How To Soundproof Laminate Flooring Effectively
Sat, Jul 26, 2008
If your neighbors complain about the noise bacause they can hear each step you make than it’ s the moment to thing about sound proofing
There are special soundproofing underlays you can buy in shops.
What you want is low density underlay which would dampen the sound better. Sound travels best through higher density material so you want to give the sound waves less matter to travel through.
Also if the laminate flooring is installed over timber construction flooring you should look at installing accoustic foam inbetween floor joists which would reduce the resonance.
The laminate flooring is installed over high density particle board (sheet flooring) which is installed over the ceiling joists of the level below. The hollow area between ur floor and their ceiling acts like a resonance chambre of a guitar which just enhances the noise transfered through the wood. so you would want to install something to dampen the noise in that hollow part of the floor construction
