Sound Barrier Systems

Reduce Noise Transference

Strata councils increasingly demand sound barriers installed with hardwood floors.

Using a sound absorbing underlay beneath the hardwood floor considerably reduces noise transference. After thorough testing of the many options currently available, BC Hardwood recommends and installs a specially manufactured underlay for optimal sound absorption.

Sound barriers can be installed:

  • directly under floating or glue-down floors
  • under a nail-down floor when the subfloor is floating
  • Regupol-QTscuTM – sound control underlayment

    BC Hardwood is proud to supply and install the Regupol-QT line of products. This line is engineered to provide better performance than any other sound control product available, and have been rigorously tested to achieve proven results.

    A flat, resilient underlayment made from 100% recycled rubber, Regupol-QT is used directly under a variety of floor finishes, including ceramic tile, vinyl, wood, laminate and stone. Regupol-QT yields exceptional results over both concrete and wood joist constructions. Available in 4’ wide rolls, and in two thicknesses – 5mm and 10mm.
