Key Benefits
- Higher performance than the Essential system for louder noise — two layers of 10kg MLV combined with Silent Floor Ultra Underlay deliver significantly more mass and impact isolation than single-mat systems
- Dual 10kg MLV layers for dense mass — two rolls of 10kg mass loaded vinyl with staggered joints add substantial mass to help reduce louder airborne noise, including voices, TV at higher volume, and general household noise
- Silent Floor Ultra Acoustic Underlay for impact isolation — installed above the MLV layers to reduce footfall and impact noise, and to provide a high-performance acoustic substrate directly under the carpet
- Suitable for carpet finishes — Silent Floor Ultra provides a compatible acoustic base for carpet installations without requiring adhesive bonding to the floor finish
- DIY-friendly installation — no structural work required; the system is laid over the existing floorboards and finished with carpet as normal
- Practical build-up depth — approximately 21mm overall, making it suitable for most rooms; check door and threshold clearances before ordering
- Built-in 5% waste allowance — calculator quantities include a 5% overage to reduce the risk of under-ordering on site
Important Notes
- This system is designed for timber floors intended to be finished with carpet
- It is intended to improve both airborne noise and impact noise, but results will vary depending on the existing floor construction
- 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
