Acoustilay
Product Description
Acoustilay is a unique Acoustic flooring underlay. It is designed to be installed as easily and quickly as a conventional carpet underlay but with the additional benefit of acoustic insulation. Acoustilay conforms to the Building Regulations (Approved Document E) for conversions and provides the easiest and most convenient method of improving both the airborne and impact sound insulation of an existing floor. Acoustilay combines excellent sound insulation with all the qualities expected of a good underlay, hard wearing good dynamic loading and a luxury feel. Simply laid onto an existing timber or concrete floor and easily cut with a standard trimming knife, Acoustilay offers the economy of quick installation. It is easily formed to any shape and being between only 10 and 15mm thick it minimises the increase in floor level. Carpet is laid directly on top and fixed using either carpet grippers or adhesive.
Three choices are available, Acoustilay 15 and Acoustilay 8 for airborne and impact noise, and Acoustilay 3 for impact noise only. Acoustilay 15 is for use where both airborne and impact noise insulation is required. It is constructed with a resilient foam core bonded between two flexible attenuating surfaces and has an overall thickness of 15mm. It meets the requirements of Building Regulations Approved Document E. Acoustilay 8 has the same resilient base bonded to one attenuating layer, giving a thickness of only 12mm. Impact noise performance is similar to that for Acoustilay 15 but airborne noise insulation will depend to a greater extent on the existing structure. It meets the requirements of Building Regulations Approved Document E for conversions. Acoustilay 3 is for use where only impact noise insulation is required, it has the same resilient base but the attenuating layer is reduced to a thinner flexible membrane. The overall thickness is only 1Omm. Acoustilay 3 offers very high impact noise insulation and is suitable for both timber or concrete floors.
