Reducing noise to support stress-free environments: the benefits of acoustic flooring

By Dave Ford, Specifications Manager – North, Altro

Reducing sound is more than just a ‘nice to have’ – it promotes the health of staff and service users. Noise levels from people and noise pollution from equipment and devices reverberate over sound-reflecting hard surfaces, extend over distances and linger; consequently, they can have a serious impact on the wellbeing of everyone.

A positive sound environment occurs naturally outdoors; our ears are tuned to the natural environment, and the sky absorbs noise. We need to create the same indoors, absorbing or diffusing noise to help support a stress-free environment. Designs that have good acoustics, along with natural light and ventilation, help create a positive, therapeutic atmosphere.

Acoustic flooring generally refers to flooring that helps provide sound insulation, thus dampening the effects of sound from within the room, be it airborne noise or impact noise. Acoustic flooring is different from soundproof underlay or flooring, which is designed to reduce sound coming through the floor from adjoining areas.

With a range of vinyl flooring that has sound-dampening properties, you can find Altro products that will serve your needs in more ways than one. With different levels of sound reduction, you can tailor your project to its exact specifications.

Where can acoustic floors be used to best effect? Here are some examples:

Commercial kitchens – Whether in a restaurant, hotel, hospital, university, school or care home, they have one thing in common: they are really noisy! Trolleys clatter over the floor bearing loads of wobbling crockery; plates are loaded and unloaded in dishwashers; food processors blitz away and chefs need to make themselves heard above all this reverberating noise. Acoustic and impact sound reducing floors can help reduce noise significantly to enhance the wellbeing of all those who work here.

decoration and furniture in cafe

Hotels – Nothing disturbs a good night’s sleep more than the sound of other guests moving about in the room above yours or wheeling their suitcase past your door at midnight. Acoustic flooring will help reduce sound transmission between storeys and adjacent rooms and increase sound absorption along corridors to keep your guests coming back for some peace and quiet.

Modern luxury hotel suite interior

Care homes – Improve the chances of residents sleeping well and not disturbing each other by incorporating sound reducing flooring into your corridors and bedrooms. They are also beneficial in visitor lounges, to enhance that sense of privacy.

Education – Libraries, student accommodation, study areas, drama studios, music rooms, dining rooms and playrooms; all spaces that either demand quiet up front or would benefit from minimising noise transmission to other areas. The right floor can reduce impact sound transmission not just into adjoining rooms but also to other storeys.

Housing – Reduce tenant complaints about noisy neighbours next door, above or below them, by installing appropriate sound absorbing floors.

Hospitals – Peace and quiet aid recovery and protect privacy, so surfaces which contribute to them are essential across many areas of a hospital, including: intensive care or wards where resting and sleep are vital to patient recuperation; corridors where the sounds from trolleys and wheelchairs can be a constant source of distress; consultation rooms in which private conversations should not be overheard.

Offices – Office equipment, people on the move and conversations can all make noise levels so loud as to make offices a stressful working environment – not good when you spend the best part of your day there. Create a more positive working environment with less noise pollution in open plan spaces, communal areas and meeting rooms.

Retail – No-one like a noisy shop. Retail therapy by its very nature demands quiet for it to count as therapy and create the right atmosphere; thereby providing not only a more peaceful environment for staff, but also one in which shoppers will linger.

Most manufacturers have acoustic flooring options. Consider how each area is used and weigh-up sound reduction properties alongside those such as slip-resistance, durability, cleanability and aesthetics – you should be able to find options that deliver what you need.

At Altro, our 19dB vinyl acoustic floor, Altro Serenade, contributes to the impact sound reduction of noise in buildings by reducing impact sound transmission, increasing sound absorption and reducing sound reflection. Where noise reduction is needed to reduce in-room sound and transmission of noise you can also consider Altro Illustra adhesive-free, Altro Cantata adhesive-free, Altro Wood Comfort and Altro Wood adhesive-free floors which offer 14dB, Altro Ensemble and Altro Orchestra and Altro Orchestra Custom which offer 15dB (and comfort underfoot while maintaining the highest Commercial classification of use).

If this isn’t enough, don’t forget that you can combine the floor of your choice with impact sound reduction underlays. For example, Altro Acoustic Underlay 1101 and Altro Everlay B offer sound reductions of 18dB and 20dB respectively.

Noise-Reducing Flooring Solutions for Quieter Homes

Noise-Reducing Flooring Solutions for Quieter Homes

Author, Written by:  Bledy (Installation Expert and Technical Writer)

A peaceful home starts from the ground up. Whether you live in a multi-story house, an apartment, or a busy household, choosing the right noise-reducing flooring can significantly improve sound insulation. From soft materials that absorb noise to underlayment solutions that minimize impact sounds, here’s how to create a quieter living space.

1. Carpet: The Ultimate Sound Absorber 🧶

Carpet is one of the best flooring choices for noise reduction because it absorbs both impact noise (footsteps, furniture movement) and airborne noise (voices, TVs, pets).

✔ Thick, high-pile carpets offer maximum sound absorption. ✔ Wool and synthetic blends provide both comfort and insulation. ✔ Using a thick carpet pad underneath enhances soundproofing.

🏡 Best for: Bedrooms, living rooms, and upper floors.

2. Cork Flooring: Eco-Friendly & Quiet 🌿

Cork is a natural sound-dampening material that reduces both impact and echo noise. Its soft, cushiony texture makes it comfortable underfoot while preventing noise from traveling between floors.

✔ Naturally absorbs sound vibrations. ✔ Sustainable and eco-friendly choice. ✔ Warm and soft underfoot, adding comfort to any space.

🏡 Best for: Home offices, bedrooms, and apartments.

3. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) with Soundproof Underlay 🎵

LVP is a durable, water-resistant flooring that, when paired with an acoustic underlayment, provides excellent noise reduction.

✔ Reduces footstep noise with built-in foam backing. ✔ Works well in multi-story homes and apartments. ✔ Mimics wood and stone without the sound reflection of hard surfaces.

🏡 Best for: High-traffic areas, hallways, and kitchens.

4. Engineered Wood with Acoustic Underlayment 🌳

While solid hardwood can amplify sound, engineered wood with an acoustic underlayment can help control noise.

✔ Provides the elegance of wood without excessive echoing. ✔ Choose softer wood species like oak or walnut for better sound absorption. ✔ Works well with felt or rubber underlays to improve noise reduction.

🏡 Best for: Living areas, home offices, and shared spaces.

5. Rubber Flooring: The Soundproofing Powerhouse 🏋️‍♂️

Commonly used in gyms and playrooms, rubber flooring is an excellent noise absorber, especially for impact sounds.

✔ Minimizes vibrations and footsteps. ✔ Soft, cushioned, and ideal for high-energy spaces. ✔ Works well over concrete subfloors for added insulation.

🏡 Best for: Playrooms, home gyms, and high-traffic areas.

6. Acoustic Underlayments: A Must-Have for Soundproofing 🎤

Regardless of your flooring choice, adding a high-quality underlayment can significantly reduce noise transmission.

✔ Cork underlay – Best for wood and laminate floors. ✔ Foam or rubber underlay – Ideal for vinyl and engineered wood. ✔ Felt underlay – Great for carpet, enhancing softness and sound absorption.

Final Touches for a Quieter Home

Pairing noise-reducing flooring with soft furnishings like rugs, curtains, and upholstered furniture can further dampen sound. A combination of thoughtful flooring choices and acoustic treatments will ensure your home stays peaceful and quiet.

How to Choose the Right Underlayment for Laminate and Vinyl Flooring

How to Choose the Right Underlayment for Laminate and Vinyl Flooring

Author, Written by:  Bledy (Installation Expert and Technical Writer)

Choosing the right underlayment is crucial when installing laminate or vinyl flooring. It plays a key role in improving comfort, reducing noise, and protecting your floors from moisture and wear. But with so many options available, how do you decide which one’s best for your home? Here's a guide to help you make the right choice.

Why Is Underlayment/Underlay Important?

Underlayment acts as a buffer layer between your subfloor and the flooring above. It provides:

✔ Sound Reduction – Minimizes noise, especially in multi-story homes. ✔ Moisture Protection – Prevents dampness from seeping into your flooring. ✔ Thermal Insulation – Helps maintain warmth underfoot. ✔ Floor Stability – Smooths out minor imperfections in the subfloor.

Choosing Underlayment for Laminate Flooring

Since laminate is a floating floor, underlayment is essential for both comfort and stability. Consider these options:

1. Standard Foam Underlayment

✔ Affordable and lightweight. ✔ Ideal for dry areas with minimal moisture concerns. ✔ Best suited for second floors, bedrooms, and living rooms.

💡 Look for options with added soundproofing if noise is a concern.

2. Combination Underlayment (With Moisture Barrier)

✔ Includes a built-in vapor barrier to prevent moisture damage. ✔ Perfect for installations over concrete subfloors or in basements. ✔ Offers both sound reduction and moisture protection in one layer.

💡 Recommended for kitchens, utility rooms, and ground-floor installations.

3. Cork Underlayment

✔ Naturally resistant to mold and mildew. ✔ Provides excellent sound absorption. ✔ Eco-friendly and suitable for homes with allergy concerns.

💡 Ideal for apartments, flats, or rooms needing extra noise control.

Choosing Underlayment for Vinyl Flooring

Since many vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) options come with a built-in underlayment, you may not always need an extra layer. However, in cases where underlayment is required, consider these options:

1. Felt Underlayment

✔ Provides thermal insulation and noise reduction. ✔ Ideal for vinyl floors installed over wood subfloors. ✔ Adds comfort underfoot.

2. Rigid Underlayment Boards

✔ Suitable for glue-down vinyl tiles or planks. ✔ Provides a solid, stable base for vinyl floors. ✔ Helps correct uneven subfloors.

💡 Recommended for heavy-use areas like hallways or kitchens.

3. Vapor Barrier Underlayment

✔ Crucial for vinyl floors over concrete subfloors. ✔ Prevents moisture from rising and damaging your flooring.

💡 A must-have for basements or ground floors.

Key Tips for Selecting the Right Underlayment

✅ Check Manufacturer Recommendations – Some laminate and vinyl floors require specific types of underlayment to maintain warranty coverage. ✅ Match the Underlayment to Your Subfloor – Concrete, wood, and tile may require different moisture protection or leveling. ✅ Consider Noise Control – Choose thicker options like cork or felt in noisy areas like upper floors.

Final Tip for a Smooth Installation

Before laying underlayment, ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and level. This helps maximize the performance and lifespan of your flooring.

Your Floor’s Best Foundation

The right underlayment enhances your floor’s comfort, durability, and performance. Whether you’re installing laminate in a cozy living room or vinyl in a moisture-prone basement, choosing the correct base layer makes all the difference.

Still unsure which underlayment suits your space? Feel free to ask—we’re here to help!

Enhance Your Flooring with Cork and XPS Underlayment

When installing luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring, choosing the right underlay is crucial for durability, comfort, and sound insulation. One of the best solutions for ensuring a high-quality flooring experience is using cork underlay for LVT flooring and XPS underlayment. These underlays provide excellent benefits, making them an ideal choice for homeowners and businesses alike.

Why Choose Cork Underlay for LVT Flooring?

Cork underlay is a popular choice due to its sustainability, soundproofing, and comfort-enhancing properties. Made from natural cork material, it acts as an excellent shock absorber, reducing noise levels and enhancing underfoot comfort. When used with LVT flooring, cork underlay ensures improved thermal insulation, making rooms feel warmer and more energy-efficient.

Benefits of Cork Underlay

Superior Sound Insulation – Cork effectively reduces impact noise, making it an ideal choice for apartments, offices, and homes with multiple levels.

Eco-Friendly Material – Sourced from renewable cork oak trees, it is a sustainable option for those seeking environmentally responsible flooring solutions.

Thermal Efficiency – Helps retain heat, making floors feel warmer, especially in colder months.

Durability & Comfort – Provides a softer feel underfoot while prolonging the life of LVT flooring.

XPS Underlayment: The Perfect Support System

For those looking for an alternative underlay option,XPS underlayment UK is another excellent choice. Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a lightweight, rigid foam material that offers outstanding support and moisture resistance. It is particularly beneficial for installations over concrete subfloors or in areas prone to moisture buildup.

Key Features of XPS Underlayment

Moisture Resistance – Unlike traditional foam underlays, XPS prevents moisture from seeping through, protecting the flooring from potential damage.

High Compressive Strength – Provides stable support for LVT flooring, reducing the risk of dents and wear over time.

Excellent Insulation – Enhances both thermal and acoustic insulation, creating a more comfortable indoor environment.

Lightweight & Easy to Install – Simple to handle and cut, making installation hassle-free and efficient.

Choosing the Right Underlay for Your Flooring

Both cork and XPS underlays provide unique benefits, and the choice depends on individual needs. If sustainability and soundproofing are priorities, cork underlay is the ideal choice. On the other hand, for moisture-prone areas and enhanced durability, XPS underlayment is highly recommended.

When selecting an underlay, factors such as subfloor type, room usage, and climate conditions should be considered. Whether installing LVT flooring in residential or commercial spaces, investing in a high-quality underlay enhances longevity and performance.

Carpet Underlay Dubai: Essential for Comfort, Durability, and Performance

When it comes to creating a comfortable and durable flooring solution in Dubai, carpets are a popular choice. However, many homeowners and business owners often overlook one essential component that can significantly improve the overall performance of their carpets—carpet underlay Dubai. Often referred to as carpet padding, underlay is a layer of material placed between the carpet and the floor. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of carpet underlay, the types available, and why investing in high-quality underlay is essential in Dubai.

Why is Carpet Underlay Important?

Carpet underlay serves several crucial purposes that go beyond comfort. Here are some of the main reasons why underlay is necessary:

Enhanced Comfort and Cushioning

One of the main benefits of carpet underlay is the added comfort it provides. It creates a cushioned layer beneath the carpet, making walking on the carpet feel softer and more comfortable. This can be especially beneficial for homes and businesses in Dubai, where temperatures can be extreme, and a soft, cushioned floor can provide a much-needed reprieve.

Improved Carpet Longevity

Carpet underlay can significantly extend the life of your carpet. By acting as a shock absorber, it reduces the wear and tear that can occur from constant foot traffic, particularly in high-traffic areas. Without an underlay, the carpet fibers are more likely to compress and deteriorate over time. In a place like Dubai, where temperatures can cause carpets to wear out more quickly, having a quality underlay can help protect your investment.

Better Insulation and Soundproofing

Underlay also contributes to the insulation of a space. It acts as a barrier, reducing the amount of heat loss through the floor, which can be crucial in maintaining comfortable temperatures in your home or office. Moreover, underlay can help reduce sound transmission, making it ideal for apartments, hotels, or offices where noise control is important.

Enhanced Carpet Performance

High-quality underlay improves the overall performance of the carpet. It helps the carpet retain its shape and prevents it from slipping or bunching up. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and offices where a secure, smooth carpet surface is essential for safety and aesthetics.

Types of Carpet Underlay Available in Dubai

There are several types of carpet underlay materials, each offering different benefits and features. Here are some of the most common types you’ll find in Dubai:

Foam Underlay

Foam underlay is one of the most popular options due to its affordability and ease of installation. It provides good cushioning and noise insulation, making it suitable for residential areas. Foam underlay is available in various thicknesses, allowing you to choose the level of comfort and support that suits your needs.

Rubber Underlay

Rubber underlay is highly durable and resistant to compression, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. It offers excellent support for carpets, preventing them from losing their shape over time. Rubber underlay also provides excellent soundproofing, which can be particularly valuable in multi-story buildings or offices.

Felt Underlay

Felt underlay is made from compressed wool or recycled fibers and is known for its durability and eco-friendliness. It provides excellent cushioning and insulation and is particularly suited for heavy-use areas. Felt underlay is often preferred in commercial spaces in Dubai where both comfort and durability are essential.

Memory Foam Underlay

For those seeking superior comfort, memory foam underlay is an excellent option. It contours to the shape of your feet, offering an extra level of softness and luxury. This type of underlay is perfect for areas where comfort is a priority, such as bedrooms or living rooms.

Choosing the Right Underlay for Your Carpet in Dubai

When selecting carpet underlay, it’s essential to consider factors like the level of foot traffic, the type of carpet, and the specific needs of your space. For example, a commercial space or high-traffic area in Dubai would benefit from rubber or felt underlay due to their durability and ability to withstand wear and tear. On the other hand, foam or memory foam underlay may be ideal for residential areas where comfort and insulation are key priorities.

Conclusion

Carpet underlay may seem like a minor component in the overall flooring solution, but its benefits cannot be overstated. In Dubai’s climate and high-traffic environments, investing in a high-quality underlay ensures your carpets Dubai lasts longer, performs better, and provides greater comfort. Whether you're enhancing your home, office, or commercial space, choosing the right underlay will contribute to a more pleasant and durable flooring experience. So, next time you install a new carpet, remember that the right underlay is just as essential for optimal performance!

Why does your shopping mall need acoustic services for a better experience?

A shopping mall is a conglomeration of different retail and food options. But the blend of big open spaces, soaring ceilings and hard surfaces can mean too much noise. Without sound treatment, the soundscape can become very noisy and uncomfortable for the customer, as well as negatively impact the operations of the retail site. Well-designed acoustic products offer a balanced auditory environment that makes for a comfortable shopping experience for both customers and employees.

Excessive Noise and Echo

Shopping malls have high foot traffic while background music plays and many conversations occur at once. These sounds bounce off hard surfaces, which can create excessive noise and distracting echoes.

Poor Speech Intelligibility

A location where excessive ambient noise can create problems for customers is in food courts, event spaces, and retail stores, where customers need to be able to hear announcements, talk with sales staff, or enjoy a comfortable dining experience.

External Sources of Noise Intrusion

So, the mall located in a city is often prone to extreme levels of noise pollution from outside real estate such as traffic, construction and street activity. If sound events reach your home, without quality sound barriers, these disturbances can enter your indoor environment.

Uneven Sound Distribution

Things like malls need zoned sound control to maintain an equilibrium between background music and announcements in different areas. Inadequate control on sound distribution results in regions with excessive noise and regions with inadequate noise, thus leading to an inconsistent experience of sounds.

Shopping Mall Acoustic Optimization — Why It Is So Important?

Improving and Ensuring Customer Satisfaction

A balanced acoustic environment reduces noise fatigue so visitors can enjoy a pleasant and stress-free shopping experience.

Boosting Retail Sales

An ambient atmosphere attracts customers and not only does the amount of time spent in a shop increase, but also leads to improved sales and customer engagement.

Improvements in Communication and Announcements

Smooth public address (PA) systems are essential for transmitting promotional announcements, emergency alerts, and routine notices. Proper acoustic treatment: these messages are then heard clearly across the mall.

Improving Productivity of the Employees

Retail workers established in noisy environments might face challenges coordinating work and maintaining focus. Good acoustic design helps contain distractions so employees can focus and be productive.

Acoustic Solutions for Shopping Malls

Acoustic Ceiling Treatments

By absorbing excess noise and reducing reverberation, ceiling baffles, panels, and clouds help create a more controlled sound environment.

Wall-Mounted Acoustic Panels

Decorative and functional acoustic wall paneling are designed to minimize sound reflection in high-traffic areas — an excellent way to cut down on background noise and sharpen the voices you want to hear.

Good market planning and good business architecture

In malls, soundproof windows, doors, and partitions can reduce outside noise pollution from entering the premises, ensuring a peaceful environment inside.

Acoustic Flooring Solutions

Carpets, rubber flooring, or acoustic underlays reduce footstep noise, and they help with the sound of footsteps traveling from area to area in the mall.

Styled for Zones for an Equalized Sound

For example, a zoned audio system allows background music and announcements to be strategically distributed in different mall sections, reducing the risk of audio distortion or uneven sound levels.

Improving Food Court and Restaurant Sound Quality

Food courts are one of the loudest parts of a mall. Sound-absorbing ceiling tiles, booth partitions and acoustic furniture help regulate noise levels and enhance speech clarity.

The Evolution of Entertainment and Event Space Optimization

For retail hubs that include cinemas, game zones or performance spaces, acoustic insulation and sound-diffusing elements help to enrich the overall entertainment experience.

Best Tile Installation Materials for High-Traffic Areas

Tiles are a fantastic flooring option, but when it comes to high-traffic areas, you need to be extra picky about the materials you use. The last thing you want is cracked tiles, loose grout, or a surface that wears out quickly. Whether it’s a bustling office lobby, a busy kitchen, or a commercial showroom, choosing the right tile installation materials makes all the difference. Let’s dive into the best options to ensure durability, longevity, and style.

1. Understanding High-Traffic Areas

Before jumping into materials, let’s define what we mean by “high-traffic areas.” These are spaces where footfall is frequent and often intense. Think of places like:

Entryways and hallways

Kitchens and dining areas

Commercial spaces like restaurants and malls

Office floors and lobbies

Public restrooms

These areas experience constant pressure, dirt, moisture, and movement, making it crucial to select materials that can withstand daily wear and tear.

2. Best Tile Types for High-Traffic Areas

Not all tiles are created equal. Here are some of the best types of tiles for busy areas:

Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain is a top choice for high-traffic zones. It’s dense, water-resistant, and highly durable. Plus, it comes in various styles, including wood and stone looks, without the maintenance hassle.

Ceramic Tiles

While not as strong as porcelain, high-quality ceramic tiles with a hard glaze can work well in residential high-traffic areas like kitchens and hallways.

Natural Stone Tiles

Marble, granite, and travertine are elegant options. They need sealing but can last a lifetime when properly maintained.

Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT)

If you want a softer underfoot feel without compromising durability, LVT is a fantastic option. It mimics stone and wood while offering better shock absorption and noise reduction.

3. Essential Tile Installation Materials

Choosing the right tile is only half the battle—you also need the best installation materials to keep them in place. Here’s what you should consider:

Tile Adhesives: The glue that holds everything together.

Grouts: Fills gaps between tiles, ensuring a seamless finish.

Underlayments: Adds stability and reduces cracking.

4. Tile Adhesives: What Works Best?

Using the right adhesive is crucial for keeping tiles secure. Here are the top choices:

Thin-Set Mortar: Best for porcelain and ceramic tiles, offering excellent bond strength and moisture resistance.

Epoxy-Based Adhesives: Ideal for commercial spaces where extreme durability is required.

Mastic Adhesive: Works for walls and low-moisture areas, but not suitable for floors.

5. Choosing the Right Grout

Grout does more than fill gaps—it protects tiles from shifting and cracking. Here’s what you need to know:

Sanded Grout: Best for larger grout lines (over 1/8 inch), providing durability and resistance to cracking.

Unsanded Grout: Suitable for narrow joints (under 1/8 inch), commonly used for walls and delicate tiles.

Epoxy Grout: The strongest option, stain-resistant and perfect for commercial settings.

6. Underlayment and Its Importance

Underlayment might not be visible, but it plays a huge role in the longevity of your tiles. Options include:

Cement Backer Board: Adds extra strength and water resistance.

Uncoupling Membrane: Prevents cracking by allowing minor movement in the subfloor.

Foam Underlay: Ideal for LVT, providing extra cushioning and soundproofing.

7. Additional Tips for Long-Lasting Tile Installation

To maximize the lifespan of your tiled surfaces, follow these expert tips:

Seal Your Tiles and Grout: This prevents moisture damage and stains.

Use the Right Cleaning Products: Harsh chemicals can erode grout and dull tile finishes.

Regular Inspections: Fix loose tiles or grout as soon as issues arise.

Choose Slip-Resistant Tiles: Especially for wet areas like bathrooms and entryways.

Conclusion

When it comes to high-traffic areas, durability is key. Choosing the right tiles is important, but pairing them with the best tiles installation Nj materials ensures they last for years. From selecting the right adhesive to investing in quality grout and underlayment, every detail matters. So, whether you're remodeling your home or working on a commercial project, make sure you use top-notch materials to keep your floors looking flawless and strong for the long haul!
