NOISE REDUCTION
Hear the difference.
Play the video to hear the airborne sound difference before and after installing this system. For best results try to match the volume of the unreduced audio to the volume of the noise you’re able to hear.
The noise in the video has been digitally reduced to give you an idea of the sorts of results you could expect. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect science and your personal results could vary due to myriad reasons. However, we have found our customers prefer to hear a decibel reduction rather than read it!
We stand for quality, and we are proud of it.
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 that 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.
How to soundproof a floor
Below we look at an overview of how to soundproof your floor using the Tecsound Premium system.
- Install high-density mineral wool in between flooring joists. This will help soundproof against airborne noise travelling between floors.
- Adhere Isolation strips to your joists. Pimpled isolation strips help to absorb impact and create a ‘floating floor’ effect.
- Board your floor with cement fiberboard. This high density of this board helps reduce airborne noise.
- Lay vibration-dampening layer of Tecsound that performs against both impact and airborne sound.
- Install a perimeter flanking band that acts as a buffer, one that reduces Flanking Transmission, by creating a barrier between floor and wall.
- Lay your desired flooring on top and enjoy the peace an quiet!
