I am putting in a second-floor exercise room in our office. We have some commercial carpet that I would like to leave in. Are your 3/4 inch shock tiles my best option? I am worried about sound-carry down to the 1st floor. What can I do to minimize that? I thought that leaving in the carpet would help?

Our 3/4" Shock Tiles were designed for use in areas where sound transfer needs to be kept at a minimum. These tiles feature a channeled bottom that helps to dissipate sound transfer from floor to floor. The existing carpet will also help mitigate this sound transfer as well. You may still get some noise from above, but it will be greatly reduced compared to just having the carpet in the room.
