Impact sound insulation means everything sounds great in your room

Floating floors offer many advantages. They can be installed in a very short time and, if you move house, you can take your floor covering with you. Under certain circumstances, however, a floating installation can lead to problems with acoustics. The solution is to lay a sound-absorbing insulation mat under your new floor covering. We provide professional impact sound insulation that minimizes noise and makes your room just sound better!

Improve your acoustics with impact sound insulation

Floating floor coverings have a negative effect on room acoustics if they don’t have integrated impact sound insulation. This is because there’s a gap between the covering and the subfloor. A floor laid in this way gives way slightly with every step. This leads to damage to the floor covering after a certain period of time, and a lot of noise!

Poor impact sound insulation can also lead to disputes with neighbours living below. Impact sound insulation closes the gap between the two layers of flooring and noticeably reduces the impact noise inside and outside the room. Insulation made of soft materials can also absorbs the ambient sounds in the room. To recap:

  • It compensates for an uneven subfloor
  • It ensures a seamless connection between the floor covering and the subfloor
  • It reduces sound transmission to the floor below and to all adjoining rooms
  • It reduces ambient room noise
  • It increases the effect of thermal insulation

Impact sound insulation, for every kind of floor

It’s not just parquet floors that can be noisy without impact sound insulation: other hard coverings also benefit from a protective mat. On old tiled floors, wooden ceilings as well as on screed floors, an impact sound insulation mat noticeably reduces the room sound. Heavy and thick insulating mats are suitable for parquet floors, while thin mats make sense for many renovation projects. You can find them all at planeo.

They are delivered in sheets, so you can cut the mat to the desired size and install it easily.
