NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. — July 9, 2010 — Hacker Industries, Inc., a leading supplier of cementitious floor underlayments and acoustical control products, today announced the introduction of FIRM-FILL® SCM, a new, thinner sound control mat. FIRM-FILL® SCM is designed to lower the overall profile of the floor/ceiling assembly, while reducing the cost of the sound control system.

Intended to help limit impact sound transmission in multi-family construction, FIRM-FILL® SCM, a 3mm sound mat, is topped with ¾" (19mm) of a FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concrete. This low-profile design improves sound control performance as well as creates a smoother floor transition between hard surface and carpeted areas. To add tensile strength and reinforcement to the FIRM-FILL® Brand Gypsum Concrete, FIRM-FILL® SCM is made with a coated fiberglass scrim and fabric combination.

"Hacker Industries, Inc. is expanding their acoustical control mat offerings as part of our continued effort to provide reliable and cost-efficient sound control components," said Kerry Hacker, vice president of Hacker Industries, Inc. "We have found that the latest trend in floor underlayments and sound control mats is thinner applications which maintain high performance. FIRM-FILL® SCM addresses these new sound control challenges with this low-profile solution."
