When upgrading your floors, most attention tends to fall on look and durability – but noise matters too. That’s where acoustic underlay steps in, offering comfort and tranquility for a cosier home.
Benefits of Acoustic Underlay
- Noise reduction – dampens footsteps, muffles echoes, and keeps upstairs conversations from echoing downstairs.
- Improved thermal feel – adds an insulating layer, helping floors feel warmer underfoot.
- Enhanced flooring lifespan – cushions and protects the main surface, reducing wear and tear.
- Elevated comfort – softens impact, especially helpful in bedrooms or family zones.
Best Rooms for Acoustic Underlay
- Living areas and open-plan homes, where chatter, movement and TV noise can bounce around.
- Bedrooms and upstairs rooms – silence makes for better sleep and more peaceful mornings.
- Multi-storey flats or homes – noise transmission between floors becomes less of an issue.
Quick Tip
Pair your chosen finish – be it wood, laminate, LVT, or carpet – with the right acoustic underlay. It’s a small addition with a big impact on comfort.
