This soundproofing kit provides a rigid and stable base for both laminate and wood flooring finishes while isolating both airborne and impact sound. The insulated chipboard provides a resilient sound insulation layer, making it easier to lay the wood floor finish.

• Easy to install to a timber frame
• Removes the need for an underlay because the insulated chipboard has a resilient layer
• Complies with Part E building regulations when installed correctly and with a suitable acoustic ceiling.
• Suitable for wood and laminate*.

For a carpet finish, you will require a kit that provides more comfort to the foot and is available here.

1. Removing Existing Floorboards: Begin by carefully taking off the existing floorboards to reveal the cavity between the wooden beams (joists).
2. Adding Insulation: Fit the Hush Slab 100mm insulation snugly between the joists, pushing it down to the bottom of the cavity.
3. Installing the Subfloor: You can either put back the original floorboards or install a new structural subfloor made of chipboard on top of the joists. Before installing, make sure the joists are level. Use adhesive on the tongue and groove joints of the joists and secure the subfloor with wood screws. If there are any gaps around the edges, fill them with acoustic sealant.
4. Laying Hush Panel 28: Place the Hush Panel 28 over the subfloor, ensuring it runs perpendicular to the direction of the subfloor panels or floorboards. Lay the panels in a staggered, brickbond pattern. Apply DB Bond adhesive to the tongue and groove joints of the Hush Panel. Leave a 5mm gap around the room’s perimeter and fit the DB RD Flanking Band along these edges. Remember, the Hush Panel is a floating floor, so do not fix it to the subfloor with mechanical fasteners.
5. Finishing with Timber or Laminate Flooring: The Hush Panel is now ready for your chosen wood or laminate flooring finish. Refer to the flooring supplier’s installation instructions for specific details. The finish flooring can either be bonded directly to the Hush Panel or laid as a floating floor with bonded joints.
