Higher performance than the Essential system for louder noise — two layers of 10kg MLV combined with Silent Floor Ultra Underlay deliver significantly more mass and impact isolation than single-mat systems
Dual 10kg MLV layers for dense mass — two rolls of 10kg mass loaded vinyl with staggered joints add substantial mass to help reduce louder airborne noise, including voices, TV at higher volume, and general household noise
Silent Floor Ultra Acoustic Underlay for impact isolation — installed above the MLV layers to reduce footfall and impact noise, and to provide a high-performance acoustic substrate directly under the carpet
Suitable for carpet finishes — Silent Floor Ultra provides a compatible acoustic base for carpet installations without requiring adhesive bonding to the floor finish
DIY-friendly installation — no structural work required; the system is laid over the existing floorboards and finished with carpet as normal
Practical build-up depth — approximately 21mm overall, making it suitable for most rooms; check door and threshold clearances before ordering
Built-in 5% waste allowance — calculator quantities include a 5% overage to reduce the risk of under-ordering on site
Important Notes
This system is designed for timber floors intended to be finished with carpet
It is intended to improve both airborne noise and impact noise, but results will vary depending on the existing floor construction
