In residential buildings, whether in a semi-detached house or an apartment, acoustic underlays are often used under laminate flooring, hardwood, or carpets to reduce the noise that can travel through the walls, ceiling, and stairs. The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and can be carried out by both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. Whether in a single-family detached home or a semi-detached house, installing acoustic underlay ensures that daily activities do not negatively affect others in the building.
Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems. With acoustic underlays, these sounds are absorbed, contributing to improved room acoustics. Acoustic underlays work by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which helps to reduce noise transmission through floors.
This allows consumers to achieve their preferred aesthetics without sacrificing soundproofing performance. These underlays act as a cushion that minimizes the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor.

By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays contribute to creating a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial spaces. Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics and design of the finished floor. They are particularly effective when used with materials like ceramic tiles or floating floors, providing both sound insulation and comfort underfoot.
These options promote environmentalism by reducing the reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution. Most underlays come in sheets or rolls and can be cut to size using simple tools like a utility knife.
Adhesive or double-sided tape can be used to secure the underlay in place, ensuring tight seams between pieces to prevent gaps that could reduce performance. This allows consumers to achieve their preferred aesthetics without sacrificing soundproofing performance.
The compatibility with different floor finishes makes acoustic underlays an essential component of modern flooring design, creating a space that is both visually appealing and acoustically comfortable. Acoustic underlays are also effective for vibration isolation, particularly in areas with significant sources of vibration, such as near heating equipment or heavy appliances.
Acoustic underlays are versatile and suitable for use in various settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces like offices or retail environments. This process involves the transformation of sound energy into heat, which then dissipates harmlessly. Whether in a single-family detached home or a semi-detached house, the installation of acoustic underlay ensures that daily activities do not negatively affect others.
Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool. Materials used in acoustic underlays, including foam, cork, and natural rubber, are highly effective in reducing vibrations and controlling noise.
They are installed beneath the visible flooring material, meaning that the desired flooring-whether it is elegant hardwood, practical laminate, or cozy carpet-remains unchanged. Reducing sound transmission class (STC) and impact insulation class (IIC) ratings in a building contributes to creating a more comfortable space, particularly in multi-story buildings where floors are interconnected through walls and joists, making noise control essential. Acoustic underlays made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cork are ideal choices, as they balance both thermal insulation and soundproofing requirements.
The choice of acoustic underlay depends on the type of noise that needs to be managed. By choosing the appropriate product for the specific noise control requirement, homeowners and businesses can create a quieter, more comfortable environment.
Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by choosing underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings. Installing acoustic underlay beneath wood or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms.
With a range of materials, including cork, foam, natural rubber, and recycled fibers, Buildtec Acoustics ensures that there is an environmentally friendly and efficient product for every need. Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, are notorious for amplifying sounds like footsteps, creating unwanted echo and reverberation.
Acoustic underlays are versatile and suitable for use in many settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces such as offices or retail environments. Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by choosing underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings. Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is important to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry.
By utilizing high mass density materials, such as crumb rubber and cork, acoustic underlays offer efficient energy use through noise control, reducing the impact of sound on occupants in adjacent rooms or units. Adhesive or double-sided tape can be used to secure the underlay in place, while maintaining tight seams between the pieces to prevent gaps that may impact performance.
Acoustic underlays made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cork are ideal choices, as they balance both thermal insulation and soundproofing requirements. Acoustic underlays are compatible with various flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood.
Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with properties that address either airborne or impact noise.
When considering soundproofing methods, acoustic underlays are a reliable solution for reducing noise pollution, improving room acoustics, and creating a more comfortable environment. Underlays help isolate vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the building structure and reducing their impact on adjacent rooms or units. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays help create a peaceful environment, whether at home, in the office, or in commercial buildings.
Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by selecting underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings. In conclusion, acoustic underlays from Buildtec Acoustics offer an effective solution for soundproofing floors, improving room acoustics, and enhancing overall comfort.
Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is essential to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry. By selecting the right product for the specific noise control requirement, homeowners and businesses can create a quieter and more enjoyable atmosphere.
Floating floor systems also benefit from acoustic underlays, which provide an extra layer of soundproofing beneath the flooring material. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays help create a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings.
Yes, acoustic underlays can help reduce airborne noise, such as conversations or music, by providing an additional sound barrier beneath the flooring. This is achieved through the use of materials that absorb sound energy and prevent it from traveling through floors.
Acoustic underlays are highly effective in reducing both airborne and impact noise. Their ability to absorb sound vibrations makes them ideal for improving room acoustics and creating a quieter environment. The effectiveness varies depending on the material and thickness of the underlay.
Acoustic underlays are compatible with a wide range of flooring types, including wood, laminate, carpet, and ceramic tiles. The versatility of these underlays makes them suitable for different residential and commercial applications.
