Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is important to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry. Buildtec Acoustics offers a variety of acoustic underlays designed to address both airborne and impact noise, providing a versatile solution for diverse flooring applications, including wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and laminate flooring. The materials used in acoustic underlays, such as foam, cork, and natural rubber, are highly effective at reducing vibrations and controlling noise.
When considering soundproofing solutions, acoustic underlays provide an effective means to reduce noise pollution, improve room acoustics, and create a comfortable environment. These underlays act as a cushion that helps reduce the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor. These products ensure enhanced efficiency in both heating and noise control, providing comfort throughout the year.
For example, underlays installed beneath medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or gypsum drywall can help absorb vibrations and reduce unwanted sound transmission. The choice of acoustic underlay also depends on the type of noise that needs to be controlled.

Acoustic underlays are compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood. The choice of acoustic underlay depends on the type of noise that needs to be managed. By reducing both airborne and impact noise, these underlays help create a peaceful environment, whether in the home, office, or commercial settings.
Before installing an acoustic underlay, it is important to ensure that the subfloor-whether concrete, particle board, or cement-is clean, level, and dry.

Environmental considerations are a key aspect of acoustic underlay design. The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and can be performed by both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. These options support sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering overall pollution.
The installation of acoustic underlays is straightforward and accessible to both professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts. In addition to their sustainability, these materials are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.
In homes, whether it is a single-family detached home or a semi-detached house, the installation of acoustic underlay ensures that everyday activities do not have a negative affect on other occupants. With a wide variety of materials, including cork, foam, natural rubber, and recycled fibers, Buildtec Acoustics ensures that there is an environmentally friendly and efficient product to meet every need.
From mitigating noise pollution to improving energy efficiency, acoustic underlays are a versatile solution that supports both functionality and aesthetics in modern building design. Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics or design of the finished floor.
Buildtec Acoustics offers underlays made from environmentally friendly materials, such as cork, recycled crumb rubber, and natural wool. Acoustic underlays are compatible with a range of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood. Acoustic underlays do not compromise the aesthetics and design of the finished floor.
They are installed beneath the visible flooring material, meaning that the desired flooring-whether it is elegant hardwood, practical laminate, or cozy carpet-remains unchanged. The choice of acoustic underlay depends on the type of noise that needs to be managed.
Hard surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate, often amplify sounds like footsteps, creating unwanted echo and reverberation. Acoustic underlay is an effective solution for managing noise control in residential and commercial environments.
This process involves the transformation of sound energy into heat, which then dissipates harmlessly. By choosing the right product for the specific noise control requirement, homeowners and businesses can create a quieter, more comfortable atmosphere.

Buildtec Acoustics offers a wide range of acoustic underlays that are designed to manage both airborne and impact noise, providing versatile solutions for various flooring applications, such as wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and laminate flooring. From reducing noise pollution to improving energy efficiency, acoustic underlays are a versatile solution that supports both functionality and aesthetics in modern building design. Installing acoustic underlays beneath carpets in office spaces helps mitigate foot traffic noise and other disturbances, improving the room's dynamics.
Floating floor systems also benefit from acoustic underlays, which provide an additional layer of soundproofing beneath the flooring material. These underlays act as a cushion that reduces the transmission of vibrations and sound through the floor.
For example, underlays installed beneath medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or gypsum drywall can help absorb vibrations and reduce unwanted sound transmission. Acoustic underlays are compatible with a wide variety of flooring materials, including tiles, carpet, and wood.
