Acousti-Board Ultra - Natural Fiber Soundproof Backer and Tackboard

Acousti-Board Ultra - Natural Fiber Soundproof Backer and Tackboard

Acousti-Board Ultra™ Soundproof Backer
A Sustainable, Natural Fiber Drywall Backer Board

Acousti-Board Ultra™ is a cost-effective, sustainable solution for enhancing acoustic performance of wall assemblies. Made from 50% pre-consumer recycled synthetic fiber, this sound-dampening backer adds density and acoustic mass to wall systems—helping reduce airborne sound transmission while staying concealed behind the finished surface.

Tackable, lightweight, and easy to install, Acousti-Board Ultra™ is typically applied directly to studs using finish nails before drywall installation. It’s an ideal choice for projects requiring an unobtrusive sound control layer with sustainability at its core.

Key Benefits:

  • Contributes to greener building practices
  • Enhances STC performance of wall assemblies
  • Economical and efficient
  • Tackable surface for added functionality when used behind stretched fabric as a wall panel or tack board
  • Simple installation with conventional tools

Achieve better acoustics and meet environmental goals—without compromising design intent.

Specification
  • When architects and builders look for a way to strengthen wall assemblies without compromising design, they often turn to Acousti‑Board Ultra™ Soundproof Backer. This sustainable acoustical drywall backer is crafted from 50% pre‑consumer recycled synthetic fiber, making it not only a recycled soundproofing backer board but also an eco‑friendly acoustic board that supports green building acoustic backer board practices and contributes as a LEED credit contributing acoustical board.

    Behind the finished surface, Acousti‑Board Ultra™ works quietly but effectively. Acting as a sound absorption board and sound reducing backer, it adds density and acoustic mass to walls, helping to reduce airborne noise transmission. Whether specified as a drywall acoustic backer, an acoustic backer board for drywall assemblies, or a soundproofing board for residential walls, it consistently enhances STC‑rated acoustical drywall backer performance. In commercial settings, it serves as noise control panels for commercial buildings, delivering reliable results in offices, classrooms, and hospitality spaces.

    The board’s versatility is one of its greatest strengths. With a tackable acoustic wall panel core and tackable acoustic core board surface, it can double as a substrate behind stretched fabric systems or tack boards. Its NRC rated acoustical backer board properties ensure measurable improvements in sound absorption, while its classification as a high‑performance acoustics board makes it suitable for demanding projects.

    Durability is built in. As an impact‑resistant acoustic board and durable compressed fiber acoustic board, Acousti‑Board Ultra™ stands up to long‑term use. It is also a mold and mildew resistant acoustical backer, a fire‑rated acoustic drywall backer board, and a low VOC acoustic wall panel option—ensuring safety, health, and compliance with building codes.

    Installation is straightforward. Lightweight and easy‑to‑install acoustical drywall backer board, Acousti‑Board Ultra™ is typically applied directly to studs with finish nails before drywall installation. This simplicity makes it an economical and efficient choice for projects that demand both performance and practicality.

    In every application, Acousti‑Board Ultra™ proves itself as more than just another acoustical drywall backer board. It is a sustainable acoustical drywall solution that combines soundproof drywall backer performance with environmental responsibility. From noise control panels for commercial buildings to soundproofing boards for residential walls, it delivers the high‑performance acoustics board results designers and builders need—while helping them achieve their environmental goals without compromise.
