Covering a wide area in 3mm? The 2.0m width means fewer joins to seal, and joins are where noise most often gets through.
How Rubber Sheet Reduces Noise: The Three Jobs It Does
Noise problems are rarely just one thing, so it helps to know which job you need the sheet to do.
Blocking airborne noise. Sound passing through a wall, guard or panel has to move it. A dense, flexible layer makes that harder, which is why thicker sheet is the route for louder, lower-pitched sources such as compressors and generators.
Stopping vibration travelling. A machine fixed directly to a slab or steel frame makes that structure part of the noise source, and you hear it in rooms well away from the machine. A resilient layer between machine and structure reduces how much vibration gets through.
Damping panel ring. Thin sheet metal rings like a drum. Bonding rubber flat to the panel deadens it, which is why 2–4mm is the usual choice for machine guards, cabinets and thin steel enclosure panels: it does the job without adding much bulk or weight.

Installation Guide
Simple 3-Step Process:
- Measure & Cut: Measure your space and cut the acoustic rubber sheet to size using a sharp utility knife
- Prepare Surface: Clean and dry the installation surface thoroughly for optimal adhesion
- Install: Apply using acoustic adhesive, mechanical fixings, or double-sided tape depending on application
Getting the Result You Paid For
How the sheet is fitted matters as much as which thickness you buy. These are the checks worth making on any noise job:
- Seal the gaps. Sound takes the easiest route, so an open joint or cable hole can undo much of the gain. Butt joints tightly and seal them with acoustic sealant.
- Cover the whole face. Treating part of a wall or guard leaves a path around the sheet. Noise also travels through adjoining walls, floors and ducts, so look at those too.
- Do not bridge an isolating layer. A bolt running straight through the sheet gives vibration a direct path into the floor. If a machine must be bolted down, ask the machine maker about isolated fixings.
- Keep cooling clear. Never line over vents, louvres or motor cooling routes on an enclosure, and check the machine maker's guidance on airflow.
- Tell us the load. Compressive load figures are not published for this line. For heavy plant, give us the machine weight and foot size before you order.
- Measure before and after. Use a sound level meter at the same point with the machine at the same load, and keep the sheet as one part of your wider noise risk assessment.
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, compressors, pumps), choose 5-8mm. For heavy industrial machinery and maximum soundproofing, select 10-25mm. Our 25mm thickness achieves up to 110dB reduction for the most demanding applications when installed as part of a complete floor system.
What does 110dB noise reduction actually mean?
A reduction of up to 110dB (achieved with our 25mm thickness as part of an installed floor system) means this acoustic rubber sheet can reduce extremely loud industrial noise (110dB from heavy machinery) down to near-imperceptible levels in the space below, depending on installation method. 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.
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 optimised for sound absorption and vibration dampening, achieving 40-110dB noise reduction depending on thickness, based on in-house testing as part of an installed floor system. 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. Contact our team with your project requirements for a tailored quote and technical support to ensure you get the right acoustic solution and thickness for your specific noise reduction needs.
How many metres should I order?
Divide your total area in m² by 1.25, or by 2.0 for the 3mm x 2.0m option, then round up to the next whole metre. A 10m² area at 1.25m wide needs 8 metres. Allow a little extra if you are cutting around machine feet or fixings.
Will this stop echo inside a room?
Rubber sheet works as a barrier and damping layer, so it is strongest at reducing noise passing through surfaces and vibration passing through a structure. If your main complaint is echo or reverberation within the room, add soft absorbent panels alongside it.
Can I use this in my home?
This sheet is intended for industrial applications and is not suitable for residential use. If you are planning a home project, call us on 01744 520110 before you order so we can talk through what you are trying to quieten.
