This 3mm recycled rubber acoustic underlay achieves 54dB of impact noise reduction and is suitable for use in Part E compliant flooring assemblies for flat conversions, new-build properties, and HMOs. For full building control sign-off, we recommend confirming the complete system specification with your acoustic consultant or building control officer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is recycled rubber underlay made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis acoustic underlay is manufactured from recycled rubber granules, primarily derived from end-of-life vehicle tyres. The granules are processed, cleaned, and bonded together under heat and pressure to create a dense, uniform acoustic underlay product. Using recycled rubber diverts waste material from landfill and reduces the carbon footprint of the product compared to virgin rubber or foam alternatives — making it an environmentally responsible choice for flooring projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs recycled rubber underlay better than foam underlay?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor acoustic performance and longevity, yes — recycled rubber significantly outperforms foam underlay. Foam underlays tend to compress over time, losing their acoustic properties and allowing the floor to develop a soft, uneven feel underfoot. Recycled rubber maintains its density and performance for the life of the floor. It also provides better impact noise reduction per millimetre of thickness, meaning you get more acoustic performance from a thinner product compared to foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much acoustic underlay do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your room length × width in metres to get the floor area in square metres. Add 10% for cuts and wastage around door frames, fitted furniture, and alcoves. Select the roll size that covers your required area. For example, a 4m × 5m room = 20m² plus 10% wastage = 22m² needed. Choose a roll that covers at least this area, or combine smaller rolls for irregular-shaped spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this underlay be used with underfloor heating?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this 3mm recycled rubber acoustic underlay is compatible with both electric and water-fed underfloor heating (UFH) systems. Its relatively low thermal resistance allows efficient heat transfer from the UFH system through to the floor surface. This makes it an excellent choice for open-plan living spaces and ground-floor rooms where both underfloor heating and acoustic comfort are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silentcloud","offers":[{"title":"1m (Width) × 10m (Length) – Covers 10m²","offer_id":56131207561602,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/6176\/6061\/files\/2D995E45-08D7-426C-8B29-29D03BED1DC7_72d7b49c-5f93-4d52-8953-e136b86aab29.png?v=1766839150","url":"https:\/\/www.sounddeadeninguk.co.uk\/products\/acoustic-rubber-underlay-3mm-54db-recycled-part-e","provider":"Sound Deadening UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
