What Is Acoustic Underlay?
Acoustic underlay is a material designed to reduce noise transmission between floors. This underlay reduces how sound moves between floors. Whether it be the sound of heavy footsteps, the hum of conversations, or the vibrations from appliances the acoustic underlay stops all these sounds. The underlay works as a barrier that takes in and reduces sounds. Foam, cork as well as felt are common materials used to create these underlays and each material has specific sound-reducing traits.
How Does It Work?
Sound travels through vibrations. When these vibrations hit the floor, they can easily pass through to the room below. Acoustic underlay interrupts this pathway. By absorbing and dispersing these vibrations, it significantly reduces both impact noise (like footsteps) and airborne noise (like music or voices).
Why Should You Care?
In multi-story buildings or apartments, noise can be a significant concern. Installing acoustic underlay not only enhances your living experience but also adds value to your property. It's an investment in peace, privacy, and comfort.
Choosing the Right Acoustic Underlay for Your Flooring
Selecting the appropriate acoustic underlay depends on your flooring type and specific needs.
1. Timber, Hardwood, and Laminate Floors
For timber hardwood along with laminate floors, a thick, springy underlay is necessary. DB Matting items possess little bend. They give steadiness and decrease noise. This underlay supports immediate timber floor installs, keeping the floor’s good condition besides sense.
2. Carpeted Floors
Carpeted floors improve with underlays giving padding and sound soaking up. DB Acoustic Underlay or Acoulay items give a soft feeling and also lessen noise transfer. Their solid centers provide lasting use and long life.
3. Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) Floors
LVT floors need underlays to give a firm, flat foundation. DB Matting plus Jumpax systems work well. They possess little bend and excellent sound deadening. Underlays like these keep your LVT floor secure besides silent.
Our Experts On Acoustic Ceiling Systems
The Team At SIS Says:
"When addressing sound transmission through a flooring system, acoustic underlay is often the most influential layer for controlling impact noise at its source.
The synergy between material composition, floor finish compatibility, and installation precision directly determines the acoustic performance of the entire floor build-up. It’s not just about laying something soft under your floor—it's about strategically integrating isolation, mass, and deflection control to disrupt the path of vibration and sound transfer. The correct acoustic underlay system—matched to your floor type and performance goals—can reduce footfall noise dramatically, often without the need for altering ceiling or wall structures.
However, performance isn’t just dictated by product specs on a page. The method of installation, whether floated, bonded, or loose-laid, can make or break the acoustic outcome. At Sound Insulation Store, we guide clients not just on “what” to use, but how to use it. Whether you're layering beneath timber, carpet, LVT, or hybrid floors, we ensure your underlay works with the floor finish—not against it. The result? Acoustic underlay systems that aren’t just good on paper—they’re game-changing in practice."
