Formulated Materials Launches Elite Max Acoustic Solutions

Formulated Materials, LLC has recently announced two groundbreaking products, the Treadstone Elite Max™ Premium Acoustic Underlayment and the 2X Drip Edge Anodized T-Bar. Both innovations showcase the company's commitment to improving construction materials and addressing the key challenges in the industry related to sound control and water management.

Addressing Key Market Needs

Since its inception in 2010, Formulated Materials has been focused on advancing engineering processes and product designs. These new additions are no exception, responding directly to the constraints and failures commonly encountered in traditional acoustic and waterproofing systems. By addressing these performance gaps, the company aims to facilitate more efficient installations and enhance overall effectiveness in multi-story construction.

Elite Max Premium Acoustic Underlayment

The Elite Max underlayment has been engineered to tackle the sound transmission issues often seen with traditional systems. Many conventional underlayments rely on several layers and intricate installation processes, which can often lead to installation gaps and sound leakage.

Elite Max resolves this issue with:
Built-in adhesive seam technology to minimize installation gaps.
Fastener-free design that helps maintain sound isolation integrity.

Technical Specifications

Surpasses International Building Code (IBC) standards for Impact Insulation Class (IIC) and Sound Transmission Class (STC).
Compatible with various flooring types, including vinyl, wood, tile, and carpet.
Supports pour depths from 1 inch to over 2 inches with UL-classified cementitious underlayment systems.
Comes in rolls covering 150 square feet and features a thickness of 0.375 inches (3/8 inch).

This innovative underlayment is perfect for high-end residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects that require sophisticated sound isolation solutions between flooring levels.

2X Drip Edge T-Bar

The 2X Drip Edge T-Bar is designed to combat the prevalent issue of alkaline water migration along concrete edges, which can lead to staining and long-term facade damage. This product features:
A patent-pending secondary drip edge design that effectively redirects moisture away from the building.
Premium construction using 6063 aluminum with a T5 temper for durability and strength.
Several anodized finishes available including clear, bronze, black, and marine green.

Engineering Features

Built-in secondary drip edge for improved water control.

The product measures 0.058 inches (1.47mm) in thickness with a 3-inch (76.2mm) nail flange for easy installation.

Market Applications and Availability

The Elite Max acoustic underlayment is tailored for projects that demand superior sound isolation, making it an optimal choice for multi-story residences, commercial spaces, and mixed-use developments. Similarly, the 2X Drip Edge T-Bar addresses vital needs in protecting concrete edges in environments where appearance and performance are critical.

Both of these innovative products are now available through Formulated Materials' extensive network of licensed dealers throughout North America. The company ensures that customers are supported with installation training, detailed technical specifications, and robust system warranties.
