Acoustic Rubber

Acoustic rubber is a dense, resilient material used within soundproofing systems to help reduce sound and vibration transfer. Depending on the product, it can be used within floors, walls and other building constructions.

Acoustic rubber helps isolate surfaces and absorb vibration that would otherwise transfer through the building structure. Its density and resilience make it useful as one component within a wider acoustic treatment.

Yes. Acoustic rubber is commonly used in flooring applications to help reduce impact noise and vibration. The required product will depend on the floor construction, floor finish and acoustic performance required.

Where a more comprehensive treatment is required, acoustic rubber can be incorporated into a wider floor soundproofing solution rather than being relied on as a standalone material.

Certain acoustic rubber products can be incorporated into wall soundproofing systems. Dense acoustic layers can help increase the overall sound reduction of a wall when combined with appropriate insulation, boards and isolation methods.

Acoustic rubber is particularly useful for reducing vibration and structure-borne sound. In flooring systems, resilient rubber layers can help isolate impacts such as footsteps from the structure beneath.

The appropriate thickness depends on the application and acoustic performance required. A thicker product is not automatically the best option, so the floor or wall construction and intended use should be considered when selecting acoustic rubber.
