These options promote sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution. In rooms with underfloor heating, selecting an underlay with low thermal resistance allows heat to transfer efficiently without being obstructed by the soundproofing material.
Underlays help to isolate vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the building structure and reducing the impact on adjacent rooms or units. Acoustic underlays function by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which helps in controlling noise and minimizing its transmission through 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 affect performance.
Buildtec Acoustics provides a comprehensive range of acoustic underlays designed to address both airborne and impact noise, making them suitable for various flooring applications, such as wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and laminate flooring. Additionally, these materials are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
Acoustic underlays are also effective for vibration isolation, particularly in areas with significant sources of vibration, such as near heating equipment or heavy appliances. In rooms with underfloor heating, selecting an underlay with low thermal resistance ensures that heat can transfer efficiently without being obstructed by the soundproofing material.
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. Most underlays come in sheet or roll form and can be cut to size using simple tools like a utility knife.

Buildtec Acoustics offers a wide range of acoustic underlays that are specifically designed to address both airborne and impact noise, making them ideal for a variety of flooring applications such as wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and laminate flooring. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays contribute to creating a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings. Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems.
Most underlays come in sheets or rolls and can be cut to size with simple tools like a utility knife. The choice of acoustic underlay depends on the type of noise that needs to be managed.
The primary purpose of acoustic underlays is to manage both impact noise and airborne sound. 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.
Acoustic underlays are versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces such as offices or retail environments. Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool.
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. 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. 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.
Impact noise results from vibrations caused by activities such as walking, moving furniture, or using appliances like washing machines. Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems.
Acoustic underlays made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cork are ideal choices, as they balance both thermal insulation and soundproofing requirements. telephone Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays to meet different needs, including those designed for underfloor heating systems.
Acoustic underlays help absorb these sounds, resulting in better room acoustics. The use of recycled fibers and materials helps promote recycling while minimizing the environmental footprint of soundproofing installations.
In residential buildings, whether in a semi-detached house or an apartment, acoustic underlays are often installed under laminate flooring, hardwood, or carpets to reduce noise transmission through walls, ceilings, and stairs. Airborne noise includes sounds like conversations, music, and television. Adhesive or double-sided tape can be used to secure the underlay in place, while maintaining tight seams between the pieces to prevent gaps that may impact performance.
Most underlays come in sheets or rolls and can be cut to size with simple tools like a utility knife. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties to address either airborne or impact noise.
By using high mass density materials such as crumb rubber and cork, acoustic underlays provide efficient energy use through effective noise control, reducing the impact of noise on people in adjacent rooms or units. Most underlays come in sheets or rolls and can be cut to size with simple tools like a utility knife.

Furthermore, these materials are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.
These underlays act as a cushion that reduces the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. Additionally, these materials are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. These underlays act as a cushion that minimizes the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor.
Acoustic underlays are compatible with various flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood. Acoustic underlays are versatile and suitable for use in many settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces such as offices or retail environments.
With acoustic underlays, these sounds are absorbed, contributing to improved room acoustics. Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics and design of the finished floor.
The use of acoustic underlay under wood flooring or laminate flooring can significantly reduce noise levels in rooms. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays help create a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings.
Yes, acoustic underlays provide thermal insulation by adding an extra layer between the flooring and the subfloor. This helps to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room and can also contribute to energy efficiency by reducing heat loss.
No, acoustic underlays are installed beneath the visible flooring material, meaning they do not affect the appearance of your floor. They work effectively without altering the aesthetics of the chosen flooring, whether it is hardwood, laminate, or carpet.
