Sound insulation for floors

Soundproofing a concrete floor or wood frame floor
To soundproof concrete floors, or wooden frame floors in older homes, we offer multiple products and solutions. Soundproofing floors reduce airborne noise and impact noise from- and to adjacent buildings and rooms. Important to know is that impact noise from neighbours should be insulated at the source for the best result. Insulating at the receiving end is far less effective. For example, the impact noise of a next door- or upstairs neighbour that walks on high heels cannot be insulated in the home of the person that is experiencing this problem. This is a typical example whereby the soundproofing, a decoupled floor, should be installed at the source to prevent impact noise travelling thru the construction of the building.

Soundproofing concrete floor, screed floor
Concrete floors can be soundproofed by applying a decoupled screed floor with Regufoam. This method is ideal for new buildings or renovation projects. Regufoam Comfort is an acoustic underlay for screed floors or to use in combination with gypsum fiber board, in a double or triple layer configuration. On our Regupol page you can find more info on this product and how you can soundproof a floor.

Soundproofing wood frame floor, subfloor
For soundproofing floors build with wooden beams and plywood or planks, we have two solutions. We recommend to soundproof these types of floors by adding mass, making the floor heavier. This method is very effective to soundproof airborne noise, such as music and speech. The best product to insulate a wooden construction is Isomat KE Fiber. A product that is often referred to as mass load vinyl. We have a very extensive guide for soundproofing such a floor on our tips page, “Insulating Wooden Floors”.
