Overview

Acoustic floor underlay isolates floor finishes from the structural slab to reduce impact noise transmission to spaces below.

What it solves

Footfall noise, vibration transfer, and complaints between floors—especially in multi-storey buildings.

Where it’s used

Apartments, villas, hotels, offices, gyms, and mixed-use developments.

How we help

Underlay selection, thickness guidance, detailing advice, and quantity support for UAE projects.

Important: Acoustic floor performance depends on correct detailing—perimeter isolation, joints, and compatible floor build-ups.

FAQ

Common questions about acoustic floor underlays.

Does floor underlay stop airborne noise?

It mainly reduces impact noise. Airborne noise control requires mass, sealing, and structural separation.

Can it be used under tiles?

Yes—with suitable systems and correct detailing, underlay can be installed beneath tiled and screeded floors.

Is perimeter isolation required?

Yes. Perimeter isolation strips are critical to prevent flanking paths and loss of performance.

Can you help select the right system?

Yes—share your floor build-up, area, and target requirement and we’ll recommend a suitable underlay.
