Vibration Insulation Foam Strips for Decoupling Walls & Floors

Decoupling Strips to insulate impact noise
Polypress Strips are used to decouple a floor or wall to isolate them from the rest of a building preventing impact noise. When installing a decoupled floor, it is important that the floor doesn't touch the walls anywhere. When this is still the case, vibrations can be transmitted to the construction of the building causing impact noise to (downstairs) neighbours or adjacent rooms.

Before installing a decoupled, or floating floor, wall or ceiling, first attach vibration insulating Polypress Strips on the existing construction, being the wooden beams, on which the floor or wall can be placed. Polypress Strips are self-adhesive with a density of 300 kg/m³. Since these strips are mostly used to decouple or soundproof wooden timber floors, you might want to read our guide on wooden floor insulation as well.
