Concrete floor impact results

Due to the high mass of concrete flooring, acoustic underlays are only used to reduce impact noise.

200mm Concrete flooring

Without soundproofing 79dB

With 9mm Acoustic Underlay 54dB

Note: Every 10 decibels(dB) reduction in noise level is roughly perceived as a halving of the perceived loudness. So, for instance, if you have a sound that measures 70dB and it decreases to 60dB, it would sound about half as loud to the human ear. Decibels explained.

Fitting Noisestop F7 Acoustic Underlay 9mm

• Laid directly over the existing sub-floor
• Loose-laid has no requirement to bond to the floor. Part E requires bonding for new builds and conversions.
• Butt the edges together
• Reduce movement with High Tack Tape along the joins
• Cut to size using a sharp knife or a fine toothsaw

Carpet as the floor finish

Acoustic underlays can be used directly below the carpet. When installing the underlay, consider using the perimeter edging strip to ensure the gripper rods are at the same height as the carpet. The gripper rods and perimeter edging should be nailed to the floor using 30mm nails.

Hard floor finishes equal to or less than 15mm

Hard floor finishes, including laminate, engineered, and tiles, should use a resilient layer between the soundproofing and the floor finish. We recommend 9mm MDF T&G interlocking sheets. The layers are secured using a floor-grade adhesive such as Isobond floor adhesive. To prevent potential flanking sound from the floor to the walls, isolate the flooring with isolation tape affixed to the walls.

Hard floor finishes over 15mm

Floor finishes over 15mm can be installed directly on the soundproof mats. Secure the flooring using the Isobond adhesive. Isolate the flooring using isolation tape fixed to the wall to prevent potential flanking sound from transmitting from the floor to the walls.

Delivering soundproofing throughout the UK

Due to the nature of most of the materials we supply, orders are typically delivered on pallets.

All orders will be carefully wrapped, protected, and securely palletised to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition. Goods will be delivered as near to the property as possible. The drivers will not be able to carry orders into your property.

Deliveries are made between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

We charge a flat delivery rate of £60 plus VAT for most palletised deliveries. We do not charge per pallet, regardless of the number of pallets used to deliver your order.

Certain postcodes will incur a higher delivery charge than our standard rate, including those in Northern Ireland, Northern Scotland, and the Islands off the mainland.

Orders placed for items weighing less than 20kg will be sent via courier for £20 plus VAT.

We have a high stock level and typically deliver orders in approximately three to four working days.
