      I would like to install porcelain tiles in the kitchen only, the property is in NSW in a small apartment building that is about 20 years old.

      I need guidance if I need to install acoustic underlay underneath the tile?

      My lawyer says the by-laws exempts the kitchen for floor covering, but the strata manager says it is required and needs to match the renovation form guidelines:  IIC > 57, or Ln, w < 53 The by-law: Floor Coverings

      a) An owner of a lot must ensure that all floor space within the lot is covered or otherwise treated to an extent sufficient to prevent the transmission from the floor space of noise likely to disturb the peaceful enjoyment of the owner or occupier of another lot.

      b) This by-law does not apply to floor space comprising a kitchen, laundry, lavatory or bathroom

       

      There’s a big delay in getting a GM because of this. It’s an investment property so I’m losing money every day its empty.

       

      Thoughts? Help?

    PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
