Impact noise, such as footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from appliances, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam. Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by selecting underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool.
Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlay products that cater to different needs, including those for underfloor heating systems. The compatibility with different floor finishes makes acoustic underlays an essential component in modern flooring design, helping to create a space that is both visually appealing and acoustically comfortable.
Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, tend to amplify sounds like footsteps, leading to unwanted echo and reverberation. In residential buildings, whether in a semi-detached house or an apartment, acoustic underlays are often installed under laminate flooring, hardwood, or carpets to reduce noise transmission through walls, ceilings, and stairs. Looking to dampen noise in your office then use acoustic underlay under your floor.
The underlays act as a cushion that helps to minimize the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. Acoustic underlays are compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood.
The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and suitable for both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. Acoustic underlays are versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces such as offices or retail environments. Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics or design of the finished floor.
The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and can be performed by both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. The use of recycled fibers and materials supports recycling efforts while minimizing the environmental footprint of soundproofing installations.
These underlays not only help reduce noise but also enhance thermal conductivity, supporting efficient heat transfer within the room. The choice of acoustic underlay also depends on the type of noise that needs to be controlled.
Additionally, these materials provide thermal insulation, improving the thermal resistance of a room while managing noise levels. These products ensure greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, providing comfort throughout the year.

The primary function of acoustic underlay is to address both impact noise and airborne sound. Installing acoustic underlay beneath wood flooring or laminate flooring can greatly reduce noise levels in rooms. With a wide variety of materials, including cork, foam, natural rubber, and recycled fibers, Buildtec Acoustics ensures that there is an environmentally friendly and efficient product to meet every need.
Underlays help to isolate vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the building structure and reducing their impact on adjacent rooms or units. Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, promoting sustainable building practices.
In residential buildings, whether in a semi-detached house or an apartment, acoustic underlays are often installed under laminate flooring, hardwood, or carpets to reduce noise transmission through walls, ceilings, and stairs. Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, often amplify sounds like footsteps, creating unwanted echo and reverberation. These options support sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution.
Acoustic underlays are compatible with a range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood. For example, underlays installed beneath medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or gypsum drywall help absorb vibrations and reduce unwanted sound transmission.
Most underlays come in sheet or roll form and can be cut to size using simple tools like a utility knife. During renovations, installing acoustic underlays can significantly improve the acoustic properties of existing floors, whether in residential or commercial settings.
Environmental considerations are an important aspect of acoustic underlay design. These materials also provide excellent thermal insulation, enhancing the thermal resistance of the room while controlling noise.
The use of underlays extends to various applications, including renovation projects. These products provide greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, supporting sustainable building practices.
This helps improve communication between occupants by reducing noise interference. Impact noise, such as footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from appliances, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam.
With a wide range of materials, including cork, foam, natural rubber, and recycled fibers, Buildtec Acoustics ensures that there is an environmentally friendly and efficient product to suit every need. Whether in a single-family detached home or a semi-detached house, installing acoustic underlay ensures that daily activities do not negatively impact others in the building. marketing

Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, often amplify sounds like footsteps, leading to unwanted echo and reverberation. These underlays act as a cushion that reduces the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. Impact noise, such as footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from a washing machine, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam.
Yes, acoustic underlays provide thermal insulation by adding an extra layer between the flooring and the subfloor. This helps to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room and can also contribute to energy efficiency by reducing heat loss.
Acoustic underlay is a material placed beneath flooring to absorb and reduce noise transmission. It works by converting sound energy into heat, thus minimizing the noise that passes through floors. Common materials used in acoustic underlays include cork, foam, and natural rubber, which effectively reduce both airborne and impact noise.
Yes, certain acoustic underlays are designed to be used with underfloor heating systems. These underlays have low thermal resistance, allowing efficient heat transfer while also providing noise reduction. It is important to choose the right type of underlay for compatibility with underfloor heating.
