Floor acoustic treatments compared
What do these terms all mean? We compare the following key issues.
1) Floor height gain - How much floor height will rise as a result of soundproofing
2) Labour intensity - How long will the job take? In general lifting all the floor boards will add dramatically to the time required to complete the soundproofing
3) Typical Airborne uplift - This gives you an idea about how much airborne sound your stopping coming up from below ( or from above) TV / Talking that kind of thing. The bigger the number displayed the better the performance.
4) Typical Impact Uplift - This gives you an idea about how much impact ( footfall) sound your stopping going downstairs. The bigger the number displayed the better the performance.
