"I’m one of these people that want a job done well. Quietco came to my house and did a demo on what the floor of what it look like. It wasn’t cheap but I understood the layout and of what was needed. I had problem with the floor squeaking because it was a new build house of two years old. They found the fault and fixed it, which was not in their job requirements. Jim is one of those people if he is not happy he would go out of his way to fix it.

The job was cleared up on time and I am very pleased with the result. One thing though you only get what you pay for. The floor did its job while we used the gym. Very pleased with the floor. Great job lads, thank you, I would not hesitate to use their service again."

TPS60F icon

TPS60F

What it does

This space saver soundproof flooring system allows you to re-use your existing floorboards. It reduces sound travelling between the separating floor using the most advanced soundproofing materials compacted between the joists, in layers that will make very little difference to the floor’s height.

Soundproof floor TPS60F

Where it works best

The TPS60F soundproof flooring system is best suited for customers who want to expose wooden floorboards and are less concerned about noise transmitted downstairs. It’s a great choice for those customers with historic period buildings where floorboards must be re-used or left exposed.

Impact noise reduction 80%+

TPS80F icon

TPS80F

What it does

Restricts sound from the room below travelling through floor joists. The floating soundproof floor is isolated from the structure, so noise finds it difficult to transmit into the newly finished floor.

Where it works best

The TPS80F Ultimate soundproof flooring system is best suited for customers who want a good level of impact and airborne noise reduction. The best results are achieved when the walls are the existing render or treated with TPS30W.

It is a great choice for those customers who can afford the 20mm height change to the floor and/or customers who do not have access to the ceilings below and want the best soundproof floor system installed from above.

TPSE icon

TPSE

What it does

Reducing sound travelling between the floor and the ceiling below, TPSE works hand in hand with TPS50C to exceed the current edition of approved document Part E of the Building Regulations: resistance to the passage of sound.

The TPSE floating soundproof floor system isolates the new floor from the structure through its resilient layers, giving great impact noise results from the floor to the ceiling below.

Soundproof floor using TPSE floating floor

Where it works best

The TPSE soundproof flooring system is best suited for customers treating impact noise from the floors above, where access to the floors is possible. To meet approved Part E of the Building Regulations, the ceiling below must also be treated. For more commercial work, see our Office Soundproofing website.

TPSE is also a great choice for architects and developers renovating flats and separating floors.

TPSP icon

TPSP

What it does

Reduces sound travelling between the floor above and the ceilings below. The premium floating soundproof floor is isolated from the joists and all the walls in the room. The interlocking layers provide good airborne and impact noise improvement.

Where it works best

The TPSP soundproof flooring system is best suited for customers with severe impact noise problems such as footsteps, furniture movement and vibration from the floor above.

It is a great choice for customers that only want to soundproof the bedroom upstairs. This unique flooring system isolates the bedroom floor from the structure of the house, massively reducing vibration. 

TPSP is also used by developers and architects who design luxury apartments that require a premium level of soundproofing that far exceeds approved Part E of the Building Regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: We specialise in floor soundproofing products to treat unwanted noise in your home. Whether it’s reducing noise from neighbours, road traffic noise or even keeping your own noise in. Soundproofing works by adding layers of acoustic insulation to floors which reduces the amount of sound that can pass through; with our systems offering up to 80% human perceived reduction in airborne noise.

A: Flanking areas are those areas of your property where sound can transmit indirectly or by going around rather than directly through the main conflicting wall or floor.Even if the main conflicting surface has been soundproofed to a high standard, sound can still transmit through the flanking areas.Some flanking paths can be lounder than the direct paths. Examples of flanking areas for a party wall would be: the floor, ceiling, window wall, RSJ entering the party wall, stud walls, chimneys stacks, bay window ceilings.

A: You are able to soundproof an apartment floor, as long as you own the apartment or you have permission from the landlord.

A: Depending on what kind of noise your downstairs neighbours are experiencing, will depend on whether floor soundproofing will work or whether they will need ceiling soundproofing. 

A: This noise can be reduced by 80% with some of our systems. We have a range of floor systems designed to absorb and reflect this kind of noise. Although better to treat the noise at source by treating the ceilings below if possible.

A: If you are hearing impact noise such as footsteps and footfall, creaking floorboards, doors slamming, plug sockets and light switches, the soundproofing needs to be treated from above. We need to install a resilient layer between the neighbours floor joists and their floor boards. This means pulling up your neighbours flat floor and installing a floating floor isolated from the structure. Heavy duty underlay from specialist acoustic suppliers installed under the carpet will not solve the problem and more often makes creaking floor boards and similar noises worse. If you are experiencing loud music, TV, conversation, radio, alarm clocks and video games, then we can install a ceiling system such as TPS70C to your ceiling, offering a human perceived noise improvement of 70%. However if your walls are plaster-boarded, these will have to be treated as well in order to get the full integrity out of your ceiling investment.

A: Separating floor refers to flat living and includes the combined construction of ceiling and floor which separates the two flats where one occupant on the ground floor will have a ceiling separating the neighbour above and the occupant in the flat above will have a floor separating the neighbour below. It gets even more complicated because in many cases one flat owner will own the space in void between the ceiling and the floor.

A: Soundproofing works by adding layers of acoustic insulation to floors which reduces the amount of sound that can pass through; with our systems offering up to 80% human perceived reduction in airborne noise. We have products to suit every requirement.

A: Either of these can be used after soundproofing. Carpet will offer better sound reduction for impact noises as it is not a hard surface like hardwood flooring.  It also acts as a sound absorber as it reduces the sound energy bouncing around in the room.
