Home System Installation

Floors:

For Direct to Concrete:

•Apply the under screed directly to the concrete with an appropriate adhesive.
•Before a further Concrete application ensure a perimeter strip is encased around the perimeter overlapping the top. This way any Skirting board or Plasterboard from the adjoining wall has a flanking barrier from vibration / impact noise.

For a Carpet Installation:

•Apply a Perimeter strip surrounding all applicable areas.
•Then apply a Mass loaded vinyl up to the perimeter ensuring all panels / tiles / rolls are laid at staggered joints. Cover all joints with a high tack tape.
•Then apply the carpet grips over the perimeter strips.
•Finish with a carpet of your choosing.

For a Laminate or Vinyl Finish:

•Apply a Mass loaded vinyl leaving a gap around the perimeter of 2 to 5 mm.
•Fill the perimeter with an air-tight bond or sealant.
•Then apply a minimum of 6mm Ply / OSB or MDF board over the mass loaded vinyl, using an appropriate bond / adhesive and matching the perimeter of the mass loaded vinyl. (Ensure the boards are applied at staggered joints, cover all joints with a high tack tape.
•Then apply the laminate or vinyl chosen in the appropriate method suggested by the manufacturer.

Walls:

For Timber walls:

•A framing network has to be lined with Isolation strips facing all adjacent walls, floor and ceiling. Leaving a minimum 10mm gap from the wall chosen for treatment.
•The insulation will consist of an Acoustic Mineral Wool between the joist of the frame.
•Then a Clip and channel system will be applied between 600mm and horizontally 1200mm.
•An Acoustic Plasterboard is then applied to the clip and channel system ensuring a gap of 2 to 5 mm around the perimeter. Ensure the panels are applied in staggered joints. Seal joints with a high Tack Tape.
•Seal the perimeter with an Acoustic Sealant appropriate to the project.
•Apply a self-adhesive acoustic membrane to the plasterboard ensuring the joints are staggered between the layers.
•A second layer of Acoustic Plasterboard is then applied ensuring the screws are imbedded into the channel systems, again, leaving a 2 to 5 mm gap around the perimeter. Ensure the panels are applied in staggered joints. Seal joints with a high Tack Tape.
•Seal the perimeter with an Acoustic Sealant appropriate to the project.
•Finish with a plaster skim or paint.

**All clip and channel system applications depend on project measurements and weights.*

Ceilings:

• Ensure the joists are strengthened to the capability needed for the structure

• Insert Acoustic Mineral wool between joists and add thin wiring to ensure the product stays in place.

• Fill the cavity between 75 and 80 percent ensuring a gap between wool and ceiling.

• Then a Clip and channel system that will then be applied must have a minimum gap of 100mm from the adjacent wall.

• The clip system should then create a gridded framework at 400cm width ways and 800mm length ways.

• The channels should then run perpendicular to the clips overlapping by 200mm.

• Ensure all clips and channels are attached into the shoulder channels, securing the joint.

• Then attach your first layer of Acoustic Plasterboard to the clip and channels.

• Remember this layer mustn’t be in direct contact with adjacent surfaces.

• Ensure the panels are applied in staggered joints. Seal joints with a High Tack Tape.

• Seal the perimeter with an Acoustic Sealant appropriate to the project.

• Apply a self-adhesive acoustic membrane to the plasterboard ensuring the joints are staggered between the layers.

• A second layer of Acoustic Plasterboard is then applied ensuring the screws are imbedded into the channel systems, again, leaving a 2 to 5 mm gap around the perimeter. Ensure the panels are applied in staggered joints. Seal joints with a high Tack Tape.

• Seal the perimeter with an Acoustic Sealant appropriate to the project.

• Finish with a plaster skim
