testimonial
“I am exceptionally pleased with the Floating Floor system. I have been using this system for many years in all my flat conversion projects because it always gives far better results when tested and I have never had a test failure. Acousticel R10 has been a reliable and and effective product for us over the years. We highley recommend it as an isolated flooring system.”

description.
The Floating Floor System is designed to absorb and reduce the amount of footfall / impact sound & airborne (Talking) which penetrates poorly insulated floors.
This system is ideal if you are planning to lay a timber or wooden engineered, carpet, or laminate floor as your final surface. If you are planning on using carpet or a lightweight laminate and require a thinner system please see HERE.
The Floating Floor System provides you with an isolated floor similar to that installed in recording studios. In order to achieve this you need to use a number of our products listed below.
Your final hardwood floor covering should be spot bonded and secret nailed to the QuietBoard. Failure to use the Quietboard could result in your floorboards possibly being too flexible and the floor being too soft under foot.
If used with our Studio Ceiling System on the ceiling below, the Floating Floor System should pass the Part E Building regulations for house converstion and new builds.
We have created this easy to order system for you but all the products can be purchased individually from other web pages on our site.
Supplied with the following products included;
1 x layer of R10 Floating Floor Resilient Insulation– ( 5m x 1m x 10mm thick) per Roll
1 x Layer of SBM5 Sound Barrier Mats – (1.8m x 1.2m / 6ft x 4ft) per mat
1 x layer of Quietboard Acoustic Flooring – (1200mm x 600mm x 18mm thick) per slab
Acoustic Sealant (380ml tube. 10.5 linear metres approx per tube)
As the R10 Floating Layer is produced using recycled rubber, soiling of the hands and clothes may occur during handling so protective measures are advised. There may be a slight odour from the rubber but this should quickly dissipate once installed with the floor on top.
The system is fairly easy to fit with medium D.I.Y experience or 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.

We advise to always add a few extra of each product to allow for wastage from offcuts. Some materials are hard for us to calulate so please ensure you either add a few extra or work out the exact amount before ordering.
Please note: This system is effective at reducing normal noise levels, that should not normally be heard, for example talking, radio, TV sound and footfall noise. Louder music and bass noise will always be audible although its intensity will be reduced. Installing our Studio Ceiling System below the floor will greatly help.
