SPOTLIGHT MAXXON CORPORATION Proven Solutions for a World of Floor Challenges. Maxxon, The Floor Specialists, is recognized worldwide as the pioneer and leader in floor technologies. Name the challenge…renovation, commercial, single family homes, multifamily housing, or self-leveling applications… Maxxon has the ideal underlayment. From the original Gyp-Crete Floor Underlayment, the Maxxon line has expanded to include five gypsum floor underlayments and four cementitious self-leveling underlayments. From a full spectrum of floor underlayments to the ultimate sound-deadening systems, Maxxon offers proven solutions for a world of floor challenges. Acousti-Mat provides the superior sound control that’s now considered a standard amenity in today’s residential and commercial properties. Together with a Maxxon underlayment, Acousti-Mat Sound Control Systems actually isolate sound waves, reducing impact noise and airborne sound transmission by as much as 17 rating points over wood-frame construction, and up to 25 impact rating points over concrete. They also provide enhanced fire control proven in more than 100 UL Fire Rated Designs. Ideal for new construction or renovation, Acousti-Mat is available in four levels of sound control: ■ Acousti-Mat II, the industry standard and cost-effective choice when floor height is a concern; ■ Enkasonic, the original sound control mat — the only mat tested after 10 years of use; ■ Acousti-Mat 3, the superior sound control system, for floor systems that have been impossible to control, such as open beam, concrete slab and conventional wood frame construction ■ New Acousti-Mat LP, the low-profile sound control solution that allows for floor goods such as hardwood or tile to be applied directly to the mat. Maxxon now offers Green underlayment formulations and sound control mats. In today’s building market, architects, designers, and building owners alike want solutions that offer superior performance and make environmental sense. Maxxon Underlayments offer the complete package, with fast installation and drying time, and also contribute toward earning points for LEED certified projects. Maxxon’s Green Underlayments are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified; with some earning the GREENGUARD Children & Schools qualifica- tion…the most stringent product emission criteria in the market. Acousti-Mat II, Enkasonic, and Acousti-Mat 3 are now always manufactured with 40 percent Pre-Consumer Recycled Content and may contribute toward earning points for LEED certified projects. Covered with a GREENGUARDcertified Maxxon underlayment, the AcoustiMat systems are the ultimate in green-friendly sound control solutions! Maxxon products can aid in LEED project certification. Recently Green Level-Right was used for the renovation at the National Center for Toxicological Research in Jefferson, Ark. This LEED Gold certified project turned a former laboratory/production space into office space. Maxxon’s Gyp-Crete 2000/3.2K Green was selected for its recycled fly ash content to aid in the LEED Silver certification process for Blue – a high-end rental complex in Minneapolis. More than 233,000 square feet of Gyp-Crete 2000/3.2K was poured in the project. The developers intended to incorporate sustainable design features into their projects and Maxxon’s GREENGUARD-certified underlayments were the perfect choice to help in the LEED certification process. 40 ed+c J A N UA R Y 09
