Acoustic Underlays

Acoustic underlay is a specialised material utilised beneath flooring surfaces to improve sound insulation and minimise the transmission of impact noise. It plays a crucial role in creating quieter indoor environments by effectively reducing footsteps, machinery noise, and other impact sounds.

This underlay is versatile and compatible with a range of flooring materials such as laminate, hardwood, vinyl, and carpet. Its application is especially advantageous in multi-story buildings, apartments, and areas where maintaining effective noise control is essential for a comfortable living or working space.

They are typically composed of materials like rubber, foam, or felt, acoustic underlay is selected for its sound-absorbing and dampening properties. During installation, it is placed between the structural floor and the finished flooring surface. This additional layer absorbs impact energy, preventing sound vibrations from travelling through the structure and providing an efficient solution for sound insulation.

Offering various thicknesses and densities, acoustic underlay allows for customisation to meet specific project requirements. By contributing to compliance with building regulations related to noise control, acoustic underlay significantly enhances the overall quality of indoor spaces, fostering a quieter and more acoustically pleasant environment.
