This helps improve communication between occupants by reducing noise interference. The materials used in acoustic underlays, such as foam, cork, and natural rubber, contribute significantly to reducing vibrations and sound transmission. The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and suitable for both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts.
The use of underlays extends to various applications, including renovation projects. Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems.
Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to address either airborne or impact noise. Floating floor systems also benefit from acoustic underlays, which provide an extra layer of soundproofing beneath the flooring material. Looking to dampen noise in your office then use acoustic underlay under your floor.
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.
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. Acoustic underlays function by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which minimizes noise transmission through flooring. 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.
Impact noise results from activities such as walking, moving furniture, or using appliances like washing machines, while airborne noise includes conversations, music, and television. 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.
By utilizing high-density materials like crumb rubber and cork, acoustic underlays efficiently control noise, reducing its impact on people in adjacent rooms or units. This process involves the transformation of sound energy into heat, which then dissipates harmlessly.
Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, supporting sustainable building practices. Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is essential to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry.

Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool. The choice of acoustic underlay depends on the type of noise that needs to be managed. During renovations, installing acoustic underlays can significantly enhance the acoustic properties of existing floors, whether in residential or commercial settings.
These options support sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution. Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics or design of the finished floor. During renovations, installing acoustic underlays can significantly enhance the acoustic properties of existing floors, whether in residential or commercial settings.
Acoustic underlays function by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, helping to minimize noise transmission through floors. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties that address either airborne or impact noise.
From managing noise pollution to improving energy efficiency, acoustic underlays are a versatile solution that supports both functionality and aesthetics in modern building design. 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 made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cork are ideal choices, as they balance both thermal insulation and soundproofing requirements. sound This process involves energy transformation, where sound waves are absorbed and converted into heat, which then dissipates harmlessly.
Underlays help to isolate vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the building structure and reducing their impact on adjacent rooms or units. Whether the flooring type is laminate, ceramic, or hardwood, Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays specifically engineered to complement the chosen material. 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.
Acoustic underlays are also compatible with a range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood. 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 space.
Lowering the sound transmission class (STC) and impact insulation class (IIC) ratings in a building helps create a more comfortable environment, especially in multi-story buildings where floors are connected through walls and joists, making noise control essential. 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.
These options promote sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution. These products ensure enhanced efficiency in both heating and noise control, providing comfort throughout the year.
By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays contribute to creating a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings. Acoustic underlay installed beneath wood or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms. Acoustic underlays work by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, helping to control noise and reduce its transmission through flooring.
Environmental considerations are central to the design of acoustic underlays. These options support sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution.
Airborne noise includes sounds like conversations, music, and television. Acoustic underlays absorb these sounds, resulting in improved room acoustics.
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. Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, often amplify sounds like footsteps, which can lead to unwanted echo and reverberation.
The use of recycled fibers and materials encourages recycling while reducing the environmental footprint of soundproofing installations. The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and can be carried out by both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by selecting underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings.
This process involves converting sound energy into heat, which then dissipates without causing disturbances. Acoustic underlay is a key solution for effective noise control in residential and commercial environments.
Impact noise results from vibrations caused by activities like walking, moving furniture, or using appliances such as washing machines. Environmental considerations are an important aspect of acoustic underlay design.
These products provide greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, offering comfort throughout the year. For instance, Tecsound underlays are often used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to add a layer of soundproofing that is effective against vibration and noise.
Acoustic underlays are designed to help with vibration isolation by absorbing and dissipating vibrations caused by activities like walking or moving heavy appliances. This reduces the transmission of vibrations through the floor, improving overall comfort.
