Our 4.5mm Acoustic Rubber Underlay is a premium, high-density rubber underlay
designed for applications where exceptional sound performance and long-term
durability are essential. Suitable for both domestic and commercial
projects, this underlay delivers industry-leading acoustic reduction,
making spaces quieter, more comfortable and more stable underfoot.
Whether you're refurbishing a flat, upgrading a multi-storey property,
insulating hotel rooms or improving soundproofing in busy family homes,
this product provides a reliable and professional-grade foundation for
laminate, engineered wood and click-system floors.
Its dense rubber structure reduces impact sound transmission and ensures
long-lasting compression strength, helping protect your flooring from wear
over time while maintaining a solid, stable feel.
Exceptional Acoustic Performance
The 4.5mm acoustic rubber layer offers outstanding impact sound reduction —
up to **26dB**, depending on the flooring system. This makes it ideal for:
- Multi-level homes
- Apartment buildings
- Offices & commercial units
- Hotels & student accommodation
The dense composition absorbs vibrations before they pass through the
subfloor, ensuring noticeable improvements in noise control and comfort.
Moisture & Subfloor Protection
A built-in gold vapour barrier helps prevent moisture transfer from the
subfloor. When installed with vapour tape, it forms a continuous protective
layer, reducing the risk of movement, swelling and long-term damage to the
flooring above.
Easy Installation & Professional Reliability
This underlay is designed for installers who require both performance and
practicality. It cuts cleanly, lays flat and works perfectly beneath:
- Engineered wood flooring
- LVT (floating systems)
- Laminate flooring
- Click-system flooring
Its high tensile strength ensures the floor above remains supported,
helping prevent hollow spots, creaking and premature board movement.
It also assists with slight subfloor unevenness, helping create a smoother,
more stable finish across large areas.
For advice on suitability, installation, subfloor preparation or quantity
calculations, our Timberzone team is always available to help.
