Slimline MuteMat® System

At just 10 mm thick MuteMat® 2 reduces impact nosie.

30dB ΔLw Impact Reduction*

Noises like footsteps on wood flooring and washing machines.

10 mm additional System Height

The height added to your floor after the system is installed.

We stand for quality, and we are proud of it.

Concrete floors that need extra attention for reducing impact noise, this system will reduce even the most stubborn of household or workplace noises. It is also very straight-forward to install.

Our MuteMat® 2 Concrete system is our best performing acoustic solution for soundproofing concrete floors. It provides noise control for both homes and workplaces. This system reduces impact noise levels up to 30dB while offering you something slim with a strong performance against even the most intrusive sources of impact, including heavy foot traffic.

MuteMat® 2 is compressible, while still dense, offering both airborne and impact reduction qualities. MuteMat® 2 is ideal for those looking to free themselves from even the most stubborn impact noises from heavy-footed residents to the dragging of furniture.

How to Soundproof concrete floors

  1. Loose lay your MuteMat® 2 acoustic underlay.
  2. Tape the joints of the MuteMat® 2 with cloth tape.
  3. Install a perimeter flanking band around the perimeter of your floor to reduce flanking sound transmission.
  4. lay your floor finish on top of the MuteMa®t 2

Concrete structures harbour significant mass, and this mass means that there is the close proximity of molecules to where impact noise and structural borne vibration finds their way through – even with a high mass. We often find in flats and apartments that the footsteps or even dragging of furniture is one of the most pressing issues with neighbour complaints. Depending on yours and your neighbours’ agreement – they may be willing to fit MuteMat® 2 to help vastly improve impact noise, even when they are looking to trade off with a hard floor finish from what was once carpet. We would expect a 19dB reduction in concrete structures with any floor finish over the top and you will need to make sure that all floor levels are abutted to a Perimeter Edging Strip around the perimeter of each room to prevent Flanking Transmission. 19dB as a reduction is slightly below a 75% reduction in terms of percentages across an average of frequencies – this will change depending on your structure.

From the high mass, we spoke about above, if there is significant airborne noise coming through then a high performing suspended mass system would need to be in place – MuteMat® 2 may only make in the best scenario – a 2/3dB improvement. Depending on the floor height restrictions MuteCradle™ could be placed to help gain separation to support mass, or out Batten Strips on new flooring. If these are not applicable a Ceiling Soundproofing System like our MuteClip® would need to be put in place to yield greater results for airborne.

In short, yes it is. Noise issues in concrete build for impact noise can be improved vastly with MuteMat® 2 – and improved even further when applied to our MuteCradle™ Systems – which is ideal for creating a void to run services through.

If the structure is existing and is going through a conversion proposal for multiple dwellings, we would recommend carrying out an acoustic test to survey the properties acoustic performance – it would help a great deal to look at what may be required as MuteMat® 2 in most applications would pass Part E Building Regulations, but as we mentioned with airborne noise above – a significant amount of suspended mass is required to yield increased results. For any concrete residences that are being proposed and have not yet been built, we can help create partition designs to estimate acoustic figures with your proposal and with the addition of MuteMat® 2 to see if anything, in addition, is required.

The only improvements yielded from soundproofing a portion of the room is under appliances that create a great deal of structural vibration, for example, washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers – we would suggest creating a small platform out of MuteMat® 2 to reduce vibration created by these. For anything else, impact noise will only be improved once stepping on the mat, even if the concerning room below finishes halfway through a room – this will flank from the untreated part completing negating the soundproofing in place.

For impact noise and light structural vibration such as creating a soundproofing platform for a washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, for example, it can work well to provide separation when the remaining floor cannot be soundproofed – this will help reduce immediate structural vibrations. Airborne noise, on the other hand, will see no improvement with only soundproofing a portion of the flooring.

All rolled carpets can be pulled directly over MuteMat® 2 without any need for an over boarding, Carpet Gripper Strips will need to be fit around the perimeter of each room to raise the gripper rods to a more suited height. Hard floor finishes such as laminate or engineered wood would require a 6mm ply minimum bonded to MuteMat® 2 to act as a stable base, and lightweight and delicate floor finishes: parquet, luxury vinyl tile and ceramic tiling, for example, require a 9mm ply minimum, also bonded to act as a stable base
