Our range of floor products will reduce noise through all common floor types reducing the noise of footfall, conversation and amplified music.
The floor products listed in this category will enable you to soundproof all floors. In order to soundproof a floor effectively you will need to increase the mass of the floor or introduce an acoustic resilient layer.
- Acoustic underlays - Thin products to lay over existing floors in domestic situations
- Floating floors - Suitable for all floor types when high levels of noise reduction is needed. Ideal for conversions and new build developments
- Acoustic insulation - Good for reducing airborne noise transfer through floors
- Soundproofing accessories - Including perimeter edging, acoustic sealants and joist isolating strips
All the materials available from The Sound Solution can be installed by DIYers or local tradesman. We can provide guidelines to installing these products and advisers are ready to help with any questions you might have.
All products are supplied nationwide and most are available for dispatch within 72hrs of ordering. If you require a next day delivery please contact us to find out availability of the individual products.
Floor soundproofing underlay such as the NSSF7 or the NSSF7+ will reduce impact noise and low levels of airborne noise. Floating floors such as the Noisedeck Range can be used when a higher level of soundproofing is needed. Dense Fibre Matting is an ideal acoustic insulation used between floor joists to reduce airborne noise.
Reducing Impact Noise
Impact noise through floors is a common problem for both timber and concrete floors, adding a resilient layer underneath the floor finish is the best way of treating impact noise, reducing the noise at the source of the problem. The NSSF7 and NSSF7+ products are designed for this, we would advise that if using these products with floor finishes other than carpet a layer of 9mm ply is laid on top of the material before the floor finish to reduce movement on the finished floor. The Noisedeck range of floating floors, Noisedeck 32 and Noisedeck 36 are suitable for reducing high levels of impact noise as well as complying with Building Regulations Part E. Impact noise generated from vibration, such as white goods can be mounted on to the isolation mats which reduce the vibration transmitting into the floor.
Reducing Airborne Noise
Airborne noise transmitting through floors is due to a lack of mass in the floor construction, this is more common in timber floors rather than concrete floors due to the higher mass of the concrete. The DFM insulation placed between floor joists is the best way to reduce this type of noise, we recommend the 100mm 80kg density for most domestic applications, Building Regulations stipulates a minimum of 45kg density for new builds and conversions.
