Removing Shoes Is Not The Answer

Many people are told to believe that removing their shoes will improve the lives of the people living under their laminate flooring. This is a fallacy and merely indicates the ineffective policies employed by local councils.

Living underneath laminate flooring is equivalent to having one's home transformed into a drum, albeit a badly played drum.

Removing shoes merely equates to swapping the wooden drumsticks for a pair of woolly timpani mallets.

The thumping and thundering impact noises merely change tone, they do not go away.

People with laminate flooring need to take full responsibility for their noise and install high grade acoustic soundproofing and ensure the flooring is installed properly (without the laminate being in contact with the walls) or not have laminate in flatted properties at all.
