1. Removing Existing Floorboards: Carefully take up the current floorboards to reveal the space (cavity) between the wooden beams (joists).
2. Fitting Insulation Between Joists: Place the 100mm RWA45 insulation snugly between the joists, pressing it down to the bottom of each cavity.
3. Installing New Structural Floor: Either put back the original floorboards or lay down a new structural floor over the joists.
4. Setting Up Acoustilay Perimeter Strips: Around the edges of the room, install Acoustilay 15 perimeter strips. Press the foam side of the strips firmly against the walls or skirting boards and secure them by screwing through the strips into the subfloor.
5. Laying Acoustilay 15: Over the subfloor, roll out Acoustilay 15. If necessary, bond it to the subfloor using F45 Acoustilay adhesive. Arrange the Acoustilay in a staggered, brickbond pattern, ensuring it butts up tightly against the perimeter strips.
6. Installing Gripper Rods: Place carpet gripper rods over the Acoustilay perimeter strips. This setup will make the level of the rod with the surface of the Acoustilay, preparing it to receive the carpet.
