Anybody who lives in an apartment building or who works in an office building knows exactly how irritating a noisy ceiling can be. If you are a landlord, one way of keeping your renters happy is to install acoustic underlays as a soundproofing method. Here are just a few reasons why this is the best method.
1st Benefit
Acoustic underlay is very similar to the cheaper standard overlay used for soundproofing except it is far denser than standard underlay. Since it is thicker and denser, the vibrations are more easily absorbed and thus there is a lessening of noise output.
2nd Benefit
When using this type of underlay to Soundproof Flooring, the thicker material makes the floor feel softer underfoot. This means that not only is it easier on the legs and feet in the long term, but it is also more supportive of the floor which will help it last longer.
3rd Benefit
Not only does acoustic underlay work great to insulate the floor from unwanted sound, but it also insulates the floor in regards to escaping heat. By installing underlay, you are helping to keep from losing heat through the floorboards. It is also a great option to keep dust from flowing through the room. Your tenants with allergies to dust or other microbes will very much appreciate this.
