Hush Isolation Tape Self-Adhesive 10m x 50mm x 8mm

Stop rigid connections giving noise an easy route through your building. Hush Isolation Tape separates adjoining building elements to help reduce flanking and direct sound transmission through walls and floors.

This foam/rubber isolation tape has adhesive on one side for quick, clean fitting. Each roll supplies 10m of 50mm-wide, 8mm-thick tape for acoustic isolation at stud walls, joists and floor perimeters.

10m x 50mm x 8mm, self-adhesive.

Protect the acoustic detail

Rigid contact can carry impact vibration and provide a route for airborne sound to travel around an acoustic treatment. Hush Isolation Tape breaks that contact, helping protect the impact and airborne performance of your walls and floors.

Used as part of a correctly specified system, it supports Building Regulations Part E sound compliance.

Where to use Hush Isolation Tape

• Under sole plates and above header plates of timber or metal stud walls.
• At perimeter junctions of the Hush Wall System and wall linings.
• On joist tops to isolate them from adjoining construction.
• Between structural timber joists and chipboard, plywood or original floorboards.
• Around floating floor perimeters to separate the floor edge from the walls.

Suitable projects include domestic, residential, education, healthcare and industrial buildings.

Fitting Hush Isolation Tape

Position the tape at the junction to be isolated and use its self-adhesive side to hold it in place before fitting the adjoining element. On stud walls, isolate both the sole and header plates; on timber floors, place the tape between the joist tops and the floor deck.

For floating floor perimeters:

1. Use the tape to isolate the floor edge from the surrounding walls.
2. Turn the strip over the floor surface.
3. Fit the skirting neatly on top of the strip.
4. Trim away the excess with a sharp blade.

How much do I need?

Measure the total length of sole plates, head plates and perimeter junctions to be isolated. Include any joist-top runs where the tape will be used. Divide the total in metres by 10 and round up to the next whole roll.

For example, 24m of junctions needs 24 ÷ 10 = 2.4, rounded up to 3 rolls.

Choosing your isolation detail

This product is the 50mm-wide tape. Hush also makes a 100mm width for details requiring a wider strip.
