Your Soundproofing System Calculator
Key Benefits
- Maximum impact noise reduction for concrete floors — 10mm Terrac Rubber Underlayment absorbs footfall and vibration energy before it enters the floor structure, delivering the highest impact isolation within this product family
- High mass build-up for airborne noise — 10kg/m² MLV combined with a 22mm STS TG4 overlay board adds significant surface mass, improving airborne sound reduction compared to thinner concrete floor systems
- Heavy-duty 22mm STS TG4 overlay — creates a stiff, stable substrate over the soundproofing layers, providing a solid base for the bonded LVT finish while contributing to overall acoustic performance
- SilentCork3 Acoustic Underlay with Mapei VS90 adhesive system — SilentCork3 provides additional impact reduction and comfort directly under the bonded LVT, and is compatible with the Mapei Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus adhesive included in the system
- Suitable for flats, apartments, and high footfall areas — designed for concrete floor construction above occupied spaces where impact noise from footfall is the primary complaint
- 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 48mm; verify door and threshold clearances are sufficient before committing to the Pro build-up
Important Notes
- This system is designed for concrete floors intended to be finished with bonded LVT
- 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. 48mm)
- If doors/thresholds are tight, check clearances before committing to the Pro build-up
