Office Remodel - Day 5

With the sub-floor prepped for the new tile, one of our main concerns was sound attenuation between the new flooring and the ceiling below (bedroom closet.) Allow it isn't as big of a deal in the closet, it is a much bigger issue with the rest of the floor in the kitchen, which is directly over the master bedroom. So, SPF nailed down any squeaky portions of the floor and we purchased an Easy Mat sound attenuation material that sits between the tile and the plywood and reduces all the noise inherently created by walking, rolling (new chair), or jumping down off of the counter tops (bad kitties.)

The instructions with the Easy Mat were to lay it out and place several tiles on it to try and get it to relax. (It comes in rolls.) So, here we have laid out two portions of mat and several of the new, large format tiles.


A closer look at the mat and tiles.


An important step in any process for this household is family approval. Osiris was giving the tiles a walking test. He approved.
