Environmental considerations are central to the design of acoustic underlays. Looking to dampen noise in your office then use acoustic underlay under your floor. The materials used in acoustic underlays, such as foam, cork, and natural rubber, contribute significantly to reducing vibrations and sound transmission. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to handle either airborne or impact noise.
By utilizing high-density materials like crumb rubber and cork, acoustic underlays offer efficient noise control, reducing the impact of noise on people in adjacent rooms or units. Acoustic underlay is a critical solution for effective noise control in residential and commercial environments.
Airborne noise, such as music or conversations, can be reduced by choosing underlays with higher sound transmission class ratings. Additionally, these materials are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
These underlays act as a cushion that reduces the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays contribute to creating a peaceful environment, whether at home, in the office, or in a commercial setting.
The primary function of acoustic underlays is to address both impact noise and airborne sound. Additionally, these materials are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, tend to amplify sounds like footsteps, which can lead to unwanted echo and reverberation.
Adhesive or double-sided tape can be used to secure the underlay in place, while ensuring tight seams between pieces to prevent gaps that could reduce performance. These materials also provide excellent thermal insulation, enhancing the thermal resistance of the room while controlling noise.
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. Installing acoustic underlays beneath carpets in office spaces helps mitigate foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving the room's dynamics.

Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to address either airborne or impact noise. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to address either airborne or impact noise.
Acoustic underlays are also valuable for renovation projects. For example, underlays installed beneath medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or gypsum drywall help absorb vibrations and reduce unwanted sound transmission.
Underlays help to isolate vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the building structure and reducing their impact on adjacent rooms or units. 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, like footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from a washing machine, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam.
Impact noise results from vibrations caused by activities like footsteps, moving furniture, or the operation of appliances like washing machines. 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. 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 materials used in acoustic underlays, such as foam, cork, and natural rubber, are highly effective at reducing vibrations and controlling noise.
The choice of acoustic underlay depends on the type of noise that needs to be managed. 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 alike.
Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, supporting sustainable building practices. This allows consumers to achieve their preferred aesthetics without sacrificing soundproofing performance.
For example, Tecsound underlays are commonly used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to provide a layer of soundproofing that is effective against vibration and noise. Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool.
For example, underlays installed beneath medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or gypsum drywall can help absorb vibrations and reduce unwanted sound transmission. This process involves converting sound energy into heat, which then dissipates harmlessly. 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 valuable for renovation projects as well. 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.
Airborne noise includes sounds like conversations, music, and television. For example, Tecsound underlays are often used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to add a layer of soundproofing that is effective against vibration and noise.
These underlays not only help reduce noise but also enhance thermal conductivity, supporting efficient heat transfer within the room. Installing acoustic underlays beneath carpets in office spaces helps mitigate foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving room dynamics.
Acoustic underlay installed beneath wood or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms. These options promote environmentalism by reducing the reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution. This process involves energy transformation, where sound waves are absorbed and converted into heat, which then dissipates harmlessly.
The use of recycled fibers and materials encourages recycling while reducing the environmental footprint of soundproofing installations. 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.
Most underlays come in sheets or rolls and can be cut to size with simple tools like a utility knife. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays contribute to creating a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings.
Impact noise, such as footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from appliances, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam. Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, promoting sustainable building practices.
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 an excellent choice for renovation projects as they can easily be installed under new flooring to improve noise insulation. They help bring older buildings up to modern soundproofing standards, making them more comfortable for occupants.
