Noisestop F7
Noisestop F7 acoustic floor mat is one of the most widely used soundproofing underlays in the UK. It provides sound insulation for timber and concrete floors, reducing both impact and airborne sounds. Noisestop F7 is used to soundproof floors in homes to reduce general household noises or create a floating floor for music studios and home cinema rooms. Using our acoustic underlay also helps separate floors in new build and conversion projects meet the required Building Regulations Part E by installing Noisestop F7 over the existing sub-floor.
