What are SilentJoist wool felt strips used for?
SilentJoist wool felt strips are designed to reduce structure-borne sound transmission between timber joists and floors or subfloors.
They are installed directly on top of joists before flooring is laid, helping to absorb impact noise such as footsteps and vibrations.
How do joist insulation strips reduce noise?
SilentJoist works by acoustic decoupling. The 3mm thick wool layer sits between the joist and floor, reducing direct contact and limiting vibration transfer.
This helps to:
– Reduce impact noise from footsteps
– Improve acoustic comfort in rooms below
– Minimise sound travelling through the structure
Where should I install SilentJoist strips?
SilentJoist strips are used in floor constructions and should be installed:
– On top of timber joists
– Beneath floorboards or subfloors
– In new build, retrofit, and timber frame projects
What are the dimensions of SilentJoist rolls?
Each SilentJoist roll is supplied in:
– Length: 10 metres
– Width: 100mm (4 inches)
– Thickness: 3mm
How many rolls come in a pack?
SilentJoist felt strips are sold individually as single rolls.
How do you install wool joist strips?
1.Roll out SilentJoist onto the joists
2.Ensure full coverage
3.Lay flooring directly on top
Do wool felt strips improve acoustic performance?
Yes. SilentJoist reduces structure-borne sound and improves acoustic comfort.
Are SilentJoist strips a natural alternative to acoustic foams?
Yes. Benefits include:
