A SOUND CHOICE IN UNDERLAY WITH FLOORWISE
Using a dense rubber construction, Acoustica not only helps to combat the sound of footfall (impact noise) but also airborne sound, helping to make homes and commercial spaces quieter and more comfortable. Available in Silver (2mm) and Gold (3mm) and new Acoustica Gold Supreme (3.5mm) specifications, the underlays are available from floorwise distributors throughout the UK and Ireland.
Used under wood and laminate flooring, the Acoustica underlay collection from floorwise helps to combat noise, one of the biggest flooring-related concerns facing specifiers and homeowners today.
Richard Bailey, Managing Director, floorwise, said: “The introduction of Acoustica Gold Supreme demonstrates the growing interest in making homes and commercial spaces quieter when using wood and laminate flooring.

BEAT THE BRITISH WEATHER WITH BAL Gutjahr System Technology from BAL offers designers and contractors innovative drainage, ventilating and uncoupling solutions to protect outdoor coverings against the unpredictable British weather and extremes, such as rain, frost and heat.
Alex Underwood, Head of Marketing at BAL, said: “External tiling is a fast-growth segment in the UK as the trend for inside/outside living thrives. BAL is excited to confirm our new range of products, for a proven system-solution in this sector, are now available to the market.
“The new products represent a complete new range of solutions for the BAL portfolio and work as a system with current BAL preparation, adhesive, grout and sealant products. This means, for the first time, architects, designers and contractors are provided with a true ‘one-stop-shop’ for balconies, terraces and external ground floors.
“Beyond 'blue-sky' thinking, the new solution provides a proven and trusted system to avoid frost damage, staining and water damage when using tiles externally. The system can also reduce the weight loading on a balcony by utilising thinner assemblies, lighter materials and limiting water absorption and retention, which in turn reduces water loading.”
Gutjahr are a sister company of BAL, with a proven track- record of delivering trouble-free coverings across Europe from large prestigious commercial projects, including Amsterdam Library, The Palace of Hambach, and the Weimar National Theatre, to smaller domestic projects over the last 25 years. Gutjahr are also the inventors of the passive capillary AquaDrain surface drainage system. Complete with ProFin

edge profiles, AquaDrain drain grates and ProRin guttering, the patented systems are simple to install and provide rapid, immediate and high-volume drainage of water.
Among the systems on offer from BAL are the Thin Drainage Assembly for direct point adhesion for break-proof coverings, Standard Drainage Screed Assembly for the solid bed fixing of ceramic, porcelain and natural stone and concrete paving, and a Thin, Lighter Weight Drainage Screed Assembly with an epoxy screed for a strong but comparatively lightweight build- up compared to conventional systems.
Both the Standard Drainage and Thin assemblies include the AquaDrain passive capillary drainage mat which has a unique permeable mesh, raising the complete surface and offering a higher drainage volume compared to other drainage mortar and mat systems.
BAL is introducing a number of Gutjahr products to its portfolio which, combined with its full range of tiles adhesives, grouts and sealants, makes BAL the only full system provider in the UK.

in moisture barrier, Gold Supreme delivers exceptional sound-insulating performance, creating a noticeable difference in real-world scenarios. With increasing focus and tightening regulations on sound in buildings, the Acoustica underlay series can make a huge difference without having to resort to special acoustic flooring systems.”
While initially developed for wood and laminate flooring, the dense rubber sponge Acoustica Silver and Acoustica Gold underlays are ideal for use with click-system LVTs, combatting sound and helping to smooth out subfloor irregularities, relieving stress on locking profiles. All underlays are suitable for use with underfloor heating systems.
