A Practical Concrete Floor Build-Up for Moderate Impact Noise Reduction (Carpet Finish)

Our Essential Concrete Floor Soundproofing System – Carpet is a practical upgrade for concrete floors where you want to reduce impact noise, footfall and general vibration and achieve a modest improvement in airborne noise. This system combines 10kg MLV with 3mm Terrac, 18mm STS TG4 Floorboard and a high-performance carpet underlay, Silent Floor Ultra, to create a more acoustically controlled floor build-up.

To make things easier, our online calculator works out the quantities required for your project, with an additional 5% already allowed for waste.

Designed for Concrete Floors with a Carpet Finish

Concrete floors are already relatively good for airborne sound compared to timber floors, but they can still transmit impact noise (footfall, dropped items, movement) very effectively. Our Essential Concrete Floor Soundproofing System – Carpet is designed to help reduce this, while also improving overall acoustic comfort.

The build-up consists of:

  • 1 layer of 10kg MLV (Soundproofing Mat)
  • 3mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment
  • 18mm STS TG4 Floorboard 
  • Silent Floor Ultra Acoustic Underlay 
  • AC95 Acoustic Sealant
  • Jointing Tape
  • Contact Adhesive

The finished build-up is approximately 37mm overall.

Important Supply Information 

All components required for this system are supplied by us as part of the calculator output.

How the System Works 

This system combines mass, separation, and impact isolation:

  • 10kg MLV adds mass to help reduce sound transmission
  • 3mm Terrac helps reduce impact noise and provides an acoustic layer beneath the overlay
  • 18mm STS TG4 creates a stable overlay deck for the finished floor build-up
  • Silent Floor Ultra Underlay improves impact reduction and comfort under carpet
  • Acoustic Sealant  and Jointing Tape help reduce sound leakage through joints and perimeter gaps

What We Supply 

The system calculator works out the estimated quantities required for the soundproofing materials we supply, including:

We also include an additional 5% allowance for waste in the calculated quantities.

Key Benefits 

  • Designed for moderate impact noise reduction on concrete floors
  • Adds mass and impact isolation without needing major structural work
  • Creates a stable overlay using 18mm STS TG4 Floorboards
  • DIY achievable for competent installers (moderate DIY)
  • Calculator provides a quick material estimate
  • Includes a 5% waste allowance in the calculated quantities

Important Notes

  • This system is designed for concrete floors intended to be finished with carpet
  • It is primarily aimed at impact noise reduction; airborne improvements will be more limited compared to full decoupled ceiling systems
  • Sealant quantities are an approximation only and should be treated as a guide
  • The calculator is provided as a guide only, and final quantities should always be checked before ordering
  • Always check floor height/threshold clearances before ordering (this system adds approx. 37mm)

Installation Summary

  1. Ensure the concrete floor is clean, dry, and reasonably level
  2. Install 10kg MLV
  3. Install 3mm Terrac
  4. Install 18mm STS TG4 overlay boards
  5. Tape joints and seal perimeter gaps with AC95 where required
  6. Install Silent Floor Ultra Underlay
  7.  Fit carpet finish as normal
