Understanding Decibel (dB) Reduction
What does 80dB reduction mean? A reduction of 80dB represents exceptional soundproofing performance achieved with our 25mm thickness. For context:
- 10 dB reduction: Perceived as approximately 50% quieter
- 20 dB reduction: Perceived as approximately 75% quieter
- 30+ dB reduction: Dramatic noise suppression – transforms loud industrial environments into comfortable workspaces
- 80 dB reduction: Maximum-grade acoustic isolation – reduces deafening machinery noise (110dB) to conversational levels (30dB)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What thickness do I need for my application?
The thickness you need depends on your noise reduction requirements. For light noise control (HVAC, office partitions), 2-4mm is sufficient. For moderate noise (workshop tools, home gyms), choose 5-8mm. For heavy industrial machinery and maximum soundproofing, select 10-25mm. Our 25mm thickness achieves up to 80dB reduction for the most demanding applications.
What does 80dB noise reduction actually mean?
An 80dB reduction (achieved with our 25mm thickness) means this acoustic rubber sheet can reduce extremely loud industrial noise (110dB from heavy machinery) down to comfortable conversational levels (30dB). This represents one of the highest levels of soundproofing available, making it ideal for the most demanding noise control applications in factories, workshops, and industrial environments.
Can I use this for soundproofing walls and ceilings?
Yes, absolutely. This acoustic rubber matting is versatile and can be installed on walls, ceilings, floors, and even around machinery enclosures. It's flexible enough to conform to irregular surfaces and can be cut to size for any application. For walls and ceilings, we recommend using acoustic adhesive or mechanical fixings for secure installation.
Is this suitable for outdoor use or wet environments?
Yes, our acoustic rubber sheet is moisture-resistant and can withstand exposure to oils, chemicals, and environmental conditions. It's suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, with a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, making it ideal for UK weather conditions and industrial environments.
How do I install acoustic rubber sheet matting?
Installation is straightforward: (1) Measure and cut the rubber sheet to your required size using a sharp utility knife, (2) Clean and dry the surface thoroughly, (3) Apply using acoustic adhesive, double-sided tape, or mechanical fixings depending on your application. For heavy-duty installations or vertical surfaces, we recommend using both adhesive and mechanical fixings for maximum security.
Will this help with vibration as well as noise?
Yes, this acoustic rubber sheet provides excellent vibration dampening in addition to sound reduction. The high-density rubber compound absorbs both airborne noise and structure-borne vibrations, making it ideal for machinery isolation, equipment mounting, and reducing transmission of impact noise through floors and walls. Thicker options (10mm+) provide superior vibration control.
Does it meet UK building regulations and fire safety standards?
Yes, our acoustic soundproofing rubber sheet meets UK building regulations for commercial use and is suitable for applications requiring noise control in accordance with UK workplace noise regulations (Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005). It has appropriate fire rating certifications for safe use in commercial and industrial buildings.
Can I layer multiple sheets for better soundproofing?
Yes, layering multiple acoustic rubber sheets can enhance soundproofing performance. For extreme noise environments, using multiple layers with air gaps or alternating with other acoustic materials can provide even greater noise reduction. For example, two 12mm sheets can approach the performance of a single 25mm sheet while offering installation flexibility.
What's the difference between this and standard rubber matting?
Standard rubber matting is designed primarily for floor protection and anti-slip purposes. Our acoustic soundproofing rubber sheet is specifically engineered with a high-density compound optimized for sound absorption and vibration dampening, achieving 25-80dB noise reduction depending on thickness. It's significantly more effective for noise control applications than general-purpose rubber matting.
Do you offer bulk discounts for large projects?
Yes, we offer competitive trade pricing and bulk discounts for large-scale industrial, commercial, and construction projects.
