Model MWIP Wall Isolation Pad, Architectural Non-Seismic
The MWIP Series masonry wall isolation pads are for use in block wall construction. The MWIP Series are designed to eliminate noise transmissions in two-wall isolation systems by mounting the pads at the base of floating masonry walls.
Separating one wall from another via wall isolation systems significantly increases sound transmission losses. When noises entering through a structure disturb an adjacent space, the MWIP pads are used to isolate one space from another within a two-wall system.
The MWIP Pads support the inner, or floating, block wall from the floor – providing isolation from vertical wall movements. The mountings are installed at the base of the floating block wall and serve as permanent supports as well as isolation elements. The MWIP Series combine a steel plate that the masonry blocks rest on with a neoprene pad that rests on the floor.
