Two layers working together
- 18mm tongue-and-groove gypsum fibre board adds mass for airborne sound insulation.
- 10mm Hush Felt resilient backing cushions impacts such as footsteps.
Acoustic performance
Hush publishes typical floor assembly results of 56 dB L’nT,w impact, 61 dB DnT,w airborne and 57 dB DnT,w + Ctr. Lower impact levels and higher airborne figures indicate better insulation when comparing equivalent tests.
Installation essentials
- Lay the panels felt side down over a supporting deck. Above joists or battens, provide a chipboard or plywood deck first.
- Stagger the joints in a broken bond pattern and glue the tongue-and-groove edges with cement panel adhesive.
- Isolate the perimeter with Hush Seal 20 or Hush RD Flanking Strip. Use RD Flanking Strip where specified for Robust Details.
How many do I need?
Divide your floor area in m² by 0.72, include a cutting allowance if needed, then round up to whole panels.
For example, a 20m² room with an optional 10% allowance needs 20 × 1.10 ÷ 0.72 = 30.56, rounded up to 31 panels.
You’ll also need
Plan adhesive from the floor area and perimeter isolation from the room edge measurements. Choose the specified perimeter detail: Hush Seal 20 and Hush RD Flanking Strip are alternatives.
For example, a 5m × 4m room is 20m² with an 18m perimeter: allow 1 adhesive bottle and 2 lengths of Hush Seal 20, or 1 roll of Hush RD Flanking Strip where specified. Allow extra for cuts, joints and awkward edges.
