RefleXor

RefleXor, is a thermo-acoustic membrane made from 100% recycled polyester fibres laminated to a metallic film. Its membrane has a thickness of 0.039” and it comes in roll sizes 4’ x 50’. The RefleXor, which is light and easy to handle, offers a continuous and effective sound barrier that will help the soundproofing process.

To install it you will simply need to apply the RefleXor membrane on the first layer of drywall using T50 (or similar) staples leaving a 4” overlap at the floor, at the ceiling and at any other seam, with the gold side facing the inside of the room. Then install the second layer of drywall conventionally, once the gold RefleXor membrane is in place and it’s done, no acoustic sealant is needed! This innovative wall and ceiling system, which combine RefleXor, minimize the complexities of soundproofing while offering superior results.
