Installation on Existing Ceramic Flooring With Requirements for Impact Sound Insulation

Task

In an old building, a new ceramic covering is to be installed on a load-bearing old flooring. Acoustics and impact sound should be improved. The improvement of the acoustics is ensured by the use of an impact sound and decoupling plate. The material thickness and the plate type depend on the desired sound insulation value. When renovating floor surfaces, the decoupling boards enable а a low installation height in combination with new flooring materials – with a significant improvement in living comfort.
