Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane represents a significant step up in soundproofing power for projects that demand maximum mass in a minimal profile. While standard membranes provide basic insulation, this 3.5mm thick barrier offers a substantial 7kg per square metre of high-density polymer. This increased mass is essential for tackling the most difficult acoustic challenges, particularly in multi-storey buildings where both airborne speech and structural impact noise are a constant concern. By integrating the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane into your construction, you are installing a high-performance barrier that outperforms traditional rigid materials.
Advanced Noise Control with Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane
The primary advantage of the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane lies in its unique visco-elastic composition. Unlike rigid building materials that can actually amplify or transmit sound through resonance, this membrane remains flexible and “dead.” It works by converting sound energy into trace amounts of heat, effectively stopping vibrations from traveling through walls and floorboards. This makes the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane an ideal choice for high-traffic residential areas, recording studios, and commercial spaces.

Elite Impact and Airborne Sound Reduction
Whether you are dealing with loud music (airborne noise) or heavy footsteps (impact noise), the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane provides a dual-action solution. Its 7kg/m² density acts as a heavy shield against sound waves, while its flexibility dampens the physical vibrations caused by movement on floors. This versatility is why the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane is frequently specified for industrial machinery rooms and vehicle soundproofing, where controlling structural resonance is just as important as blocking noise.
Strategic Applications for Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane
Because this membrane is non-adhesive, it is incredibly versatile for various installation methods. In timber joist floor systems, laying the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane creates a high-mass barrier that significantly upgrades the acoustic rating of the building. In wall applications, it can be draped or mechanically fixed behind plasterboard to add massive weight to lightweight stud partitions. It is also a critical component in metal roof soundproofing, where it silences the impact of rain and hail on large commercial decks. Its fire-resistant and self-extinguishing properties ensure that it meets strict safety standards across all residential and industrial settings.
Synergy with Professional Acoustic Systems
The Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane is designed to work in perfect harmony with our industry-leading Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) products and acoustic mineral wool. When used together, these materials create a “mass-spring” effect that provides a higher decibel reduction than any single material could achieve alone. For those looking to optimize their space, the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane offers a high-mass solution that does not require the thick, multi-layered board systems that often consume valuable floor area.
Installation and Technical Performance
Installing the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane is a straightforward process for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. The 5.0m x 1.2m rolls can be easily trimmed using a standard utility knife, allowing for a precision fit around sockets, pipes, and irregular corners. For floor installs, ensure the reinforcing scrim side faces upward before applying your final floor finish. For wall installs, the membrane should be secured tightly to prevent gaps, as even small air leaks can reduce the effectiveness of the soundproofing. When used with underfloor heating, the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane provides a thermal conductivity rating of 0.45 W/mK, making it a safe and efficient choice for modern homes.
In conclusion, the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane is the heavy-duty answer to modern noise pollution. It combines massive density with ease of use and long-term durability. By choosing the Tecsound 70 Acoustic Membrane, you are ensuring that your floors and walls are equipped with a professional-grade acoustic seal that will last for decades.
