BSW ‘Regupol’
Rubber impact sound insulation matting
Regupol is a sound insulation material used for underfloor impact sound reduction. It is made from recycled rubber and cork with a polyurethane binder, and is suitable for use under most floor finishes, as well as between structural floor elements.
Regupol is an excellent use of recycled rubber. It is supplied in rolls of 3mm and 5mm thicknesses and is easy to install. It is temperature resistant from - 40 °C up to +110°C.
Regupol can be used to reduce noise on stairs (5mm recommended) and impact sound from hard floor finishes. It can be installed in strips on top of joists, or in rolls between floor elements to minimise the transmission of impact noise from above to below. It can also be used as a carpet underlay.'
