Acoustics are an important consideration in all building designs, whether a new build or renovation. It is vital to limit the impact of outside disturbances, such as traffic, as well as ensuring that occupants’ activities do not affect neighbouring dwellings.
One in five people are exposed to sound levels at night that may seriously damage their health. A good acoustic floor solution both dampens sound transfer leaving the room, and reduces noise entering it.
For example, with a floating screed system, resilient material placed under the dry laid or poured screed can greatly reduce impact and airborne transmission.
Key benefits when installing stone wool products include:
- Strong impact and airborne sound insulation
- Fire resilience and thermal properties
- Quick and easy installation
Floor insulation
Floor insulation is a simple and effective way to keep your home warm and reduce your energy bills.
Whether you have a suspended wooden floor or a concrete floor, improving your insulation could save you up to £70 per year. You may also be able to get financial help and other support to help you pay to have the insulation installed by a professional.
