Philadelphia Commercial Obelisk Acoustical Pad 12x24 Stone-Look Commercial Luxury Vinyl Tile

Philadelphia Commercial Obelisk Acoustical Pad (style #5742V) is a 12" x 24" commercial luxury vinyl tile with a factory-attached acoustical pad, bringing the marble, soapstone and slate visuals of the Obelisk collection to projects where sound control matters. The manufacturer lists a 58 IIC rating, which helps reduce impact sound reaching the room below. It is a light commercial tile with acoustical backing, finished with ExoGuard® and installed by direct glue, and Shaw recommends it for light-traffic multifamily, senior living and hospitality spaces. Six stone colors run from Carrara White to Charcoal Soapstone.

Best for: Upper-floor apartments and condos, senior living residences, hotel guest rooms, and assisted living suites with neighbors below.

Colors

• Charcoal Soapstone 00938: a dark smoky soapstone gray, the deepest tone available.
• Carrara White 01172: a clean, cool white marble visual.
• Beige Slate 01173: warm, medium beige-taupe slate.
• Ivory Soapstone 01174: a creamy off-white soapstone, warmer than Carrara White.
• Gray Slate 05214: a mid gray slate with a slight brown warmth.
• Light Grey Soapstone 05215: pale greige soapstone that softens bright rooms.

Why Choose Obelisk Acoustical Pad

• Attached acoustical pad with a listed 58 IIC rating
• Marble, soapstone and slate visuals from the Obelisk collection
• 12" x 24" tile format
• ExoGuard® finish for wear and stain protection
• Recommended for multifamily, senior living and hospitality

Installation Methods

Obelisk Acoustical Pad is approved for direct glue installation, with the padded tile adhered to the subfloor using the adhesive Shaw specifies. Gluing keeps the tiles stable in residential-style rooms while the pad does the sound-dampening work. A 12x24 tile is often laid in a straight grid or a one-third offset to avoid lippage. Have the substrate prepared and moisture-checked as Shaw's documents require; the spec sheet links to complete documentation.

Specifier Tips

Use Obelisk Acoustical Pad on upper floors and the standard Obelisk Glue Down in the same color on ground-floor common areas, so a building gets matching stone visuals while sound control goes where neighbors live below. Ivory Soapstone and Light Grey Soapstone keep senior living rooms bright; Beige Slate and Gray Slate are easier to keep looking clean.
