Suitable for all final floor finishes

For carpet as a final finish: Reverso SoundMat will act as a luxury carpet underlay when used mat side up. You will also need to use our 9mm gripper rod risers underneath the carpet gripper rods to soundproof the perimeter of the room and raise the gripper rods to the correct height for the carpet. You should nail through the carpet gripper rods and through the gripper strips (risers) to secure them in place with a 30mm flat head tack nail.

For Engineered floor, LVT or laminate finishes:
Use the Reverso Soundmat Hard side up and apply your floor finish directly over the mat.

For Tiles
For tiles the hard layer should be primed first before fitting. An additional stabilizing boards may be needed for some types of thicker, heavier tiles.

The Reverso SoundMat is simply applied directly any level/flat floor surface.

• Simple direct to floor installation (no adhesive needed)
• Simply flip the Reverso SoundMat depending on the final floor finish. Mat side up for soft finishes, hard side up for all hard final floor finishes
• Joined with a high tack tape to prevent movement
• Sealed around the perimeter to seal any small gaps where sound may escape
• Suitable for all floor finishes and can be used under underfloor heating
• Can be installed by one person (a two man team can fit up to 30m2 per day)
• Easy to cut with a fine tooth saw
• Can be fitted by a good DIY’er or any tradesman

To prevent any possible flanking noise, we would recommend installing a Deck perimeter strip between the wall and all layers.
