impactalay + super,, size/600mm/1200mm /15mm

description.The Gold Carpet System is designed to absorb and reduce the amount of footfall / impact sound which penetrates poorly insulated floors. The 3 layers of rubber provide very effective noise reduction for talking and airborne sound whilst the chipfoam decouples the floor and the carpet. Perhaps one of the quickest and most effective acoustic solutions on the market, the Gold Carpet system combining Quietfloor PLUS is remarkably cost-effective. Quietfloor Plus Using this product increases airborne sound insulation and reduces impact noise transmission so much that there is no need for the installation of false floors; this not only increases minimum ceiling height but it also reduces labour and materials costs considerably. The laminated composition of the Quietfloor Plus provides maximum performance for minimum thickness and combines excellent sound insulation with all the qualities of a good carpet underlay. It is quick and easy to install and is easily cut and shaped. Due to the recycled nature of the sound absorbing foam, the colour, when delivered, is unlikely to be the same as that shown in our photographs. This product comprises a recycled layer of sound absorbing chip foam bonded to a top and bottom layer of mineral loaded soundproofing mat. The base layer of barrier mat seals and damps the sound coming through the floor, the isolated top layer of barrier mat reduces the sound penetration both ways and the sound absorbing chip foam core dramatically absorbs and reduces impact noise transfer. In addition, Quietfloor PLUS includes an acoustic foam, which does not harden or crumble over time, unlike some other foams that are normally used in these applications. Due to the flexibility of the product, sheet sizes may vary by up to 5mm. We have created this easy to order system for you but all the products can be purchased individually from other web pages on our site. FITTING INSTRUCTIONS. Step 1. Remove all existing floor coverings Step 2. If a timber suspended floor, check to see if the floorboards are tongued and grooved by inserting a thin bladed knife between the joints. If the knife goes all the way through, the floorboard joints will be square edged and should be sealed with our Acoustic Sealant (optional extra) before commencing with the rest of these instructions. If the floor to be insulated is concrete then ignore the instruction above. Step 3. Using our supplied special aerosol contact adhesive, bond the 2mm SBM5 soundproofing mat to the floor(Timber suspended floors only). The adhesive has an adjustable nozzle so it is usually better to select the widest spray pattern by turning the nozzle so it aligns with the symbol and usually marked H at one o’clock to the nozzle. The other settings are M and L for medium and low spray pattern. (See application instructions on side of can). Spray the soundproofing mat and then spray an appropriate area on the floor and immediately fix it down taking care to position it correctly. Continue to install the soundproofing mats across the entire floor surface wall to wall ensuring the edges are tightly butted together. If gaps occur they can be filled with our Acoustic Sealant but should they should be kept as small as possible. If a permanent fixing of this layer of soundproofing mat is not desired onto a timber suspended floor, then it can be nailed down with felt nails. Step 4. Nail the QuietFloor Plus edging strips (Supplied) around the perimeter of the room. These are packing pieces for the carpet grippers to ensure they will be at the correct height after the QuietFloor Plus has been installed. If it is a concrete floor masonry nails will be required. Step 5. Now install the QuietFloor PLUS acoustic underlay and it is best to install these in a brick pattern across the floor wall to wall and can be glued down if preferred using the adhesive already described. Although these panels are die-cut, due to the flexibility and thickness of the acoustic foam, slight variations in the dimensions of this product can occur. If this is evident it may be better to not install in the more normal brick pattern, but install in rows with straight joints instead. Step 6. Ensure the joints of the QuietFloor PLUS are tightly butted to one another then secure the joints using our Jointing Tape before the carpet is installed. It is important to use the Jointing Tape because joints that are not tightly butted will allow noise leakage and reduce the effectiveness of the product. No additional underlay is required, the carpet can be installed directly onto the newly laid acoustic underlay. NOTES It may be preferred to use a carpet fitter to install this insulation although it can be undertaken by any DIY orientated person.
