Floor Solutions:

By considering factors and tailoring your recommendations accordingly, you can provide effective and customised soundproofing solutions that meet your needs, whether you are aiming for compliance with regulations or seeking to improve the acoustic comfort of your living spaces.

Regulatory Compliance vs. Home Improvement: Determine whether the goal is to meet Part E Building Regulations, which have specific soundproofing requirements, or if it's a home improvement project without regulatory constraints. This distinction helps establish the target soundproofing levels.


Current Floor/Ceiling Build-Up: Understand the existing construction of the floor and ceiling to assess their soundproofing performance. Different materials and structures perform differently for soundproofing purposes.


Source of Noise: Identify the source of the noise—whether it's coming from below (traveling up) or from above (traveling down). This distinction helps in selecting the appropriate soundproofing solutions.


Final Floor Finish: Determine the planned final floor finish on the level above the soundproofed area. Different finishes can impact soundproofing results, and certain solutions may not be suitable for hard finishes like laminates.


Specific Soundproofing Goals: Understand the customer's specific needs regarding the type of noise they want to address. Some solutions are designed for airborne noise, while others are for impact noise, and the selection depends on the customer's priorities.


Individual Susceptibility to Noise: Recognise that individuals have varying sensitivities to noise. Consider the comfort levels of the occupants and be prepared to adjust soundproofing solutions accordingly.
