    Best underlay for impact noise reduction?

    No problem WYL, thanks for all your help. About the Technics then, is there any drawback, other than the price? Remember, I'm like a pioneer here, well in my part of the world anyway! I even had to go to a carpet retailer to get the Technics.

    Best underlay for impact noise reduction?

    Hi again, I just cannot get Timbermate Duratex in Ireland. Every timber supplier will only sell me Excell. I can however get my hands on Technics 5, after much trying. Again, everyone is trying to sell me Boardwalk 2, so I'm ploughing a lonely furrow here trying to resist the foilback solution...

    Internal Oak doors - advice please

    Internal Oak doors - advice please

    Scrit, never heard of this. So you're saying I can actually paint my white deal skirting to match the oak? This is an option then (if I understand correctly). Could you give an example of a graining product (brand-name) for me? Thanks all.

    Internal Oak doors - advice please

    Thanks for the photos. Call me stoopid, but I find it very hard to imagine what things are *going to* look like. Examples are what I need .... Just one thing: Are you saying that those door frames are pine? So what you've done is varnished the visible part of the door frame to match your oak...

    Best underlay for impact noise reduction?

    Thanks WYL, that's great. What would you say about doing something mad like doubling up with another layer of Duratex or some other product for extra effect, or is that just complicating matters by possibly mis-using the product(s) ...? (Of course the extra height adds its own issues re...

    Best underlay for impact noise reduction?

    Hi, I searched through the archives on "underlay", but I didn't really find an answer to this question, so apologies for bringing it up again. Anyway: The upstairs floor in our new two-storey is plywood on joists, and I guess we are resigned to a certain level of impact noise from footfall...

    Hi, The upstairs floor in our new two-storey is plywood on joists, and I guess we are resigned to a certain degree of impact noise from footfall (kids!) transmitting to downstairs. We are going to lay timber floors, and I'm looking for a recommendation for the best underlay for damping the...

    Internal Oak doors - advice please

    Hi, I did a search, but couldn't find this exact subject in the archives ... In our original Building Spec, we had internal solid pine doors with white deal door frames, architraves and skirting. We now want to change the internal doors to solid white oak. At this stage our W.D. door frames...
