Floor-to-floor soundproofing in Kuwait - Salmi

Floor-to-floor soundproofing in Salmi

Impact soundproofing between floors in Salmi cuts transmission of footstep and movement noise from upper units through the concrete slab. We map sound paths, then install decoupling layers and new finishes for complete separation.

What sets this area apart

Salmi is a border residential area with gradual growth in small to medium-sized buildings on relatively large plots. Buildings here mix old villas and newly built one or two-storey houses with some small apartment blocks. Concrete slabs vary by building age, and floor-to-floor noise is common in both old and new houses alike. We install foam or flexible fibre decoupling boards under new flooring for complete separation between the structure and the finished surface.

Salmi sits in Jahra governorate, a border area near Salmi crossing between Kuwait and Iraq.

Salmi slabs range from 15 to 25 centimetres thick depending on construction year, with wide variation in sound absorption capacity.

What the work covers - Floor-to-floor soundproofing

What the work covers

Survey impact paths through the slab, then install decoupling layers and finished surfaces

  • Impact path survey

    Locate where impact noise travels through the slab and columns

  • Resilient underlay layer

    Dense resilient mat installed between the slab and the floating screed

  • Floating floor build-up

    Compression screed poured over the mat without rigid contact with walls

  • Perimeter isolation strip

    Resilient strip around the room perimeter blocks vibration transfer through the wall base

  • Decoupled ceiling below

    Suspended ceiling hung on resilient channels breaks the downward vibration path

  • Post-installation check

    Impact tap test confirms direct sound paths are sealed before handover

Questions about Floor-to-floor soundproofing in Salmi

Call now
Is soundproofing necessary in a two-storey house?

Yes, especially if the lower floor is a bedroom or office. Noise from movement and footsteps travels easily through old slabs. Soundproofing clearly improves comfort and privacy.

Do we need to remove the entire old floor?

Full removal is preferred to ensure complete separation between the old slab and the new decoupling layer. Sometimes a strong existing floor can be kept with insulation added over it, but this reduces soundproofing effectiveness.
