.
Maxiboard can be installed onto a wall in order to meet Approved Document E of the Building Regulations (2003). Firstly, 100mm Maxislab is friction-fitted between the timber battens or metal frame. Maxi resilient bars should then be placed at the top and bottom of the wall and then at 600mm centres from the bottom upwards.
.
The maxiboards are fixed to the maxi resilient bars using 3.9 x 30mm maxi screws. maxiboard must be installed in a brick pattern, with staggered joints, and the utmost care should be taken to ensure there are no gaps. a bead of srs gripfix should be applied to the shiplap edge of the maxiboards as they are placed together.
.
Where maxiboard abuts a wall, floor or ceiling, the shiplap edge should be removed so the board sits flush to the adjunct. the edge should then be treated with a bead of srs acoustic sealant to reduce sound transmission into the existing structure. any further inconsistencies or gaps should be treated with a general purpose filler to ensure acoustic integrity.
.
If the plasterboard on the other side of the studwork is in good condition it can remain, with an extra layer of 12.5mm fire rated plasterboard fixed directly through the existing plasterboard, into the studwork. if the existing boards are damaged, they should be replaced by two layers of 12.5mm fire rated plasterboard, with offset joints for best results.
.
For the optimum acoustic performance any sockets or switches that need to be installed on the maxiboard wall should be surface mounted, or flush fitted using srs acoustic socket boxes.
(Please refer to separate acoustic socket box datasheet for further details).
.
HANDLING: Maxiboard is a very heavy product (17.28kg per sheet). Please exercise caution when lifting and installing. The HSE can provide information and guidance on the lifting and handling of heavy goods www.hse.gov.uk

Important Information
Sound Insulation Store are specialists in acoustics and sound insulation. All guidance, system information and predicted performance figures are provided for general assistance only.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the existing structure is suitable and compatible with any proposed sound insulation system. Where required, customers must seek advice from a structural engineer, building control, or another appropriately qualified professional.
Customers must also confirm whether their project requires specific fire resistance, structural, or regulatory compliance measures. Any fire, structural, or regulatory approval must be obtained independently from a competent specialist.
Sound Insulation Store has worked with NCPL to produce Insul prediction graphs and holds site test data on our Part E systems. These figures are intended as guidance only.
Actual on-site performance will vary depending on the condition and construction of the existing building, flanking transmission routes,installation quality, and any unforeseen site variables.
No performance level can be guaranteed unless independently tested on site after installation.
