Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by choosing underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings. Looking to dampen noise in your office then use acoustic underlay under your floor. The use of acoustic underlay under wood flooring or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms. The reduction of sound transmission class (STC) and impact insulation class (IIC) ratings in a building helps in making the space more comfortable.
By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays help create a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings. From managing noise pollution to improving energy efficiency, acoustic underlays are a versatile solution that supports both functionality and aesthetics in modern building design.
Buildtec Acoustics provides a diverse range of acoustic underlays specifically designed to address both airborne and impact noise, making them suitable for various flooring applications such as wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and laminate flooring. 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.
Adhesive or double-sided tape can be used to secure the underlay in place, while ensuring tight seams between pieces to prevent gaps that may reduce performance. This helps enhance communication between occupants by reducing noise interference.
The primary purpose of acoustic underlays is to manage both impact noise and airborne sound. For instance, Tecsound underlays are commonly used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to add an additional layer of soundproofing that is effective against vibration and noise. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to address either airborne or impact noise.
Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems. The compatibility with different floor finishes makes acoustic underlays an essential component of modern flooring design, helping to create a space that is both visually appealing and acoustically comfortable.
The materials used in acoustic underlays, such as foam, cork, and natural rubber, are highly effective at reducing vibrations and controlling noise. The use of recycled fibers and materials helps promote recycling, while minimizing the environmental footprint of soundproofing installations.
They are installed beneath the visible flooring material, meaning that the desired flooring-whether elegant hardwood, practical laminate, or cozy carpet-remains unaltered. 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 meet every need.

Acoustic underlays help absorb these sounds, resulting in better room acoustics. For instance, Tecsound underlays are commonly used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to add an additional layer of soundproofing that is effective against vibration and noise. They are particularly effective when used with materials like ceramic tiles or floating floors, providing both sound insulation and comfort underfoot.
By selecting the right product for the specific noise control requirement, homeowners and businesses can create a quieter, more comfortable environment. They are particularly effective when used with materials like ceramic tiles or floating floors, providing both sound insulation and comfort underfoot.
These products provide greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, ensuring comfort throughout the year. These products provide greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

These options promote environmentalism by reducing the reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution. These options promote sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and minimizing overall pollution. During renovations, installing acoustic underlays can significantly improve the acoustic properties of existing floors, whether in residential or commercial settings.
Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to handle either airborne or impact noise. When discussing soundproofing options, acoustic underlays offer an efficient means to reduce noise pollution, enhance room acoustics, and create a comfortable environment.
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. Installing acoustic underlays beneath carpets in office spaces helps mitigate foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving the room's dynamics.
The use of recycled fibers and materials helps encourage recycling while minimizing the environmental footprint of soundproofing installations. The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and can be performed by both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts.

This helps improve communication between occupants by reducing noise interference. During renovation, installing acoustic underlays can significantly improve the acoustic properties of existing floors, whether in a residential or commercial setting.
In rooms with underfloor heating, selecting an underlay with low thermal resistance allows heat to transfer efficiently without being blocked by the soundproofing material. The materials used in acoustic underlays, such as foam, cork, and natural rubber, are highly effective at reducing vibrations and controlling noise.
Installing acoustic underlays beneath carpets in office spaces helps mitigate foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving room dynamics. In commercial settings, reducing noise pollution creates a more productive and pleasant work environment, enhancing overall efficiency.
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. 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.
Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool. In commercial environments, the reduction of noise pollution creates a more productive and pleasant working space, enhancing overall efficiency. Installing acoustic underlay beneath wood or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms.
Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is essential to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry. Installing acoustic underlay beneath wood flooring or laminate flooring can greatly reduce noise levels in rooms.
Impact noise, such as footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from appliances, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam. Whether the flooring type is laminate, ceramic, or hardwood, Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays specifically designed to match the selected material.
When talking about soundproofing solutions, acoustic underlays are an effective option for reducing noise pollution, improving room acoustics, and creating a quieter and more comfortable living or working environment. Airborne noise, on the other hand, includes sounds such as conversations, music, and television.

Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is essential to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry. 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.
Many acoustic underlays are made from environmentally friendly materials, such as recycled crumb rubber, cork, and natural wool. These sustainable materials reduce the need for virgin resources and help lower overall pollution. Additionally, some products are LEED certified, supporting sustainable building practices.
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.
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.
