Soundproofing Underlay – Reduce Noise and Improve Floor Comfort

Unwanted noise can travel through floors more easily than most people realise. Footsteps, moving furniture, impacts and vibrations can disrupt comfort in homes, offices and multi-storey buildings. With the right soundproofing underlay, you can significantly reduce noise transmission, create a quieter environment and enhance the overall performance of your flooring system. Our collection features high-quality underlays designed for both domestic and commercial use, ensuring long-lasting acoustic improvement and under-foot comfort.

Why Choose Soundproofing Underlay?

Installing soundproof underlay beneath your floor provides multiple benefits:

  • Reduces impact sound such as footsteps and dropped items

  • Minimises airborne noise travelling between floors

  • Improves comfort and insulation under hard flooring

  • Enhances acoustic privacy for homes and workplaces

  • Supports building compliance and modern sound standards

Whether you’re renovating a home or upgrading a commercial space, soundproof underlay delivers a noticeable improvement in noise control and floor quality.

Ideal Areas for Soundproofing Underlay

This category is suitable for a wide range of environments, including:

  • Apartments, duplexes and multi-storey residential buildings

Soundproofing underlay is particularly useful where there are occupied rooms below or where peace and privacy are important.

When selecting the right soundproof underlay, consider features such as:

  • High-density or acoustic-grade materials that absorb vibration

How to Choose the Right Underlay

To match the best product to your project, think about:

Factor What to Consider

Subfloor Condition Concrete, timber and moisture considerations

Selecting the correct underlay ensures maximum soundproofing and long-lasting performance.

Application Tips for Best Results

For a high-performing soundproof installation:

  1. Ensure the subfloor is dry, clean and level

  2. Roll out and position the underlay neatly, avoiding gaps or overlaps

  3. Tape seams where necessary to maintain continuity

  4. Lay your finished flooring directly on top following manufacturer guidance

  5. Inspect the area after installation to ensure a smooth and secure surface

Frequently Asked Questions

Will soundproof underlay stop all noise?
It will dramatically reduce impact and airborne sound, but total sound elimination is not realistic. It is, however, one of the most effective acoustic upgrades available for floors.

Is it suitable for DIY installation?
Yes — many products can be installed without specialist tools.

Does it affect floor height?
Only slightly, depending on thickness. Always check your door and threshold clearance before installation.
