Description
Noisestop Impact Mat
The Noisestop Impact Mat is a durable recycled product developed to reduce impact noise through floors. Use the soundproof rolls below any floor finish type, including wood, laminates, and floor tiles. The mats are a compound of cork and rubber granules. This combination of materials ensures the Noisestop soundproof mat is a cost-effective soundproofing concrete and wooden floor structure. Suitable for use on new build and conversion projects that comply with Part E Building Regulations, use Isobond adhesive to secure the mats to the floor, following Part E regulations for flooring. Ease of installation also makes this an excellent choice for homeowners as part of a DIY floor soundproofing solution when you want to reduce the sound of movement from the floor above.

Installation
The acoustic matting can be installed over timber and concrete floors. Once the mats have been fitted, the floor finish can be laid directly over the top. Alternatively, specialist underlays can be laid directly over the top if required for the installed floor type. Use Isobond adhesive to secure the mats to the sub-floor or the resilient layers if required.
- Install flanking band treatment to the perimeter of the rooms before you begin. Isolation tape should be used around the perimeter of the room. Reducing flanking noise transferring into the wall.
- Roll out the Noisestop soundproof mats perpendicular to the direction of your floor finish.
- Trim any excess with a sharp knife.
- Use heavy-duty masking tape to secure the edges and joints of the mats to prevent them from moving.
- Suppose the underlay requires gluing down, which you must do if your project is a conversion, or new build, use a floor grade adhesive applied with a notched trowel. Ensure enough time for the adhesive to set before laying the finished floor.
- If you install a floating floor of chipboard or cement board over the underlay, glue the boards together, not the mat.
- If the flooring needs fixing to the underlay, you should avoid nails or screws and adhere the flooring to the underlay.
- Always check the suitability of the adhesive before applying it across the whole floor area.
- Grouted flooring materials should be installed in a thin or thick-set mortar bed applied directly over the matting. We do not recommend installing tiles smaller than 100mm x 100mm in this way. A secondary resilient layer should adhere to the mats first.
