    Used some sound proofing underlayment today, good stuff.
    Called regupol multi
    You glue it down and can lay carpets, vinyls and LVT's on it.
    It stops impact sound from going to room below.
    Karndean recommend it.
    Good for flats in old houses.

    The link is

    http://www.inspirednoise.com/installati ... er/regupol®-4515-multi-acoustic-underlayment/

    That takes you through to the repupol multi which is what I have been using but there is lots of different products which you can use.

    But any questions about it best email Gary from his website.

    How do you fit it for lvt, Daz? Ply then bond the underlayment to the ply and then the lvt?

    That's it sandy. The job I am working on, the builders had put 6mm ply down all over as old floorboards.
    I they put the regupol Eco in the kitchen with sheet vinyl on top

    And bathrooms regupol multi then Karndean Spanish people

    Glued the regupol down with 44 and then f46 the bathroom, let it go off and banged the Karndean down.

    Will take some pictures of it next time I'm on site in may

    QA underlays do a decent range of soundproofing options and full ranges of underlays for laminates carpets and one specifically made for vinyls.
