Floor Soundproofing Products and Part E for Separating Floors

Soundproofing floor products and materials, soundproof floor materials, soundproofed floors stocked and supplied nationwide.

PRODUCTS TO REDUCE AIRBORNE NOISE

Quietfloor

A 15mm thick replacement acoustic underlay for carpets which is effective at reducing both impact and airborne noise through floors.  No additional underlay is necessary.

Sound Barrier Mats

SBM5 a 2mm thick, heavy sound barrier mat designed to add mass to timber floors resulting in reduced  airborne noise and more efficient when applied in multiple layers.  The more layers you have the better the  soundproofing of a floor becomes.

Tecsound T50

A sound barrier mat that is also non-flammable and available plain or self-adhesive and in 6m rolls but otherwise can be used and performs similarly to our popular SBM5

R10

This is the recycled resilient insulation that should be used to decouple a floor from the base floor creating a ‘floating floor’.  For best results this product should be used beneath our tongued and grooved QuietBoard.

G8

Our G8 is another recycled product but thinner and designed for use beneath concrete screeds to help meet Part E of the Building Regulations for the control of noise through concrete floors.

Quietboard

A heavy acoustic floorboard with tongue and grooved joints for use on timber joisted floors to add mass to help reduce airborne noise.  To obtain the best acoustic results QuietBoard should be used as the base floor on top of joists and also as a floating floor on top of R10 mentioned above.

Acoustic Underlays for Carpet, Laminate Floors and Lino or Vinyl 

A10

A 10mm acoustic underlay comprising recycled rubber and jute to form a more efficient underlay that will effectively absorb impact noise.  This product can also be glued on top of concrete floors to meet Part E of the Building Regulations compliance for the reduction of impact noise.

Laminate Floor Acoustic Underlay

This underlay is designed togive a more efficient performance in absorbing impact nosie when used to decouple laminate floors  from the base floor.   Can also be used beneath thin, engineered wood floors.

Linoroll

Linoroll is a 5mm black, acoustic underlay for use beneath lino and vinyl and is produced from recycled rubber.  When used with the thin MDF tongue and grooved floorboards gives excellent results in reducing impact noise transference through floors.

MDF Tongue & Groove Floor Boards

These thin 6mm t&g floor boards should be used on top of the Linoroll mentioned above to give more support to the flexible floor covering such as vinyl.  Without this the floor would be too soft and more easily punctured when walked on with high heeled shoes.

Soundproofing for Between Joists

SoundBlocker Quilt

Because this product has a sound barrier type acoustic membrane sandwiched within it, it performs better than normal mineral wool when used as part of a floor soundproofing upgrade.

AMW Type Acoustic Mineral Wool

This is the more normal acoustic infill used between the joists of timber suspended floors and should be used along with other acoustic products as part of any upgrade when improving the sound insulation of a floor.

Acoustic Thermafleece

Thermafleece can be used for both thermal and acoustic insualtion and is the greener alternative to mineral wool when used as the acoustic infill between the floor joists.  For best results should be used along with other acoustic products when upgrading the soundproofing of a floor.

ROBUST DETAIL COMPLIANT PRODUCTS for Separating Floors

Acoustic Cradle System For Isolating Battens

Acoustic Cradles are produced with a resilient insulation on the underside to absorb impact noise through floors and the cradles will support battens on which the floorboards would be fitted.  Superior to resilient battens they can be used on uneven floors to form a level walking surface.

Isorubber Top

Isorubber Top is a 3mm thick  recycled rubber & cork composite which can be used to bring concrete floors into compliance with PART E & Robust Detail E-FC-9 & 10 for impact noise reduction.

PART E SYSTEMS For Separating Floors

Using Acousticel R10 to Create a Floating Floor

Acousticel R10 is the resilient layer that should be used beneath 18mm tongue and grooved QuietBoard acoustic flooring to create a floating floor as part of the treatment to bring a separating floor into Part E compliance for the control of noise penetration through the floor.

Using Acousticel R10 Beneath a Concrete Screed to Isolate Impact noise

Acousticel R10 when used to decouple a 65mm concrete screed on top of a concrte floor will meet Part E for the control of both airborne and impact noise.

Additional Accessories for use on Floors

Anti-Vibration Pad

This 10mm thick anti-vibration pad is designed to isolate noise and vibrations from floors from appliances such as washing machines, other white goods and treadmills along with many others such as domestic pumps.

PVC Jointing Tape

A 50mm wide, black PVC tape for keeping the joints of  QuietFloor Plus acoustic underlay for floors tightly butted together.

Resilient Self-Adhesive Foam Tape

This self adhesive foam rubber acoustic tape can be used to isolate floor battens from base floors and floor boards from joists to help reduce impact noise transmission through a floor.

Sta-Stuck Spray Adhesive

Sta-Stuk special aerosol contact adhesive with adjustable spray pattern can be used for bonding our soundproofing materials to floors when a more permanent fix is required.

 

Acoustic Sealant

Our Acoustic Sealant is a flexible, high density product that can be used to seal the edges of floating floors and also joints of existing floor boards.  The product is also intumescent and so fire resistant.
