Acoustic underlays made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cork are ideal choices, as they balance both thermal insulation and soundproofing requirements. Including acoustic underlays in renovation projects also helps ensure compliance with building insulation standards and soundproofing regulations, providing peace of mind for homeowners and builders. Looking to dampen noise in your office then use acoustic underlay under your floor. They are particularly effective when used with materials like ceramic tiles or floating floors, enhancing both sound insulation and comfort underfoot.
This helps improve communication between occupants by reducing noise interference. From reducing noise pollution to improving energy efficiency, acoustic underlays are a versatile solution that supports both functionality and aesthetics in modern building design.
In homes, whether it is a single-family detached home or a semi-detached house, the installation of acoustic underlay ensures that everyday activities do not have a negative affect on other occupants. The use of acoustic underlay under wood flooring or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms.
They are installed beneath the visible flooring material, meaning that the desired flooring-whether it is elegant hardwood, practical laminate, or cozy carpet-remains unaltered. Acoustic underlays are also beneficial for renovation projects.
Installing an acoustic underlay beneath carpets in office spaces can help mitigate foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving the room's dynamics. These products ensure greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, providing comfort throughout the year. They are effective when used with materials like ceramic tiles or floating floors, enhancing both sound insulation and comfort underfoot.
Whether the flooring type is laminate, ceramic, or hardwood, Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays that are specifically engineered to work with the chosen material. Acoustic underlays are valuable in renovation projects as well.

Impact noise occurs from activities such as walking, moving furniture, or using appliances like washing machines, while airborne noise includes sounds like conversations, music, and television. Acoustic underlays help to absorb these sounds, resulting in improved room acoustics. Acoustic underlays are highly versatile and can be used in a range of settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces like offices or retail environments.
Acoustic underlays are also effective for vibration isolation, particularly in areas with significant sources of vibration, such as near heating equipment or heavy appliances. When installing an acoustic underlay, it is important to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry.
Most underlays come in sheets or rolls and can be cut to size with simple tools like a utility knife. Installing acoustic underlay beneath wood or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms.
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. Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, often amplify sounds like footsteps, which can lead to unwanted echo and reverberation.
The primary role of acoustic underlay is to manage both impact noise and airborne sound. This allows consumers to maintain their desired aesthetics without sacrificing soundproofing performance. The use of recycled fibers and materials encourages recycling while reducing the environmental footprint of soundproofing installations.
Acoustic underlay is an effective solution for managing noise control in both residential and commercial spaces. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to address either airborne or impact noise.
These underlays act as a cushion that reduces the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. Floating floor systems also benefit from acoustic underlays, which provide an additional layer of soundproofing beneath the flooring material.
Acoustic underlays work by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which helps reduce noise transmission through the floor. In residential buildings, whether in a semi-detached house or an apartment, acoustic underlays are commonly installed under laminate flooring, hardwood, or carpets to reduce noise transmission through walls, ceilings, and stairs.
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. 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. 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 operate by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which reduces noise transmission through floors.
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. Installing acoustic underlay beneath wood or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms. Acoustic underlays are compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood.
Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, supporting sustainable building practices. The primary function of acoustic underlays is to address both impact noise and airborne sound.
These underlays not only help with noise reduction but also improve thermal conductivity, promoting efficient heat transfer in the room. Impact noise results from activities such as walking, moving furniture, or using appliances like washing machines, while airborne noise includes conversations, music, and television.
For example, Tecsound underlays are often used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to provide effective soundproofing against vibration and noise. This allows consumers to maintain their desired aesthetics without sacrificing soundproofing performance.
Acoustic underlays made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cork are ideal choices, as they balance both thermal insulation and soundproofing requirements. Whether the flooring type is laminate, ceramic, or hardwood, Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays specifically designed to complement the chosen material. Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool.
In rooms with underfloor heating, selecting an underlay with low thermal resistance ensures that heat transfers efficiently without being obstructed by the soundproofing material. These underlays act as a cushion that helps reduce the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor.
This process involves converting sound energy into heat, which then dissipates without causing disturbances. Acoustic underlays are also effective for vibration isolation, especially in areas where there are significant sources of vibration, such as near heating equipment or heavy appliances.
In commercial environments, reducing noise pollution creates a more productive and pleasant work environment, which enhances overall efficiency. Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems.
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.
Acoustic underlay is particularly useful in multi-story buildings where noise can easily transfer between floors. By installing acoustic underlays, impact noise such as footsteps is significantly reduced, making living or working in these environments more comfortable.
