ABOUT ACOUSTIC FLOORING

Acoustic insulation, particularly between apartments, has become an important issue since the publication of the new Building Regulations Part E which specify stringent performance standards. The most effective type of acoustic insulation is the floating floor system, which can be used on both solid floors and timber floors. It can also be applied to staircases.

The leading UK suppliers of acoustic flooring listed below the panel of sponsored links have comprehensive websites, with information on different types of acousting flooring and product catalogs.

Durabella is a leading supplier of acoustic floors and acoustic flooring. The Durabella acoustic flooring system comprises a three ply acoustic base, overlaid with a sound check layer. The final floor is a floor panel, eight millimetres thick, with edge locking.

Sound Reduction Systems Ltd supply the Acoustilay underlay for acoustic flooring. Acoustilay can be put down in the same way as a carpeting underlay, but provides improved acoustic insulation against both impact and airborne sound. It is between three and fifteen millimetres thick, and may be laid on a timber or concrete floor. It can be cut, like carpet underlay, with a carpet layer's knife.
