The Silver Floor Cavity System reduces airborne noise
when installed under the floorboards and is particularly useful if any increase in the existing floor height is not desired.
This Silver Floor Cavity Sound Insulation System for beneath floors is designed to improve the sound insulation of timber suspended floors so cannot be used on concrete floors. It is particularly useful if for any reason, it is not possible to install sound insulation on top of a floor and will help reduce airborne noise from both above and below.
This system also compliments further soundproofing that may be installed on top of the floor to further enhance the soundproofing properties of the treated joists. This system may also slightly reduce impact noise from the floor’s surface.
The products are installed as above
The main materials used are our SoundBlocker Membrane and SoundBlocker Quilt SBQ2 installed as can be seen below.
SoundBlocker Membrane
This innovative material is produced using synthetic rubber and special heavy fillers producing a revolutionary acoustic membrane.
This product is only 1.2mm thick and weighs just 2Kg/ m²so it’s easy to handle and carry.
SoundBlocker Quilt SBQ2
SoundBlocker Quilt SBQ2 consists of a laminate of 25mm mineral wool, 5Kg acoustic membrane and another 25mm mineral wool.
It performs up to 4 times better than our normal Acoustic Mineral Wool as it has a barrier layer sandwiched in the middle which helps block airborne sound as efficiently as lead.
The SoundBlocker Quilt SBQ2 exceeds the new building regulations when used as part of a system making it an attractive efficient product for modern construction.
The system is supplied with the following products included;
A layer of SoundBlocker Membrane – (12m x 1.25m and 1.2mm thick) per roll
1 x Layer of SoundBlocker Quilt SBQ2 – (5m x 600mm wide) per roll
If you have experience of lifting floorboards then the system will be easy to fit otherwise a local handyman or second fix carpenter could undertake the work.
Once ordered the products are all delivered to your door (Access Permitting) with full step by step install instructions.

PLEASE NOTE: The figures above are based on the whole floor area and do not allow for the joists widths. This may means the figure quoted for SoundBlocker Quilt SBQ2 may be slightly higher than needed.
We advise to always add a few extra of each product to allow for wastage from offcuts.
Please note: This system is effective at reducing normal noise levels, that should not normally be heard, for example talking, radio sound. We suggest you also use a suitable system on top of the floorboards as well. Music and bass noise will always be audible although its intensity should be reduced.
