The Tecsound Pro system is an ideal solution for those looking to replace their subfloor with a floor soundproofing option, but cannot lose a great deal of space beyond this. This system improves airborne noise while helping to decrease the presence of light vibration and light foot traffic from above. This system combines both Versafloor® 18mm, a cement particle board, mostly a dense mix of concrete and chipboard provides a rigid and heavy board to create a barrier against airborne noise, and Tecsound, a visco-elastic material that reduces vibration and breaks down sound energy by turning it into heat. The full system includes the use of Acoustic Mineral Wool between the joists, at no less than 45kg per m3, and use of Isolation Strips to provide a floating floor function. It is these properties in this system that make it ideal for reducing the light conversation, background levels of footsteps and even the dragging of furniture. Although these are noise issues commonly associated with what you find at home, especially in dense-living, multiple dwellings, these disturbances are similar to those you hear in the workplace, and this system is for both homes and workplaces.

• A slim and robust alternative to standard ply and chipboard subfloor to provide a soundproofing alternative
• System thickness from joist 32mm
• Up to 53dB for airborne (where a higher number is desired).* (details are available on the 'System Performance' tab above).
• Down to 47dB for impact (where a lower number is desired)* (details are available on the 'System Performance' tab above).
• Be sure to check for 'Flanking Transmission' in adjacent surfaces as these can affect acoustic performance

Combining essential soundproofing materials.

• Versafloor® 18mm - an incredibly dense, tongue-and-groove cement particle board (with greater mass than ply or standard chipboard to reduce airborne noise).
• Tecsound - a visco-elastic barrier to help reduce vibration and improve the reduction of airborne noise.
• Acoustic Mineral Wool 45kg or 60kg per m3 - (essential for reducing resonance between joists, and to minimise sound 'flanking' into other rooms).
• Isolation Strip P8 - is a deviated, rubbed crumber material to separate from joists (to achieve the best performance against impact and low-frequency noise).

How to install

• Acoustic Mineral Wool fitted between joists in which it's depth dictates thickness needed, you will want to leave at least a 10mm air gap - DO NOT COMPRESS.
• Isolation Strips self-adhered to top of joists, make sure these are as dust free as possible.
• Perimeter detail installed, dependent on your floor finish above this would be Perimeter Flanking Band for hard finishes.
•  Tongue-and-groove Versafloor® 18mm subfloor installed providing an airtight seal.
• Tecsound adhered with self-adhesive backing.

Alternatively, we provide Acoustic Installation across the UK to fit all of our systems - they come with a wealth of experience in the field so you can feel comfortable that the right installation methods are being carried out.

All of our systems contain a high level of mass, and if there are any structural concerns, you will want to consult a Structural Engineer to discuss your requirements.

*Our Typical Performance Results and Noise Reduction Guidance are provided to indicate the results that have been achieved in previous tests but are not guaranteed to a specific site as multiple factors can affect this.

We endeavour to display the most up to date testing and to manage expectation as best as possible. Please do contact us to discuss your requirements.
