Bicton Timber Flooring

Reducing upstairs noise with timber in Bicton

Many new homes in Bicton’s riverside streets are two-storey, with bedrooms or a retreat above the main living area. Timber upstairs looks great, but footsteps can carry down into the rooms below. Timber flooring in Bicton two-storey homes can be planned to keep that noise down.

A quality acoustic underlay under engineered timber reduces impact noise from footsteps. Rugs in bedrooms and hallways help further, and felt pads under furniture stop scraping sounds. In new builds, the floor structure itself matters too – talk to your builder early about insulation between levels.

We’ll recommend an underlay and floor combination that suits your home and how the upstairs rooms are used.
