Very good video and well explained. Am thinking of this to reduce airborne sound from my neighbours below us. I'm a bit sceptical however that you didn't repeat the sound test in exactly the same way - testing airborne sound travelling from downstairs to upstairs after the install. Was there a reason for this ?
HI, thanks for the comment. To be honest, it was just because of practicalities. The hotel was still open and people were coming and going, and having a film crew getting in the way was causing some issues. In terms of results whether you test from upstairs to downstairs or the other way around makes very little to no difference at those volumes.
@@SoundproofingStore ah ok makes sense thanks. Had one other question, would it make it even more effective to install two layers of the mat? We don’t mind cutting the doors to accommodate it if needed.
Hi @@bassbytes if you wanted to upgrade the performance even further, a simple solution would be to add FlexiSound and then the SoundMat. Further info. on FlexiSound can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fffHFAVgdGI.html We also have other flooring solutions: www.soundproofingstore.co.uk/timber-joisted-floors and we're only a phone call away should you have any questions (01423) 206208.
Hi, A little confused with the test, the first test the music was playing from the room below the sound proofed room to test how much sound is being received from the room below. In the second test it was the opposite. I am trying to reduce TV/Music noise from the room below, so would be good to understand if the product will accomplish this or whether its more from stopping noise escaping rather than being received.
Hi @IbrahimAli-f3q, for airborne noise the SoundMat 3 Plus works in both directions. Helping to block unwanted airborne noise from above travelling to the room below and from the room below travelling to the room above. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can help any further (01423) 206208.
Hi @AMR-in9rd, You would need to use the Perimeter Flanking Strip: soundproofingstore.uk/product/deck-perimeter-edging-strip/ Further installation instructions can be found here: www.soundproofingstore.co.uk/soundmat-3-plus Please don't hesitate to call us on (01423) 206208 should you have any questions.
Hi, thanks for the comment. So for a material to be "breathable" it has to be porous. It needs to allow air to be able to pass throught it. Unfortunately if air can pass through it, sound can pass through it. It's important in soundproofing to use materials that make the surface air-tight. If it has to be breathable, then all you can really do is add some acoustic mineral wool insulation into any floor or wall cavities and this will help to some degree.
Hi, thanks for the question. The SoundMat 3 Plus will increase the thermal performance of the floor to some degree but obviously isn't designed or tested specifically for thermal performance. There is a little info about the thermal performance of each layer of the SoundMat in our product brochure which you can download from here - www.soundproofingstore.co.uk/soundmat-3-plus
