The DAMTEC® Multi underlay is a cost effective, 100% black rubber compound underlay which has a superior density of approx. 970kg/m3 allowing for all types of timber flooring to be adhered on top of a more rigid substrate and hence reducing the risk of deflection and movement in the timber floor under point load duress and therefore also enhancing the overall structural stability of the floor system. When assessing an appropriate underlay that is “fit for purpose” this critical point is often overlooked.
How much noise reduction can I expect from Damtec Acoustic Underlay?
Damtec is a well-regarded underlay for impact sound reduction. Depending on the thickness (2mm to 6mm), it can meaningfully reduce the sound of footsteps and furniture moving, which is often a requirement for apartment and multi-storey living.
Can I install Damtec Acoustic Rolls under floating timber and glued-down cork?
Yes, Damtec is versatile. It can be “loose-laid” for floating floors or “double-bonded” (glued to the subfloor and the flooring) for a permanent, silent installation.
Is Damtec underlay eco-friendly?
Yes, Damtec rolls are made from recycled rubber and cork granules. They’re rot-resistant and low-emission, and are designed to resist dust and allergens for a healthier indoor environment.
