Money. That really is the whole reason as much as I don't agree with it. The buildings are old and to do the floor properly would cost a lot. In places with a higher building standard what we would call soundproofing a floor would just be installing a floor in a flat (rock fleece under the floor boards, proper underlay, plank flooring properly spaced and not touching the walls). I have been in many, many, many, tenement flats in Glasgow with laminate flooring and I don't think I have ever seen a floor properly installed here. Literally never. |
