Extremely effective in improving the soundproofing performance of floor/ceiling assemblies.
Floating Floor for Mass Timber
GenieMat® RF is a cost-effective continuous underlayment designed for light to moderate topping loads common in timber construction, such as wood frame and mass timber. It offers a high coefficient of friction to prevent slippage during installation and includes an integrated poly layer to protect timber from concrete staining. Lightweight and easy to roll out—no adhesive needed—it’s approved for exterior use prior to enclosure, qualifies for LEED® points, and is composed of 92% recycled content.

The GenieMat® RF is our specialized formulation for lighter-weight systems. The RF series is optimized for the lower-to-moderate loads typical of mass timber construction, such as 2-inch concrete toppings.
A high coefficient of friction ensures the mat stays in place during the installation process of reinforcements and concrete. This allows for a reliable setup without the need for adhesive or fasteners, which can short-circuit the system and defeat the purpose of the acoustic isolation.
No. The system is designed to be loose-laid. For a complete installation, simply install GenieMat® PMI around the perimeter and vertical penetrations, unroll the GenieMat® RF, and seal all seams with GenieMat® Tape to create a water-tight “tub” for the topping.
Yes, the GenieMat® RF is approved for exterior installations prior to the building being enclosed.
The GenieMat® RF is composed of 92% recycled content and can contribute to a project’s eligibility for LEED® points, provides improved acoustic performance, and meets CDPH VOC requirements. Reach out to our team for a full list of LEED® credits the GenieMat may contribute.
