Floor Solution 1

Acoustic mineral wool and acoustic membrane

If you wish to buy this solution online we can calculate the materials you need.

For a highly effective method of soundproofing against airborne sound we would recommend the following system. It incorporates acoustic mineral wool, and high density acoustic plasterboard below the floor boards and a layer of acoustic membrane. Typically the incorporation of the membrane hanging between the joists can uplift the airborne soundproofing by 6-8 db in addition to the other materials. Gaps should be sealed between the floor boards using acoustic mastic. The floor will now have five layers of protection. Ceiling, Acoustic mineral wool, 12.5m SoundBloc, acoustic membrane, and sealed floor boards.
