Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is important to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry. The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and accessible to both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems. Looking to dampen noise in your office then use acoustic underlay under your floor.
Acoustic underlays are compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood. 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.
This allows consumers to achieve their preferred aesthetics without sacrificing soundproofing performance. Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems.
Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, supporting sustainable building practices. Acoustic underlays are also beneficial for vibration isolation, especially in spaces where there are significant sources of vibration, such as near heating equipment or heavy appliances.
Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to address either airborne or impact noise. 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. 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.
The use of underlays extends to various applications, including renovation projects. This helps improve communication between occupants by reducing noise interference.

Acoustic underlays are also effective for vibration isolation, particularly in spaces with significant sources of vibration, such as near heating equipment or heavy appliances. Whether the flooring type is laminate, ceramic, or hardwood, Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays that are specifically designed to work with the chosen material. For example, underlays installed beneath medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or gypsum drywall can help absorb vibrations and reduce unwanted sound transmission.
Floating floor systems also benefit from acoustic underlays, which provide an extra layer of soundproofing beneath the flooring material. By selecting the appropriate product for the specific noise control requirement, homeowners and businesses can create a quieter, more comfortable environment.
Underlays help isolate vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the building structure and reducing their impact on adjacent rooms or units. With acoustic underlays, these sounds are absorbed, contributing to improved room acoustics.
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 are versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces like offices or retail environments.
This helps improve communication between occupants by reducing noise interference. Acoustic underlays help absorb these sounds, contributing to improved room acoustics. These underlays act as a cushion that minimizes the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor.
These underlays act as a cushion that reduces the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. Furthermore, these materials are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.
Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by selecting underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings. These options support sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution.
These underlays not only help with noise reduction but also improve thermal conductivity, promoting efficient heat transfer within the room. During renovations, installing acoustic underlays can significantly enhance the acoustic properties of existing floors, whether in residential or commercial settings.
Underlays help to isolate vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the building structure and reducing the impact on adjacent rooms or units. Including acoustic underlays in renovation projects also helps ensure compliance with building insulation standards and soundproofing regulations, providing peace of mind to homeowners and builders. Lowering sound transmission class (STC) and impact insulation class (IIC) ratings in a building helps create a more comfortable space, particularly in multi-story buildings where floors are interconnected through walls and joists, making noise control essential.
Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics or design of the finished floor. Acoustic underlays work by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which helps to reduce noise transmission through floors.
These products ensure greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, providing comfort throughout the year.
Lowering sound transmission class (STC) and impact insulation class (IIC) ratings in a building contributes to making the space more comfortable, particularly in multi-story buildings where floors are interconnected through walls and joists, making noise control a key concern. This process involves converting sound energy into heat, which then dissipates without causing disturbances.
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. Whether the flooring type is laminate, ceramic, or hardwood, Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays that are specifically designed to work with the chosen material. Airborne noise, on the other hand, includes sounds such as conversations, music, and television.
When considering soundproofing methods, acoustic underlays provide a reliable option for reducing noise pollution, enhancing room acoustics, and creating a quieter and more comfortable atmosphere. aesthetics Acoustic underlays help absorb these sounds, resulting in better room acoustics.
They are particularly effective when used with materials like ceramic tiles or floating floors, providing both sound insulation and comfort underfoot. The primary purpose of acoustic underlays is to manage both impact noise and airborne sound.
These products provide greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Installing an acoustic underlay beneath carpets in office settings can help reduce foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving the overall room dynamics.
Acoustic underlays are designed to absorb the vibrations caused by impact noise, such as footsteps or moving furniture. By using high-density materials like crumb rubber or cork, these underlays effectively reduce the transmission of vibrations, leading to quieter environments.
Acoustic underlays are highly effective in reducing both airborne and impact noise. Their ability to absorb sound vibrations makes them ideal for improving room acoustics and creating a quieter environment. The effectiveness varies depending on the material and thickness of the underlay.
