Sound Proofing Floors

High-density foam from Metropolitan Insulation Services is effective for soundproofing floors in residential and commercial properties, whilst being cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. While it is not always possible to completely silence a noise, soundproofing reduces the intensity of noise pollution through floors – usually impact noise - as much as is technically possible. Very loud noise, particularly sounds of low frequency though still audible, will be significantly reduced.

If the room to be insulated is on the first floor, the ceiling below should ideally be soundproofed with spray foam solution. A floating floor using a fill of our polyurethane foam may be easily installed – offering an immediate and effective improvement in both airborne and impact sound.

Sound Insulating Concrete Suspended Floors

Airborne noise problems are less common in concrete floors, due to their mass so noise issues associated with concrete floors are more often than not due to flanking noise. The effective way to resolve this problem is to soundproof the affected adjoining supportive walls with our spray foam solution – this provides resilient insulation. The benefits of soundproofing floors with our spray foam solution:

• Quicker than cutting foam-boards to fit
• Twice the insulation value of glass fibre
• Expands to seal all gaps and provides its own vapour control layer
• Offers strength and sound-insulation and cuts out unwanted air leakage
• Complete design and installation service available for sound insulation
• All materials manufactured to ISO 9002
• 10 – 25 year guarantees
• Additional insurance bonded guarantees

Our product also offers significant sound absorption capacity, helping to create a more comfortable environment in which to live, work or relax. Its thermal, heat retaining and anti-condensation properties are equally impressive.

Spray foam insulation is a safe, green alternative to other insulation materials.
