Acoustic flooring and soundproof insulation

Acoustic flooring solutions that soundproof wooden floors. Noisestops range of acoustic floors includes acoustic underlays, floating floorboards and acoustic insulation. Restore quiet with one of these acoustic flooring solutions.

Soundproofing floors

Reduce the passage of sound between wooden floors with floor soundproofing that reduces airborne and impact noise.

Noisestop offers a variety of flooring solutions to meet the required sound insulation performance and works well with the existing construction and the final floor finish.

The best flooring solutions to reduce impact sounds are products that lay over the floor. The most effective impact sound reducing materials are soundproof underlays and floating floorboards. Acoustic floor underlays go over an existing floor, and acoustic floorboards are fitted over existing flooring or directly to the joist.

The most effective method of soundproofing floors against airborne noise is to add mass to the floor. The best way to add mass is to use acoustic insulation between the floor joists or an acoustic underlay over the floorboards.

Soundproofing Floors FAQs

Impact noise through floors refers to the sounds generated by impact or physical contact on a floor surface that transmits to the space below. This could be footsteps, dropping objects, dragging furniture, or any action that causes vibrations and sound transmission through the floor’s structure.

Soundproofing materials, acoustic underlays, and floating flooring options are used to reduce the impact noise that travels between floors. Our Noisestop F7 Plus and Noisestop Acoustic Underlay are the best soundproof mats. The Noisedeck range of interlocking floating floors includes the Noisedeck 32, a direct to joist system and the Noisedeck 19, a floor overlay system.

Installing soundproofing to the floor will give you the best results in reducing impact noise. However, ceiling solutions are also available to reduce impact noise from below.

Airborne noise refers to sound that travels through the air, like voices, music, or TV noise. To soundproof against airborne noise, you add mass and absorption materials to the floor.

Materials such as acoustic insulation and soundproof mats all help reduce airborne sound transfer between floors. The Noisestop F7 Plus is our highest performing acoustic underlay. Acoustic insulation DFM 100mm between floor joists is another way of increasing the mass and absorption of wooden floors.

You can lay the carpet directly onto acoustic underlays. You might use them in conjunction with a traditional carpet underlay for added comfort.

If the flooring you are using is below 14mm thick and you are using one of the acoustic underlays, you would need to use a resilient layer over the soundproofing to support the floor finish. Flooring over 14mm, such as engineered flooring and natural wooden floors, can be laid directly over the underlays.

Interlocking floors in the Noisedeck range already have a suitable base for any floor finish, so they do not require further treatment.

When installing soundproofing for your floors in these spaces, avoid directly placing kitchen units, baths, sinks, or toilets onto the soundproofing. To maintain consistent floor heights, employ a plinth beneath these items to ensure everything stays at the proper level.
