Hacker Industries, Inc. offers five different Sound Control Mats to meet demanding sound-attenuating reqirements for impact nose. Over 8 million of square feet of FIRM-FILL® SCM and Hacker Sound Mats have been installed in projects thorughout North America. That number is expected to double in just three years time as the demand for better IIC ratings continues to increase.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SOUND CONTROL MAT

FIRM-FILL® SCM-125: a 1/8" (3mm) sound control mat, is engineered to limit impact sound transmission in multi-family construction.

Benefits

• Ideal for wood-frame, multi-family construction• Essential for excellent STC and IIC ratings• Install over a FIRM-FILL® SCM or Hacker Sound Mat for additional sound isolation• Integral part of over 105 UL fire rated design listings• Lightweight and crack-resistant• Fast installation and rapid set time; may be walked on in 90 minutes• Contributes points to LEED® project certification• Creates a flat, durable surface for finished floor coverings• Installed only by Licensed Applicators across North America

Product Description

FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete, "Super Blue" underlayment from Hacker Industries, Inc., is formulated for use over wood or concrete subfloors in multi-family construction. FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete provides compressive strengths from 1200-2200 psi (8.3 - 15.2 MPa). Intallation after drywall. To keep project on schedule and on budget, Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Licensed Applicators can install over 40,000 ft² of FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete in one day. FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete is mixed on the job site with local sand (per ASTM C33) and water to create a lightweight slurry. Installed at a minimum of 3/4” thick, the underlayment weighs approximately 7 lb/ft² (34.2 kg/m²) with a dry density range of 105-115 pcf. For new construction or renovation, FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete is a cost-efficient way to create a smooth, hard surface for finished floor coverings, while offering exceptional compressive strengths matched with superior acoustical control and fire resistance properties. To achieve additional sound isolation, use in conjunction with a FIRM-FILL® SCM or Hacker Sound Mat.

Limitations

• Shall not be used in exterior locations, below grade or where continuous exposure to moisture is likely.• Shall not be used as a wear surface; must be covered by a finished floor covering.• Structure shall be designed so that deflection does not exceed L/360 live or dead load.• Certain floor coverings, such as marble, limestone, travertine and wood, may have more restrictive

deflection limits. Consult the appropriate floor covering manufacturer for recommendations.• If installed above a crawl space, subfloor must be protected by a vapor barrier.• No single application of FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete shall exceed 3-1/2” in depth.• FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete is one component of an effective sound and fire control system. Care must be

taken in the installation of all components to assure the ultimate design performance. Published acoustical and fire system tests were conducted under controlled laboratory or field conditions and reflect results applicable only to those specific assemblies.

Installation

Before, during and after the installation of FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete, the building must be enclosed and the temperature maintained at a minimum of 50°F (10°C). Prior to the installation of FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete, the subfloor shall be structurally sound (L/360), broom cleaned, dry and free from oil, grease, paraffin, laitance, wax or other contaminants. Concrete subfloors shall be 28 days or older. For on-grade applications over concrete, measure the Moisture Vapor Emission Rate (MVER) per ASTM F1869. MVER shall not exceed 3 lb/1000 ft² per 24 hours. Prime wood subfloors with Hacker Floor Primer per recommended specifications before installing underlayment.

Adequate ventilation shall be provided by the General Contractor (GC) to ensure proper drying of FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete. If necessary, the GC shall provide mechanical ventilation. Depending on thickness and drying conditions, the underlayment should dry within 8 to 14 days. To avoid potential problems during the drying process, the GC shall consult Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Drying Conditions Flyer and information contained on Hacker Industries, Inc.’s website for additional information concerning drying of this product. After installation, temporary wood planking shall be placed by the GC wherever the floor underlayment will be subject to wheeled or concentrated loads.

Finished floor coverings can be installed when the FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete is completely dry. Consult flooring contractor for recommended procedures to test for dryness and acceptable levels of moisture. Reference Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Guidelines for Installing Finished Floor Coverings. This guideline is not a warranty and shall be used as a guideline only. See ASTM F2419.

Benefits

• Reformulated for modern floor coverings• Ideal for wood-frame, multi-family construction• Contributes to excellent STC and IIC ratings• Install over a FIRM-FILL® SCM or Hacker Sound Mat for additional sound isolation• Ideal underlayment for use over concrete slabs or precast concrete• UL fire rated designs for 1 to 2 hour fire ratings• Lightweight and crack-resistant• Fast installation and rapid set time; may be walked on in 90 minutes• Creates a flat, durable, non-structural underlayment surface for finished floor coverings• Installed only by trained Licensed Applicators across North America

Product Description

FIRM-FILL® 2010+ is designed for use over wood or concrete subfloors. It stiffens the subfloor to eliminate squeaks and nail pops. With additional surface hardness, FIRM-FILL® 2010+ provides compressive strengths from 2000 to 3200 psi (13.8 to 22 MPa). Depending on the compressive strength, it may be installed before or after drywall. To keep project on schedule and on budget, Licensed Applicators may install over 25,000 ft² of FIRM-FILL® 2010+ in one day.

FIRM-FILL® 2010+ is mixed on the job site with local sand (per ASTM C33) and water to create a lightweight slurry. Installed at a minimum of 3/4” thick, the underlayment weighs approximately 7.2 lb/ft² (35.2 kg/m²) with a dry density range of 105-115 pcf.

For new construction, FIRM-FILL® 2010+ is a cost-effective way to create a smooth, hard surface for finished floor coverings while offering exceptional compressive strengths matched with superior acoustical control and fire resistance properties. To achieve additional sound isolation, use FIRM-FILL® 2010+ with either a FIRM-FILL® SCM sound control mat or Hacker Sound Mat.

Limitations

• Do not use FIRM-FILL® 2010+ in exterior locations, below grade or where continuous exposure to moisture is likely.

• Shall not be used as a wear surface; must be covered by a finished floor covering.• Structure shall be designed so that deflection does not exceed L/360 live or dead load. Certain floor

coverings such as marble, limestone, travertine and wood may have more restrictive deflection limits.• If installed above a crawl space, subfloor must be protected by a vapor barrier.• No single application of FIRM-FILL® 2010+ shall exceed 3” in depth.• FIRM-FILL® 2010+ is one component of an effective sound and fire control system. Care must be taken in

the installation of all components to assure the ultimate design performance. Published acoustical and fire system tests were conducted under controlled laboratory or field conditions and reflect results applicable only to those specific assemblies.

Product Description

FIRM-FILL® 3310 Classic offers an innovative formulation that decreases the amount of water used while enhancing the rock-solid floor strength. The product’s rapid set time allows light foot traffic in 90 minutes. This versatile, high quality floor underlayment is widely used as an alternative to lightweight concrete in multi-family, light commercial and hospitality projects. FIRM-FILL® 3310 Classic provides compressive strengths from 2000 to 3300 psi (13.8 to 22.8 MPa). Depending on compressive strength, it can be installed before or after drywall. To help keep projects on schedule and on budget, Licensed Applicators can install over 25,000 ft² of FIRM-FILL® 3310 Classic in one day.

FIRM-FILL® 3310 Classic is mixed on the job site with local sand (per ASTM C33) and water to create a lightweight slurry. Installed at a minimum of 3/4” thick, the underlayment weighs approximately 7.6 lb/ft² (37 kg/m²) with a dry density range of 107-120 pcf.

For new construction, FIRM-FILL® 3310 Classic is a cost-efficient way to maximize sound control and create a smooth, flat and high-strength surface for finished floor coverings. To achieve additional sound isolation, use FIRM-FILL® 3310 Classic with either a FIRM-FILL® SCM sound control mat or Hacker Sound Mat.

Product Description

Specifically designed for new, thin laminates, this product’s rapid set time allows light foot traffic in 90 minutes. This versatile, high quality floor underlayment is widely used as an alternative to lightweight concrete in multi-family, light commercial and hospitality projects. FIRM-FILL® 3310+ provides compressive strengths from 3000 to 3900 psi (20.6 to 26.8 MPa). Depending on compressive strength, it can be installed before or after drywall. To help keep projects on schedule and on budget, Licensed Applicators can install over 25,000 ft² of FIRM-FILL® 3310+ in one day.

FIRM-FILL® 3310+ is mixed on the job site with local sand (per ASTM C33) and water to create a lightweight slurry. Installed at a minimum of 3/4” thick, the underlayment weighs approximately 7.6 lb/ft² (37 kg/m²) with a dry density range of 107-120 pcf.

For new construction, FIRM-FILL® 3310+ is a cost-efficient way to maximize sound control and create a smooth, flat and high-strength surface for finished floor coverings. To achieve additional sound isolation, use FIRM-FILL® 3310+ with either a FIRM-FILL® SCM or Hacker Sound Mat.

Limitations




• If installed above a crawl space, subfloor must be protected by a vapor barrier.• No single application of FIRM-FILL® 3310+ shall exceed 3” in depth.• FIRM-FILL® 3310+ is one component of an effective sound and fire control system. Care must be taken in

Prior to the installation of FIRM-FILL® High Strength, the subfloor shall be structurally sound (L/360), broom cleaned, dry and free from oil, grease, paraffin, laitance, wax or other contaminants. Concrete subfloors shall be 28 days or older. For on-grade applications over concrete, measure the Moisture VaporEmission Rate (MVER) per ASTM F1869. MVER shall not exceed 3 lb/1000 ft² per 24 hours. If required, prime concrete subfloors with Hacker Floor Primer per recommended specifications before installing underlayment. Multiple coats may be required.

Adequate ventilation shall be provided by the General Contractor (GC) to ensure proper drying of FIRM-FILL® High Strength. If necessary, the GC shall provide mechanical ventilation. Depending on thickness and drying conditions, the underlayment should dry within 7 to 10 days. To avoid potential problems during the drying process, the GC shall consult Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Drying Conditions Flyer and information contained on Hacker Industries, Inc.’s website for additional information concerning drying of this product.

After installation, temporary wood planking shall be placed by the GC wherever the floor underlayment will be subject to wheeled or concentrated loads.

Finished floor coverings can be installed when the FIRM-FILL® High Strength is completely dry. Consult flooring contractor for recommended procedures to test for dryness and acceptable levels of moisture. Reference Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Guidelines for Installing Finished Floor Coverings. This guideline is not a warranty and shall be used as a guideline only. See ASTM F2419.

Installation

Before, during and after the installation of FIRM-FILL® 4010+, the building must be enclosed and the temperature maintained at a minimum of 50°F (10°C). Prior to the installation of FIRM-FILL® 4010+, the subfloor shall be structurally sound (L/720), broom cleaned, dry and free from oil, grease, paraffin, laitance, wax or other contaminants.

Adequate ventilation shall be provided by the General Contractor (GC) to ensure proper drying of FIRM-FILL® 4010+. If necessary, the GC shall provide mechanical ventilation. Depending on thickness and drying conditions, the underlayment should dry within 7 to 12 days. To avoid potential problems during the drying process, the GC shall consult Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Drying Conditions Flyer and information contained on Hacker Industries, Inc.’s website for additional information concerning drying of this product.

Cracks in the existing concrete subfloor must be inspected to determine if the crack is due to typical concrete shrinkage, or if it is a result of a structural movement. In the case of the latter, remediation of the crack must be addressed lest the crack eventually telegraph through Hacker Industries, Inc. FIRM-FILL® 4010+. Repair all existing cracks in concrete substrate to minimize and control their ability to telegraph through the layer of Hacker Industries, Inc. FIRM-FILL® 4010+. Remove all weakened concrete along the length of the cracks by chiseling or other suitable means. Remove accumulated dust and debris from the crack cavities using a vacuum, or other suitable means. Various cracks present in the concrete subfloor, including shrinkage cracks, must be filled with a suitable commercially available crack-fill epoxy adhesive designed for concrete flooring applications. To ensure superior resistance to crack growth, use injection epoxy crack-repair techniques per industry guidelines to repair cracks that are active or deep. Note that repair of existing cracks in the concrete subfloor only subdues, but does not completely prevent their ability to telegraph through Hacker Industries, Inc. FIRM-FILL® 4010+ floor underlayment. Growth of existing cracks or formation of new cracks in the concrete subfloor may lead to cracks telegraphing through Hacker Industries, Inc. FIRM-FILL® 4010+ floor underlayment. Respect existing expansion and control joints.

Concrete subfloors receiving a Hacker Industries, Inc. FIRM-FILL® 4010+ underlayment must be cured properly (generally for a minimum of 28 days) prior to the underlayment installation. For on- or above- grade applications on concrete subfloors or concrete planks, measure the Moisture Vapor Emission Rate (MVER) using ASTM F1869. MVER should be below 3 lbs./1000 ft.2/24 hrs. Concrete subfloors should be treated properly with Hacker Industries, Inc. Concrete Primer according to its written recommendations, “Guidelines for Finished Floor Coverings for floor-covering installation.“

After installation, temporary wood planking shall be placed by the GC wherever the floor underlayment will be subject to wheeled or concentrated loads.

Attach perimeter isolation strip or approved alternative to the walls, conduit, flanges, ballasts, etc. in order to isolate or break the vibration transmission path between the floor and wall. Reinforcement is recommended in doorways and other high traffic or transition areas.

FIRM-FILL® SCM-125 is laid directly over the concrete, plywood or OSB subfloor, with the blue mesh down and white fabric side up. It should be pushed up tightly to the isolation barrier. Alternately, the FIRM-FILL® SCM-125 may be pushed up tightly to the gypsum wall board when the isolation barrier installed is FIRM-FILL® Perimeter Isolation. The gap between the floor and wall should not exceed 0.25” (6 mm).

FIRM-FILL® SCM-125 edge must be placed adjacent to other pieces without any gap. Rolls are manufactured with the self-adhesive selvage edge folded over on the fabric top. When unrolled, the selvage edge remains in position. Starting at the base of the roll, smooth the selvage edge to the adjacent piece. If necessary, tape (duct tape or 2” [51 mm]-wide tape) the 3” (76 mm) fabric overlaps snug to the fabric on the adjoining FIRM-FILL® SCM-125 strip. Tape all seams to prevent penetration into the core material during pour. Double tape seams if necessary.

Finished floor coverings can be installed when the FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete is completely dry. Consult flooring contractor for acceptable levels of moisture and recommended procedures to test for dryness. Reference Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Guidelines for Installing Finished Floor Coverings. This guideline is not a warranty and shall be used as a guideline only. See ASTM F2419.

PART I. GENERAL

1.1 Scope

The work of this section includes FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 to be placed under FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concretes.

1.2 Qualifications





PART II. PRODUCTS


FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 is a nominal 1/4” (6 mm), random filament, corrugated “U”- groove core sound control mat designed to limit impact noise between floors. Designed for critical applications in which FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete will be utilized. FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 prevents liquid moisture from passing through to the substrate, an essential quality for wood frame construction. FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 is a Class A fire-rated product. Use with a minimum 1” FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete topping.














3.2 Application

A. Scheduling

1. Installation of FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 shall not begin until other trades are finished in the area. Protect FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 from trade traffic prior to application of FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concretes.

B. Installation


2. FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 is laid directly over the concrete, plywood or OSB subfloor, with the red mesh down and white/red fabric side up. It should be pushed up tightly to the isolation barrier that was previously installed around the perimeter of the floor; the gap between the floor and wall should not exceed 0.25“ (6 mm). Alternately, the FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 may be pushed up tightly to the gypsum wall board when the isolation barrier installed is FIRM-FILL® Perimeter Isolation. The gap between the floor and wall should (6 mm). not exceed 0.25”



A. Taping and seams of FIRM-FILL® SCM-250 shall be checked and approved by the GC prior to the installation of FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concretes.

B. Install FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concretes at a minimum thickness of 1”.


RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS(CONT.)


RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS(CONT.)

D. Drying: The GC shall provide continuous ventilation and adequate heat to rapidly remove moisture from the area until the underlayment is dry. If necessary, the GC shall provide mechanical ventilation and heat. Do not install finished floor coverings until the FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concrete has been tested for dryness. Consult flooring contractor for recommended procedures to test for acceptable moisture levels. To avoid potential problems during the drying process, the GC shall consult Hacker Industries, Inc.’s Drying Conditions Flyer and Hacker Industries, Inc.’s website for additional information.




C. After finished floor covering is installed, trim the perimeter isolation strip below the finished flooring. Fill the groove with a bead of acoustical sealant or elastomeric sealant. Do not allow ceramic tile, grout or FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concrete to come in contact with the wall. Shim the molding above the finished floor covering and caulk with an acoustical sealant.




Specify FIRM-FILL® SCM-400 for additional impact noise control when a thicker sound mat is needed. It helps achieve higher delta numbers than thinner mats.

FIRM-FILL® SCM-400 is a cost-effective way to address Impact Insulation Class (IIC) concerns. This sound mat offers great performance in wood or concrete construction.

FIRM-FILL® SCM-400 can be installed under a FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete Floor Underlayment to produce an exceptional vibration isolation floor system.

• An advanced solution for additional impact noise control between hard surfaces and carpeted areas

• Used in wood frame construction and as a component of a well designed floor/ceiling assembly

• Cost-effective way to address noise concerns and to improve IIC ratings


• Specify with a FIRM-FILL® Gypsum Concrete Underlayment
