difference was enormous. It made a huge difference to both parties and
helps to keep the peace between us too!"

description.
Our acoustic floor system designed to improve
both the impact and airborne noise transfer through floors. The
laminated composition provides maximum performance for minimum
thickness and combines excellent sound insulation with all the
qualities of a good carpet underlay. It is quick and easy to install
and is easily cut and shaped. Overall thickness is just 12mm so it
minimises the increase in floor level.
This product comprises a recycled 8mm layer of sound absorbing chip
foam bonded to a top layer of 5kg mineral loaded soundproofing mat and
a base layer of 3Kg mineral loaded soundproofing mat. The base layer of
barrier mat seals and damps the sound coming through the floor, the
isolated top layer of barrier mat reduces the sound penetration both
ways and the sound absorbing chip foam core dramatically absorbs and
reduces impact noise transfer.
QuietFloor can also be bonded to concrete floors to meet the
new Approved Document E Building Regulations for impact noise and is
ideally glued down using our special spray adhesive. We
would advise taping over the seams with our PVC
Tape
We also advise applying it to the steps and risers of communal
stairs to comply with the latest Document E requirements for noise
control.

(A carpet will reduce this even
