Tips

As we outline in our Academy, noise travels structurally as well as by airborne paths.   The structure supporting your floor is more than likely connected to the structure supporting the ceiling down below.   To properly combat the bleed of foot noise and other sound sources upstairs from penetrating down through the floor, your goal would be to either raise your floor or lower the ceiling down below to create a structural break that will force the wave to collapse.    FloorFighter is designed to elevate your floor and insulate with density to decouple foot noise and combat both airborne and structureborne sound.    Alternative Ceiling treatments are popular for flooring surfaces that are already finished and unavailable for underlay treatments.
