- Delivered on a pallet Flooring is heavy, so it comes palletised to the kerbside. You’ll need to move it from the roadside into the property.
- We confirm the day Choose a delivery date at checkout, or we’ll give you the earliest. It’s an estimate until we confirm it once your order is processed, and we can’t guarantee it even then: deliveries are made by third-party couriers.
- Check before you sign Someone needs to be in to sign for it. Look over the packs first and tell us within 24 hours if anything is damaged.
- Book your fitter afterwards Wait until your flooring has arrived before booking a fitter. We can’t cover fitter costs if a delivery is held up.

Frequently asked questions
How do I work out how many Soundlay mats I need?
Divide the floor area by the area one mat covers (1.2m²) and round up. We suggest adding about 10% for cuts and waste.
Can I lay carpet directly over Karma Soundlay?
Yes, you can lay carpet straight over Karma Soundlay, with or without carpet underlay.
What airborne and impact noise ratings does Karma Soundlay 9mm have?
It is rated up to 47dB airborne and 53dB impact. These ratings come from tested floor build-ups, so our team can confirm how they apply to your floor.
Can I lay a floating herringbone floor over Karma Soundlay?
Yes, but it needs a stiffening layer in between. A floating floor thinner than 15mm can't sit straight on the soft foam, so lay 9mm or 12mm tongue and groove plywood over the Soundlay. Our product page recommends 12mm for laminate and vinyl. Don't use nail-bound systems with Soundlay, as they compromise its acoustic performance.
Can Karma Soundlay be used on timber floors between flats?
Yes, Soundlay 9mm can go on timber floors, but on its own it is only a surface treatment. How much it improves things depends on what is already in the floor, such as the ceiling below and any insulation in the joist void. If it needs to meet Part E building regulations, please confirm the build-up with our team before buying.
What do I need to put on top of Karma Soundlay under laminate or vinyl?
Under laminate or vinyl it needs a 12mm tongue and groove plywood or MDF layer on top. Carpet can go straight over it.
Is Karma Soundlay 9mm suitable for home yes?

Can you install carpet on top of Karma SoundLay 9mm?

What is Karma SoundLay 9mm used for?

Can you use Karma SoundLay 9mm as a final surface?
