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 products provide greater efficiency in both heating and noise control, offering comfort throughout the year. Looking to dampen noise in your office then use acoustic underlay under your floor. 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.
Airborne noise, on the other hand, includes sounds such as conversations, music, and television. Impact noise, such as footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from appliances, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam.
Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics or design of the finished floor. Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, often amplify sounds like footsteps, creating unwanted echo and reverberation.
These underlays not only help reduce noise but also enhance thermal conductivity, supporting efficient heat transfer within the room. In commercial settings, reducing noise pollution creates a more productive and pleasant work environment, enhancing overall efficiency.
Installing acoustic underlays beneath carpets in office spaces helps mitigate foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving the room's dynamics. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays help create a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings. In rooms with underfloor heating, selecting an underlay with low thermal resistance allows heat to transfer efficiently without being obstructed by the soundproofing material.
Some underlays are also certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, contributing to sustainable building practices. Acoustic underlays are compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood.
These underlays act as a cushion that reduces the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. Installing an acoustic underlay beneath carpets in office spaces can help reduce foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving the room's dynamics.
Acoustic underlays help to absorb these sounds, improving room acoustics. 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.

The compatibility with different floor finishes makes acoustic underlays an essential component in modern flooring design, helping to create a space that is both visually appealing and acoustically comfortable. For instance, Tecsound underlays are commonly used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to add an additional layer of soundproofing that is effective against vibration and noise. Some underlays are certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, promoting sustainable building practices.
Additionally, these materials provide excellent thermal insulation, enhancing the thermal resistance of the room while managing noise. By utilizing high-density materials like crumb rubber and cork, acoustic underlays effectively control noise, reducing its impact on people in 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. Buildtec Acoustics offers a wide range of acoustic underlays designed to handle both airborne and impact noise, making them suitable for various flooring applications, including wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and laminate flooring.
They are particularly effective when used with materials like ceramic tiles or floating floors, providing both sound insulation and comfort underfoot. 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.
For instance, Tecsound underlays are commonly used beneath concrete or screed subfloors to add an additional layer of soundproofing that is effective against vibration and noise. Impact noise, such as footsteps on laminate flooring or vibrations from a washing machine, can be minimized using dense materials like natural rubber or foam. These options support environmentalism by reducing the need for virgin materials and lowering overall pollution.
This helps improve communication between occupants by reducing noise interference. These underlays not only help with noise reduction but also improve thermal conductivity, promoting efficient heat transfer in the room.
These underlays act as a cushion that minimizes the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. Whether in a single-family detached home or a semi-detached house, installing acoustic underlay ensures that daily activities do not negatively impact others in the building.
Buildtec Acoustics provides a diverse range of acoustic underlays specifically designed to address both airborne and impact noise, making them suitable for various flooring applications such as wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and laminate flooring. Acoustic underlays work by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which helps to reduce noise transmission through floors.
The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and accessible to both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. The primary purpose of acoustic underlays is to manage both impact noise and airborne sound. Buildtec Acoustics provides underlays with specific properties that address either airborne or impact noise.
The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and can be performed by both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. Acoustic underlays are also effective for vibration isolation, especially in spaces with significant sources of vibration, such as near heating equipment or heavy appliances.
These options support sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution. For example, underlays installed beneath medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or gypsum drywall help absorb vibrations and reduce unwanted sound transmission.
Acoustic underlay is an effective solution for managing noise control in both residential and commercial spaces. Acoustic underlays such as those made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cork are ideal choices, as they balance both thermal insulation and soundproofing requirements.
The compatibility with different floor finishes makes acoustic underlays an essential component of modern flooring design, creating a space that is both visually appealing and acoustically comfortable. These materials also provide excellent thermal insulation, enhancing the thermal resistance of the room while controlling noise. Additionally, these materials provide thermal insulation, enhancing the thermal resistance of a room while also managing noise levels.
Reducing 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 important.
