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.
