Isomat KE Fiber

What it is and does:
Isomat KE Fiber is a sound insulation mat that keeps airborne noise either indoors or outdoors. Isomat KE Fiber has a jute backing, which makes it easier to bond the mat. Isomat increases the mass of a substrate, such as a wooden floor or wall, which drastically increases the sound insulation. In most cases, at least 8 dB(A) attenuation is already achieved with this mat without additional measures. This is often experienced as halving the noise level. Isomat is a hard and heavy mat, this product does not compress.

Applications
Isomat KE Fiber has been developed for insulating light constructions such as wooden floors and walls. This insulating mat can be used, among other things, as a sound-insulating subfloor under floor covering directly on the wooden supporting floor. More applications:

• Roof boarding
  Isomat KE14 is also suitable as acoustic insulation against the roof boarding to reduce outdoor noise such as traffic noise. The step-by-step plan for insulating the roof boarding can be found on the tips page " Sound insulation for your roof ".
• Dormer
  Isomat KE Fiber is, in common with use on roof decking, also used as sound insulation in dormers. This construction also consists of lightweight materials that do not block out much noise. More information about insulating the dormer window can be found on the tips page " Insulating the dormer room".

• Wooden storey floor
  By providing a wooden floor with Isomat KE14, the floor becomes heavier and the insulation value increases. The complete explanation about wooden floor insulation can be found on the tips page " Insulating wooden floor floors ". In combination with Polypress decoupling foam, no thicker than 10 mm, you can also insulate the floor against impact noise./tips/step-by-step-plan-for-insulating-the-wooden-floor

Properties
Isomat KE Fiber is a recycled product made from a polymer supplemented with various fillers. It is a heavy, but also thin mat that takes up little space.  Isomat can also be used as the core of a sandwich construction between two layers of wood or plasterboard. This makes simple plaster walls and ceilings suitable for functioning as well insulating constructions. The greatest reductions are obtained if the substrate on which Isomat is applied is not heavier than the insulation board itself. The higher the mass of the construction, the higher the insulation value. Minimum order is 5 pieces per type.

Assembly Tips
Isomat is easy to cut to size with a hobby or box cutter. Cut into the material several times and snap the panel along the cut. Gluing Isomat to wood or plasterboard is done with Stauf paste adhesive. The consumption is approximately 3.5 kg per 8 m². Gluing on a moisture-proof surface such as lacquered wood, plastic, aluminium or steel is done with a contact adhesive such as Saba. Provide adequate ventilation when using contact adhesives.

Due to the weight of the panel, vertical panels must be secured with, for example screws and washers or felt nails. If you are making a sandwich construction of plasterboard Isomat plasterboard (or plywood), you screw all parts to a wooden frame.

Difference with Isomat TS
Isomat KE Fiber feels rougher, is made of different materials and has a jute inlay on one side. We recommend Isomat KE Fiber mainly for floors, walls and sandwich constructions and projects in which larger quantities are processed.
