Floor Soundproofing

Do you have noisy neighbours downstairs? dB Soundproofing can help reduce sound leaking between floors with a range of floor soundproofing and a range of floor sound insulation methods and systems.

Soundproof Your Floors And Reduce Noise From Downstairs

Soundproofing floors to provide noise insulation is normally for one of two reasons:

  • You are either trying to stop noise reaching you from the property below
  • You’re trying to stop the noise you make affecting your neighbours below

More often than not our floor soundproofing clients require dB Soundproofing to stop sounds from their neighbours below.

How Do We Soundproof Floors?

We can provide many products offering great products, such as rubber mats or treated acoustic underlay, but this normally works in reducing the effects of impact noise such as footsteps or doors. It’s not totally effective in reducing the unwanted airborne noise from your neighbours.

dB Soundproofing offer great floor soundproofing solutions for reducing the airborne noise from your downstairs neighbours. We are able to provide soundproofing between floors and soundproofing floors in flats to stop airborne sound by using acoustic floor insulation between joists. Acoustic insulation between floors has the potential to successfully reduce noise transferring through floors.
