Sound proofing an apartment floor.

[Time's Ran Out]

I have advised a customer to have sound proof boards laid prior to receiving a covering of slate tiles.
Its only a small hallway entrance of a top floor apartment but realise that lease agreements often restrict the installation of hard floors!
Now I need to look at the options available but I'am restricted to maximum 10/15mm thickness for the boards as the slate+ will present a step into the room if I use thicker .
Price is not a factor at this stage so no discussion in this forum is necessary.
Thanks.

Have you thought about the cork stuff?

Was given it to use last year on an apartment block for one the big house bashers , it was only about 2mm/3mm thick.

Something like this:


Mapesonic CR 2mm x 30m Sound Proofing Acoustic Membrane

Diggy

I used the Dural felt (silent tread) i think, only about 3mm.

if it is a communal area or non occupied area it should not need sound proofing from a regs point of view. Hallways and kitchens don't get tested. You can of course put it in as a matter of choice. I would recommend a chat with Cellecta or thermal ecconomics Ltd who both have tileable solutions for refurb work.

Might be sorted out now buddy, the thread is from 2013.
Not that I mind them becoming current topic. It always helps other people when threads are continued.

Oops. Should have read it properly..... Still I got a cold so that is my excuse..

I can't remember if I've just taken my codeine for my back, and wondering whether I take them. I either trip my sack off with double dose, or don't take any and risk pain in about a hour.
