Product Information

If you soundproof when you build, you will have a much easier time than if you try to do it after you have already built your home. New builds will always provide the easiest manner of doing anything “fun” with a house or other structure. You can renovate though to add this. As wood flooring is not as flexible as carpet, you will need to take extra steps when installing acoustic underlay. Firstly, if you’re using an underlay that comes in sheets rather than a roll, you should lay them at a 90° angle to the way the fitter will install your flooring. This is to ensure that the joins don’t line up because this could potentially weaken the floor at those points.

The key metric you need to be concerned with here is TOG rating. TOG is a measure of thermal resistance – the higher the value, the less heat that can pass through the underlay. Therefore, with UFH underlay, you should be looking for a low TOG rating of between 0.75 and 1.00. Mass loaded vinyl. This is one of the heavy hitters in the soundproofing world.

While Tecsound might look light and flimsy online, I can tell you it’s far from it! In-person, Tecsound is a very heavy and dense roll of membrane. The material handles like a very large and heavy piece of bluetac. I can easily lift a corner of the Tecsound, but to move the whole roll I would need another person and would advise you do the same!A roll of QuietWalk provides you with 100 square feet of underlay, which is plenty.

The cheapest soundproofing underlay available is the MuteBarrier product. This comes in 5kg/m2 and a 10kg/m2 options. I do not recommend the 5kg/m2 as a stand-alone mat as the additional mass would not be significant enough to reduce the sound due to mass law.
