When walking on hard floor coverings, dragging chairs or other furniture, or dropping hard objects, a high level of impact noise occurs, and the noise spreads not only to the lower floor but also through the building’s structure to all apartments. Another type of impact noise on the floor is the so-called “heel noise,” which occurs when walking on hard flooring and spreads within the same space as ambient sound.
High-density materials such as barriered bondex foam are among the most effective materials used during floor sound insulation. If it is anticipated that loud noises will come from below or that a significant amount of sound will pass to the lower floor from the insulated surface, placing a sound insulation barrier on top of the barriered bondex foam provides higher performance, while also creating a firm surface that prevents future sagging. With acoustic rubber carpet, it is also possible to reduce vibration and resonance. You can place an order on our website and contact us for more information.
