Impact Barrier Mat Floor Soundproofing System

A slim floor soundproofing system designed to reduce impact noise
Combines Absorbalay 15 with Tecsound 100 Non-Adhesive Membrane
Ideal where you need a minimal build-up over an existing floor

Our Impact Barrier Mat Solution:

Impact Mat System

Absorbalay 15 barrier mat

Tecsound 100 acoustic membrane

Low-profile floor build-up

This system is designed for projects where you want to improve floor soundproofing without adding a deep floor construction.

Impact Noise Reduction

Helps reduce footstep noise

Helps reduce movement vibration

Adds a resilient barrier layer

The Absorbalay layer helps soften impact transfer, while the Tecsound membrane adds acoustic mass to the floor build-up.

Slim Floor Build-Up

Suitable for existing timber floors

Minimal additional floor height

Works beneath suitable floor finishes

This is a practical option where floor height is limited and a simple overlay system is preferred.

Performance can vary depending on the existing floor structure, gaps, flanking paths and final floor finish. For best results, the floor should be prepared carefully and all joints should be fitted neatly with minimal gaps.

The Impact Barrier Mat system works by combining a dense acoustic membrane with a resilient barrier mat. Tecsound 100 Non-Adhesive Membrane adds acoustic mass to the floor build-up, helping reduce sound transfer through the existing floor.

Absorbalay 15 sits above the membrane as an impact-reducing layer. This helps reduce vibration and footstep noise before it travels through the floor structure below.

This system can be upgraded by treating the ceiling below or by adding acoustic insulation between the joists if the floor void is accessible.

For higher performance, especially where airborne noise is also a problem, consider combining the floor system with a ceiling soundproofing system below.

The Impact Barrier Mat system is suitable for timber floors where a slim overlay solution is needed. It is often used in flats, bedrooms, living spaces, rental properties and rooms where footstep noise is an issue.

It is a good option when you want to improve floor soundproofing without building up the floor height too much.

Start by preparing the existing floor so it is clean, stable and free from loose boards or raised fixings. Any obvious gaps or weak points should be dealt with before the acoustic layers are installed.

Lay the Tecsound 100 Non-Adhesive Membrane over the floor area, keeping joints tight. The Absorbalay 15 barrier mat is then fitted above the membrane, again keeping edges neat and avoiding unnecessary gaps. The final floor finish should be installed in line with the flooring manufacturer’s guidance.

Have You Thought About These Other Weak Spots?

Walls

Sound can still travel through adjoining walls, especially in flats, terraced homes and rooms that share a party wall. Wall soundproofing can help complete the room treatment.

Ceilings

If noise is travelling between floors, the ceiling below may also need treatment. Ceiling systems can help reduce airborne sound, impact noise and vibration transfer.

FAQs

What is the Impact Barrier Mat system?

The Impact Barrier Mat system is a slim floor soundproofing build-up that combines Tecsound 100 Non-Adhesive Membrane with Absorbalay 15 barrier mat.

It is designed to help reduce sound transfer through existing floor structures, especially impact noise such as footsteps and movement.

Does it help with footstep noise?

Yes, this system is mainly designed to help reduce impact noise such as footsteps, chair movement and general floor vibration.

Results depend on the existing floor, installation quality and whether sound is also travelling through walls or ceilings.

Does it help with airborne noise?

The Tecsound 100 membrane adds mass, which can help reduce airborne noise transfer through the floor.

For stronger airborne performance, you may need to consider insulation between joists or a ceiling system below.

Is this a low-build floor solution?

Yes, this is one of the slimmer floor soundproofing options because it uses a membrane and mat layer rather than a deeper board-based system.

It is useful where you need to keep the finished floor height as low as possible.

Can it be used under different floor finishes?

It can be used beneath suitable floor finishes, but the final build-up should be checked against the requirements of your chosen flooring.

Some floor finishes may need an additional deck, underlay or preparation layer depending on the product and installation method.

Do I need to lift the existing floor?

In many cases, this system can be installed as an overlay above the existing floor, provided the floor is stable, level and suitable for the chosen finish.

If the floor void needs treatment or the floorboards are loose, damaged or uneven, additional preparation may be required first.
