To prevent noise nuisance, the installation of soundproofing underlays is extremely important. Various factors are important when selecting the proper underlay. So don’t make hasty decisions: make sure the underlay that you select ultimately satisfies the noise reduction requirements. If you don’t do so, you run the risk of having to rip out the floor and purchase yet another underlay.
In apartments and multiple-floor buildings, agreements are often made about acceptable levels of noise in order to counter noise nuisance. What’s more, in the Netherlands, several standards have even been established concerning noise reduction in floors and underlays. This is done to prevent noise nuisance. A recognisable noise problem is walking noise on the floor, for example. These could be ticking heels or plodding footsteps, for example. But slamming doors and music can also lead to annoyance and noise nuisance as well. A noise-insulating underlay can work miracles in these cases. A sound-absorbing underlay ensures that contact noise is attenuated, since you’re addressing the problem at its source. In addition, a good underlay can contribute to the lifespan of your carpet, laminate floor, parquet or tiling.
So get good advice in order to select a noise reducing underlay that, combined with the type of floor you choose, doesn’t exceed noise reduction standards. While choosing the right underlay is important, it’s also important that the installation of the underlay and the floor are done professionally.
