RENOVATE OLD SUBSTRATES AND IMPROVE ACOUSTIC INSULATION

With UZIN MULTIMOLL SOFTSONIC

For many renovations the end customer would like to see a improvement in acoustic insulation. Often, only very low build-up heights are possible, which means that special attention must be paid to the layer thickness when selecting suitable materials. Thanks to the range of UZIN Multimoll Softsonic this requirement is met. Wood flooring can be adhered directly to the underlay panels. Whilst a levelling compound must be applied over the underlay when installing textile and resilient floorcoverings.
