Airborne and impact noise treated separately
Voices through a wall and footsteps from the flat above need different build-ups; we specify each one for what it has to stop.
Noise source identified first
Airborne & impact sound
Acoustic Insulation Imported & distributed
Mineral wool, resilient layers, acoustic panels and floating floor systems for apartments, offices and hospitality.
We supply acoustic materials as a system rather than as separate products: mineral and glass wool for partitions and ceilings, resilient underlays and floating floor components for impact noise, mass layers, acoustic seals and finished absorbing panels for rooms that echo. The specification starts by separating airborne noise from impact noise, because the two problems need different construction, and the wrong layer solves neither.

00 / The brief
Two different problems get confused as one: noise coming through, and noise bouncing around.
Voices and traffic pass through construction as airborne sound. Footsteps and dragged chairs travel through the structure as impact sound. A room that echoes has a third problem entirely — reverberation inside its own walls.
1–4 wks
Noise is a construction problem, not a product problem — one gap undoes every layer you paid for.
We identify which one you have, then specify the build-up that treats it: partition layers and seals, resilient floor layers, or absorbing panels — with quantities and perimeter details, because the perimeter is where most acoustic work fails.

02 / The range
What we carry in acoustic insulation
The four ranges answer four different questions. Wool fills cavities so walls and ceilings stop voices; impact layers separate a floor from the slab so footsteps stay upstairs; mass and sealing products close the weak points that let sound bypass a good build-up; panels calm the echo inside a room. Most projects need two of them, rarely all four, and the noise you describe decides which.
04 rangesLead time 1–4 wks
01
Mineral & glass wool
Quieter partitions and ceilings without thickening the wall much: wool in the cavity turns a hollow stud wall into one that stops normal speech. It works by damping the air between two board skins, so the figure that matters is how hard the wool resists airflow, not only how heavy it is. Stone wool and glass wool both do the job; stone wool adds density and a non-combustible core, glass wool is lighter to handle and cut. We match the product to the stud depth and board layers shown on your drawing.
- Cuts speech transmission through stud partitions and ceiling voids
- Non-combustible core for fire-rated walls and shafts
- Cut to stud depth so the cavity is filled edge to edge
Terms you will meet
- Rw (weighted sound reduction index)
- The single dB figure, rated to EN ISO 717-1, for how much airborne sound a tested wall stops; each extra few dB is clearly audible.
- Airflow resistivity (AFr)
- How strongly the wool resists air moving through it, declared under EN 13162; higher values damp the cavity more effectively.
- Euroclass A1
- The top reaction-to-fire class under EN 13501-1, meaning the product does not contribute to a fire; most stone wool carries it.
- Indicative supply range
- €8–€60 /m²
- Best for
- Plasterboard party walls, office partitions, ceiling voids and service shafts.
- Formats
- Slabs around 600 × 1200 mm and rolls, 40–100 mm thick, in several densities (kg/m³).
When it fits
Choose wool when the complaint is voices, television or office chatter through a lightweight wall or ceiling.
When it does not
If the problem is footsteps from above, wool in the wall will not help; you need an impact layer under the floor.
02
Impact-noise layers
Footsteps, dropped toys and dragged chairs stop reaching the flat below once the floor finish no longer touches the structure. Resilient mats, impact boards and perimeter strips create that break, under tiles, under wood or under a full floating screed. The proof is the tested improvement figure, which varies with the layer's stiffness and the floor laid over it, so we select the layer against your finish and the height you have left before the door thresholds are set.
- Breaks the contact that carries footsteps into the slab
- Chosen to suit tile, timber or a floating screed above it
- Perimeter strips stop the floor short-circuiting at the walls
Terms you will meet
- ∆Lw (impact sound improvement)
- The dB reduction in impact noise a layer achieves on a reference floor, rated to EN ISO 717-2; quote it with the finish it was tested under.
- Dynamic stiffness (s')
- How springy the layer is, in MN/m³; a lower figure isolates better, as long as the layer can still carry the load above it.
- L'nT,w
- The impact sound level actually measured in the room below on site; lower is quieter, and building rules set limits on it.
- Indicative supply range
- €8–€60 /m²
- Best for
- Apartment floors, upper hotel rooms, renovations over existing slabs and new screeds.
- Formats
- Thin mats from about 3 mm under finishes; impact boards around 20–30 mm under screeds; perimeter strips in rolls.
When it fits
Choose an impact layer when the complaint comes from above: footsteps, heels, furniture moved across the floor.
When it does not
If voices pass through the floor rather than footsteps, the slab needs mass or a ceiling build-up below, not only a mat.
03
Mass & sealing products
A wall that tests well on paper only performs on site if nothing lets sound slip round it, and this range closes those routes. Mass-loaded layers add weight to thin linings without much depth; acoustic sealants keep perimeter joints airtight as the building moves; putty pads and collars treat sockets, pipes and ducts that pierce the wall. Each small leak can cost several decibels, which is why these items belong in the same order as the boards.
- Adds weight to thin linings without losing much room
- Keeps perimeter joints sealed as the structure moves
- Treats sockets, pipes and ducts that pierce a wall
Terms you will meet
- Surface mass
- Weight per square metre of a layer, in kg/m²; heavier layers resist airborne sound better, especially at low frequencies.
- Flanking transmission
- Sound that travels round a partition through floors, ceilings, ducts or joints instead of through it; often the reason a good wall disappoints.
- Putty pad
- A mouldable acoustic and fire pad wrapped round the back of a socket box so the hole in the board stops leaking sound.
- Indicative supply range
- €8–€60 /m²
- Best for
- Upgrading existing walls, back-to-back sockets, pipe boxing, door frames and service risers.
- Formats
- Mass layers in rolls rated in kg/m²; sealant in cartridges; putty pads per socket box; collars by pipe diameter.
When it fits
Choose these when a wall is already built and still leaks, or when services and sockets cross a separating wall.
When it does not
If the room itself sounds loud and echoey, sealing the walls will not change it; absorbing panels will.
04
Acoustic panels
Conversation becomes easy again in restaurants, meeting rooms and open-plan homes once enough hard surface is turned into absorbing surface. Fabric-wrapped, slatted timber and perforated panels soak up reflected sound and cut the time a room keeps ringing. Each product carries a tested absorption figure, so the quantity is calculated from the room's volume and use rather than guessed. Fixings come with the panels, and finishes are chosen with the interior designer, because these surfaces are seen every day.
- Shortens the echo that makes busy rooms tiring
- Doubles as a finished wall or ceiling surface
- Quantity worked out from room size and use
Terms you will meet
- aw (weighted absorption coefficient)
- A value from 0 to 1, rated to EN ISO 11654, for the share of sound a panel absorbs; 0,9 means almost none is reflected.
- NRC
- Noise reduction coefficient, an average absorption figure used on many datasheets; useful for comparison, but check it against aw.
- Reverberation time
- How long sound takes to fade by 60 dB in a room, in seconds; meeting rooms and restaurants each have a comfortable target range.
- Indicative supply range
- €8–€60 /m²
- Best for
- Restaurants, cafés, meeting rooms, studios, classrooms and double-height living spaces.
- Formats
- Fabric panels around 600 × 600 and 1200 × 600 mm; slat panels about 600 mm wide in floor-to-ceiling lengths.
When it fits
Choose panels when the room itself sounds loud, harsh or echoey, whatever the neighbours hear.
When it does not
If the aim is to stop sound reaching another room, panels alone will not do it; that needs wall or floor build-ups.
03 / Where it goes

04 / How to specify it
The decisions that decide the result.
01 / 06
Name the noise first
Voices, footsteps or echo — each needs a different build-up, and treating the wrong one wastes the budget.
02 / 06
Use the wool density the build-up requires
Acoustic performance depends on density and cavity fill, not on thickness alone.
03 / 06
Seal every edge and penetration
Small gaps at perimeters, sockets and ducts undo a well-built partition.
04 / 06
Check available floor thickness early
Resilient layers and floating screeds need height; decide before the levels are fixed.
05 / 06
Take partitions to the slab
A wall that stops at the ceiling grid lets sound cross the void above it.
06 / 06
Treat doors as part of the wall
Seals, thresholds and door mass often give the biggest single improvement.
Common mistakes
Expecting absorbing panels to soundproof a room
They reduce echo inside the space; they do not stop transmission to the neighbour.
Filling a cavity with the wrong density
Thermal-grade wool in an acoustic build-up underperforms against the calculated figure.
Stopping the partition at the suspended ceiling
The void becomes a direct path between rooms.

What an acoustic order is written against
Acoustic products are ordered by tested figures, not by thickness or feel. These cards list the values a supplier's datasheet should state for each range, the variants you choose between and the site habit that keeps the tested performance once the layer is built in.
01
Mineral & glass wool
What an order specifies
- Product standard

Finishes & variants
- Stone wool slab
- Glass wool roll
- Foil-faced slab
- Fleece-faced ceiling slab
Fitting & care
Fit it friction-tight with no gaps at studs and tracks, and keep it dry on site; wet wool loses both its acoustic and thermal value.

06 / The long read
Buying acoustic insulation in Greece
without the usual surprises.
Wool, resilient layers, mass, seals and panels arrive as one build-up, coordinated with the drywall and flooring trades. This is the part most suppliers leave out: what we import, how acoustic insulation should be specified before anyone prices it, where projects lose money, and what our 1–4 wks lead time actually covers.
01
What we import, and what lands on site
We supply acoustic materials as a system rather than as separate products: mineral and glass wool for partitions and ceilings, resilient underlays and floating floor components for impact noise, mass layers, acoustic seals and finished absorbing panels for rooms that echo. The specification starts by separating airborne noise from impact noise, because the two problems need different construction, and the wrong layer solves neither.
Because we buy acoustic insulation directly from the factories, the range you see is the range we can programme — not a catalogue we hope to source later. In practice that means mineral & glass wool, impact-noise layers and mass & sealing products, each with its own price band and availability, so a specification can be tuned to a budget instead of abandoned.
Airborne and impact noise treated separately: voices through a wall and footsteps from the flat above need different build-ups; we specify each one for what it has to stop.
Noise is a construction problem, not a product problem — one gap undoes every layer you paid for.

02
How acoustic insulation should be specified before it is priced
Specifying acoustic insulation well comes down to a short list of decisions taken in the right order — name the noise first, use the wool density the build-up requires, seal every edge and penetration, check available floor thickness early. Taken on paper, these cost nothing. Taken on site, each one is a change order.
We write the specification with you before anything is quoted, so the number you get is for the material that will actually be installed. That means confirmed dimensions and finishes, the right performance class for the space, and quantities that include the waste factor rather than discovering it mid-installation.
The same reference behaves differently depending on where it goes — apartments and party walls, offices and meeting rooms, hotels and short-term rentals, restaurants and bars each carry their own requirements, and we specify against the space rather than against a mood image.
Airborne sound
Noise travelling through air — voices, music, traffic — reduced by mass, cavities and sealing.
Impact sound
Noise generated by contact with the structure, such as footsteps, reduced by resilient separation.
Resilient layer
Elastic layer that decouples the floor finish or screed from the structural slab.
Absorption class
Rating describing how much sound a surface absorbs rather than reflects.
03
Where acoustic insulation projects lose time and money
Almost every delay we are called in to rescue traces back to the same handful of causes: expecting absorbing panels to soundproof a room, filling a cavity with the wrong density, stopping the partition at the suspended ceiling and leaving sockets back to back. None of them are exotic, and all of them are avoidable at specification stage.
Expecting absorbing panels to soundproof a room is the most expensive one, because they reduce echo inside the space; they do not stop transmission to the neighbour.
We have supplied acoustic insulation into apartments, offices and hotels, and the pattern is consistent: the projects that run smoothly are the ones where the material was locked before the trades were booked.
Filling a cavity with the wrong density — checked once on paper, never again on site.
Expecting absorbing panels to soundproof a room

Filling a cavity with the wrong density

Stopping the partition at the suspended ceiling
The void becomes a direct path between rooms.
Leaving sockets back to back
Two boxes in the same cavity position create an obvious acoustic hole.
04
Lead times, pricing and what we handle
Standard lead time on acoustic insulation is 1–4 wks from confirmed specification, and that window covers the whole chain — factory programming, consolidation, transport, customs where applicable and delivery to site or to your warehouse. We quote the landed number, not an ex-works price that grows later.
Pricing is per project rather than per line. Because we import directly and consolidate acoustic insulation with the rest of the materials for the same room, you get one quote, one delivery window and one point of contact — and the savings show up on the total, not just on a headline reference.
If you already have drawings, send them and we will come back with a specification and a landed price. If you do not, we will build the specification with you first. Either way, nothing is ordered until the quantities, finishes and dates are agreed in writing.
07 / Questions
Frequently asked
Why doesn't insulation alone stop noise from the flat above?+
Footsteps are impact noise transmitted through the structure. It needs a resilient layer or floating floor that separates the finish from the slab; adding wool below the ceiling helps only partly.
How thick does an acoustic partition need to be?+
It depends on the target. A single stud line with wool and a double board layer already improves speech privacy noticeably; higher performance needs separated frames or added mass.
Do acoustic panels soundproof a room?+
No. Panels absorb reflections inside a room and reduce echo and noise level; they do not stop sound passing to the neighbour. Those are two different jobs.
Can acoustic insulation be added without stripping the room?+
Sometimes. An independent lining on the noisy wall or an acoustic ceiling can be added, at the cost of some floor area or height. We check what the room can give up first.
What about noise through doors and sockets?+
They are usually the weak point. Seals, thresholds and correctly treated service penetrations often deliver more improvement than extra layers of board.
Do you supply hotels and offices?+
Yes. Room-to-room and corridor build-ups are specified together with the drywall, flooring and door details so the whole path is treated.
Materials from this category are usually specified for office fit-out and interior design projects. We specify and supply every material the project needs; if you need installers, we can suggest partners you contract directly.
