Quality impact sound insulation

Hi,

Is there a cheaper alternative to the Haro Silent Pro

There definitely is, they also have different products. But does it really make that much of a difference? How many square meters do you need? 100 sqm? Does it really matter whether you spend 100 € or 500 €? You will have the laminate flooring in there for the next 10-20 years!

Best regards,

Andreas

I'll see what we have. I found that to be very good. The role also weighs easily 10 kg.

Otherwise, check if you have a laminate depot near you. They sell their impact sound insulation at very reasonable prices.

So we have about 70 m^2 of laminate flooring. That would be 420 euros at 6 euros per m^2. Unfortunately, we can't afford that right now.

At 3 euros per m^2, I would probably consider it. That's why I'm grateful for any help here.

If necessary, I'll just have to take what was supplied.

"Wash my fur, but don't get me wet!" One could certainly see it that way. Hello "Chriscross." >As cheap as possible< is always in contradiction to comprehensive material properties of a building material that the heart desires. Laminate, due to its low material thickness, is predestined for "drum effects," a term from the 1990s. Only mass and close coupling help here. Many years ago, I once launched a system aimed at installing laminate floor elements with a dry adhesive on an 8mm thick rubber granulate mat. That worked well; it shifted the high "clacking effect" when walked on almost entirely into low frequencies, which were not disturbing. The only drawback was the higher price. Consumers don't want that! But without investing money, you cannot acoustically convert an inexpensive floor system. The films, whether 2mm or thicker, only have the effect of "squeak protection." If sand grains lie on the screed surface during installation, well, it simply doesn't squeak that much when walked on. However, this has nothing to do with impact sound insulation! That is located under every screed in residential buildings and is at least 25mm thick. In conclusion: the advertising of such underlayment systems relies heavily on the aspect of impact sound reduction with much "fluff," so that a floor system already resonant by design can still be sold. The best sound insulation for floor elements, however, is full-surface bonding. Well, not every manufacturer approves their systems for this, but based on many years of experience with floors, I can say that this will work if done properly! Condition: the residential property is owned or a written approval from the owner has been given that bonding is allowed. -------------------------------------------- Regards: KlaRa

Hello,

your first statement is already correct. However, I am a fan of "not paying too much money for garbage." In the end, we have now decided on the Wineo Sound Protect ECO Profi. 3mm for 7.50 euros RRP from the manufacturer. Of course, I paid less. But I think this is a good compromise in terms of price/performance.
