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

Our Essential Concrete Floor Soundproofing System – Bonded LVT is a practical upgrade for concrete floors where you want to reduce impact noise such as footfall and general vibration, with a modest improvement in airborne noise. This system combines 10kg MLV with 3mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment, an 18mm STS TG4 structural overlay, and a bonded LVT-ready acoustic layer using SilentCork3 and Mapei Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus adhesive.

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 Bonded LVT Finish

Concrete floors are already relatively good for airborne sound compared to timber floors, but they can still transmit impact noise effectively. This Essential system is designed primarily to reduce impact noise and improve acoustic comfort, while providing a suitable build-up for bonded LVT installations.

The build-up consists of:

  • 1 layer of 10kg MLV (Soundproofing Mat)
  • 3mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment
  • 18mm STS TG4 Acoustic Floorboard
  • SilentCork3 Acoustic Underlay
  • Mapei Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus Adhesive
  • Everbuild AC95 Acoustic Sealant
  • Jointing Tape
  • Contact Adhesive

The finished build-up is approximately 29mm overall.

Important Supply Information

All components required for this system are supplied by us as part of the calculator output. The only items you need to source separately are suitable fixings for your floor type.

How the System Works

This system combines mass and impact isolation in a compact build-up:

  • 10kg MLV adds dense mass to help reduce airborne sound transmission through the floor structure
  • 3mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment provides an acoustic isolation layer beneath the overlay board, helping to reduce impact noise transfer into the structure
  • 18mm STS TG4 Acoustic Floorboard creates a stable, structural overlay deck for the finished floor build-up
  • SilentCork3 Acoustic Underlay adds impact isolation and provides a suitable bonding surface for the LVT finish, compatible with the Mapei VS90 adhesive system
  • Mapei Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus Adhesive is used to bond the LVT correctly to the SilentCork3 layer as per manufacturer guidance
  • AC95 Acoustic Sealant and Jointing Tape reduce sound leakage through perimeter gaps and board joints

What We Supply

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

  • 10kg MLV (Soundproofing Mat)
  • 3mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment
  • 18mm STS TG4 Acoustic Floorboards
  • STS Slow Set PU Adhesive
  • SilentCork3 Acoustic Underlay
  • Mapei Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus Adhesive
  • High Strength Contact Adhesive
  • AC95 Acoustic Sealant
  • PVC Jointing Tape

Fixings are not included — source these to suit your floor type. We also include an additional 5% allowance for waste in the calculated quantities.

Key Benefits

  • Practical impact noise reduction for concrete floors — 3mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment beneath the overlay board helps reduce footfall and vibration transfer through the floor structure, improving acoustic comfort in the space below
  • 10kg MLV mass layer — adds dense mass to the floor build-up to help reduce airborne sound transmission, complementing the impact isolation provided by the Terrac layer
  • 18mm STS TG4 structural overlay — creates a stable, level substrate over the soundproofing layers, providing a solid base for the bonded LVT finish
  • SilentCork3 Acoustic Underlay with Mapei VS90 adhesive system — SilentCork3 provides additional impact reduction and a suitable bonding surface for the LVT finish, and is compatible with the Mapei Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus adhesive included in the system
  • Low-profile 29mm build-up — a compact Essential-tier alternative to the Pro system, suitable where floor height or threshold clearances are a limiting factor
  • Suitable for bonded LVT installations — the SilentCork3 and Mapei VS90 combination provides a bonded LVT-ready substrate as part of the complete system
  • Complete system supply — all components are included in the calculator output except fixings, so you can order everything needed for your floor soundproofing project in one place
  • Built-in 5% waste allowance — calculator quantities include a 5% overage to account for cuts and waste, reducing the risk of under-ordering on site
  • Check floor height clearances before ordering — this system adds approximately 29mm; verify door and threshold clearances before committing to this build-up

Important Notes

  • This system is designed for concrete floors intended to be finished with bonded LVT
  • 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. 29mm)
  • Always follow the adhesive and flooring manufacturer's guidance for installation and curing times

Installation Summary

  1. Ensure the concrete floor is clean, dry, and reasonably level
  2. Install 10kg MLV
  3. Install 3mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment
  4. Install 18mm STS TG4 overlay boards
  5. Tape joints and seal perimeter gaps with AC95 where required
  6. Install SilentCork3 Acoustic Underlay
  7. Use Mapei VS90 adhesive to bond LVT as per manufacturer instructions
