The board consists of a 5 mm closed cell cross linked polyethylene resilient layer laminated to moisture resistant tongue and groove chipboard.
Chipboard flooring sound insulation.
Acoustic underlays are the most popular method of soundproofing floors.
It can be used over chipboard wooden floors and concrete floors to help meet part e building regulations for sound insulation.
8mm sound insulating flooring panels.
The insulated chipboard flooring is suitable for concrete and suspended timber floors in both new build and refurbishments and.
The chipboard component adds mass to the floor to help eliminate impact sound transmission whilst the resilient layer effectively deal with airborne sound.
Stopping airborne and impact sound will result in the highest levels of sound insulation or both timber and concrete floors.
Xps is the preferred choice of insulation for this application due to its very high compressive strength and closed cell structure which means it is not affected by moisture associated with concrete floor slabs.
Karmafloor acoustic overlay chipboard is designed to reduce impact sound through floors using a heavy material isolated by a softer resilient layer.
We recommend using 100mm of acoustic floor insulation and a density of between 60kg m 80kg m to increase the soundproofing between floors.
They represent an essential component within a complete soundproofing system.
