Soundproof Flooring

Introduction & Why Soundproof Flooring Matters

With the rise of high-density living in Sydney, noise control has become more important than ever. From footsteps echoing through an apartment to airborne sound travelling between levels, soundproof flooring creates a quieter, more comfortable environment. It also helps you comply with body corporate or strata regulations, reduces neighbour complaints, and can increase the value of your property. At Thrust Floors, we specialise in proven acoustic flooring systems designed for apartments, high-rise buildings, and multi-storey homes.

What Types of Soundproof Flooring Systems We Offer

What Types of Soundproof Flooring Systems We Offer

Soundproof flooring isn’t just about comfort—it’s also about compliance. Many Sydney strata and body corporates require soundproofing to meet specific ratings. Our team provides the necessary documentation, technical specifications, and sound test data to ensure approvals are smooth. We address subfloor preparation, moisture levels, and site flatness before installation to guarantee long-term performance. By combining engineered timbers, durable acoustic blankets, and advanced adhesives, we deliver systems that stand up to both regulation and daily use.

Installation Options & Process

Our process makes achieving quiet flooring simple: Consultation and assessment of your property and strata requirements. Selection of the right acoustic system—floating, glue-down, or hybrid. Subfloor preparation to ensure flatness and moisture protection. Installation of acoustic layers and chosen timber or hybrid surface. Final finishing, clean-up, and handover with documentation. Most projects are completed efficiently with minimal disruption to residents.

Cost & Value Considerations

While soundproof flooring involves more investment than standard timber or laminate, the value it provides in comfort, compliance, and peace of mind far outweighs the cost. Floating systems with acoustic blankets offer affordability, while glue-down systems deliver maximum durability and performance. Choosing a quality system also helps protect your property value and prevents costly disputes with body corporate or neighbours.

Care, Maintenance & Compliance

Maintaining your acoustic flooring is straightforward. Regular sweeping and gentle cleaning keep surfaces fresh, while avoiding harsh chemicals preserves the underlays. Unlike temporary fixes such as carpets, proper soundproof flooring maintains compliance for years. We recommend keeping your installation records and approvals handy for resale or strata inspections.
