Why it matters
HDB and condo buyers often worry about footfall sound. A clear answer needs product and site facts, not a vague promise.
Underlay changes feel, not every rule
Underlay can make a floor feel different underfoot and may reduce some sound transfer, but broad sound claims need product-specific documents.
Backing and underlay are not the same for every product.
Subfloor flatness still affects sound and movement.
Do not accept a sound claim without matching documents.
Condo and HDB checks
Where building requirements apply, the buyer should check the latest rules before work starts. Enoch can help align the product discussion with available documents and site details.
Share management requirements if you have them.
Include floor height and door photos.
Keep selected product records after handover.
