Cork Flooring?

M-technik-3 · 03-21-2025, 04:47 PM

My second floor was an attic and now it's conditioned space. I have put down tongue and groove advantage flooring but it's still a bit loud with carpeting. Thinking of just adding a cork membrane floor to absorb the noise.

Any do this before.

I used SONOpanX for the floor of my music room and SonoX for ceiling and walls.

I've done cork floors before. I'm a big fan, soft under foot and tend to mute the sound a bit.

I'm getting a pretty good idea from this thread about who among us walks like a Clydesdale.

That said, I looked at a house that just had cork flooring in the basement, I found the look to not be to my taste personally, but it was soft and quiet.
