in new
construction.
Keeps working for years and years
QuietDown is made of masticated rubber
that is fiber-reinforced and fully cured.
This unique process translates into a
stronger, more resilient acoustic underlay.
Symar QuietDown doesn’t pack down or
fall apart over time – it keeps on
performing year after year.
Investing in new flooring?
Installing QuietDown below your floor is
far more durable and effective as a sound
dampener than foam or fibrous underlay.
The difference is remarkable.
