Fitting Acoustilay 15 sound insulation and Balta carpet in Edgeware London NW7
We had a really nice time fitting Acoustilay 15 sound insulation into a lovely loft in Edgeware NW7, London for a lovely guy. He was having a bit of time getting someone reliable and competent to fit this for him so we were happy to step in. And we never even went to measure to begin with made the quote remotely via Whatsapp using FloQuote software. What’s more is the quote was bang on for measurements!
As an flooring installer, we’ve worked with many soundproofing products over the years, but we have to say, Acoustilay by Sound Reduction Systems really stood out here. We’vefitted it before for various projects, from residential homes to flat conversions, and it’s quickly become a go-to choice for us. Here’s why we think it’s such a great product, both from a fitting perspective and for its long-term benefits.
First off, the installation process is incredibly straightforward. Acoustilay is well-designed for ease of use. It’s flexible yet sturdy, making it easy to handle and cut to the exact specifications needed for each job. Unlike some other materials that can be tricky or time-consuming to install, Acoustilay allows us to work efficiently, which saves time and reduces labor costs for the client. The green color also makes it easy to identify on-site, so we know for sure we’re using the latest, eco-friendly version of the product.
Another huge advantage of Acoustilay is its high performance in sound insulation. It’s often used to meet the requirements of Building Regulations Part E, particularly in flat conversions. We’ve found it to be a reliable solution for projects where soundproofing is a priority. Whether it’s for reducing airborne noise or minimizing impact noise between floors, Acoustilay consistently delivers. It’s not just something we recommend to meet regulations – it genuinely improves the living or working experience for the end-user.
From an environmental standpoint, it’s great to work with a product that’s manufactured entirely in the UK, which helps cut down on the carbon footprint associated with transportation. The fact that it’s made from 100% recyclable materials, including pre, mixed, and post-industrial waste, is a big plus for us and for clients who are environmentally conscious. It’s nice to be able to offer a product that aligns with the growing demand for sustainability in construction.
Its also made of non-toxic materials, it’s PVC-free and doesn’t emit harmful compounds when burned, which gives us peace of mind during installation, knowing we’re not exposing ourselves or the clients to any potential hazards.
In short, we highly recommend it. Combine that with a very nice Balta carpet that looked great once fitted and both we and the client were delighted with the final finish. Finally hats of to our fitter Hamid who did a sterling job here, worked really hard and he was a great find for us using Profinda candidate search technology to discover he was a soundproofing expert fitter.
See for yourself if you agree with our assessment. We think it makes a wonderful set of before and after images highlighting the transformation a well installed carpet can make to any room. And if you are anywhere in London and need something similar you know where to come!
