Acoustic Floor Insulation West Midlands
If you’re searching for reliable acoustic floor insulation in the West Midlands, look no further.
At GM Floor Screeds, we help homeowners, landlords, and commercial developers create quieter, warmer, and more energy-efficient spaces—without the hassle or guesswork.
What Is Acoustic Floor Insulation?
Acoustic floor insulation helps to minimise noise levels by decreasing sound transmission from inside and outside of the building. This includes airborne sounds like conversations, through structures such as floors and walls, and outside noise such as traffic.
Acoustic floor insulation decreases noise levels by trapping sound waves on the sound absorbers and barriers, which are installed on the sub-floor of a building, usually under concrete or timber floors, but also suitable for a range of other flooring types.
Acoustic materials vary according to the system used, the type of building, and the requirements of the project. They include foam panels, cork mats, rubber, fibreglass, and mineral wool. Some acoustic floors may include a floating floor that prevents the materials from touching the sub-floor, increasing soundproofing levels.
Why Choose Acoustic Floor Insulation?
Have you ever been woken up by footsteps from the floor above? Or perhaps struggled to concentrate because of noise travelling through walls and floors? Noise can be more than just a nuisance—it can impact focus and comfort in your home or commercial space.
GM Floor Screeds' acoustic flooring represents the perfect solution for this poblem.
Our acoustic floor insulation systems are specially designed to minimise sound transmission and improve thermal performance at the same time. You’ll enjoy a quieter, more peaceful space, not to mention a more energy-efficient one, as acoustic flooring helps to trap and conserve heat, perfect for the colder months.
Research shows that one in every five people are exposed to night sound levels that may affect their general well-being and health. Acoustic flooring can help minimise such additional noise disturbances from both outside and inside the building.
Other benefits of acoustic flooring include:
- Compliance with UK Building Regulations: The UK Building Regulations Part E include standard soundproofing for residential and commercial buildings.
- Increased Comfort: By creating a quieter environment, acoustic floor insulation can help increase living and working environment comfort.
- Energy Efficiency: Most acoustic floor insulation comes with thermal insulation. This helps retain the heat of the building, improving energy efficiency levels and therefore saving you money.
- Increased Property Value: Enhance the appeal of the property with the addition of what can be considered a premium feature.
- Versatility: Acoustic floor insulation can be installed with a range of flooring types, as well for new builds and renovation projects.
- Improved Well-being: By reducing noise levels, mainly at night, the general well-being levels can be improved, so you can relax or focus in a quieter place.
What Do I Need To Consider Before Installation?
Depending on the project requirements, different considerations come into place. Some of them include:
Type of insulation: While spray foam insulation can be used to fill in gaps and cavities to prevent noise from entering a space, Rockwool insulation is frequently utilised to lessen sound transmission.
Thickness of Insulation: The insulation's ability to block noise will increase with thickness, but it may depend on a few other factors.
Budget: The cost of the project may vary according to the material chosen, performance grade, area of installation, subfloor conditions, type of property, additional components such as floating floor or moisture barriers and more.
