HD1037 Hush Batten 55 System MF: Sound insulation system for concrete separating floors

The HD1037 Hush Batten 55 System MF from Hush Acoustics provides a highly effective acoustic solution for concrete separating floors by utilising the Hush Acoustic Batten Systems range. The system combines these resilient floor battens with a number of other sound insulating materials to create a floating floor that is designed to reduce impact and airborne sound transmission.

In addition, HD1037 creates a service void above and below the structure - this is achieved by the acoustic battens above the concrete slab and through the installation of Hush MF ceiling system below. It is suitable for new build, conversion and refurbishment projects.

HD1037 complies with all the UK Building Regulations relating to acoustics - Approved Document E (England & Wales), Section 5 (Scotland) and Part G (Northern Ireland). 

The system is created as follows:

• The Hush Batten system is installed over concrete structure.
• A Hush Felt 10 resilient layer is installed to cover the entire floor area.
• Hush Batten 55 Acoustic Battens are installed felt face down over the Hush Felt layer at required centres.
• 18mm/22mm T&G chipboard is screwed and glued fixed to the top of the Hush Batten 55 with the perimeters of the chipboard isolated using the Hush range of flanking strips to suit.
• The Hush MF system is fitted to the underside of the concrete structure. It is important to ensure that a minimum 150mm void is created from the back of the concrete structure to the back of the plasterboard lining.
• Hush Slab 100 Sound Absorber is fitted tightly together within the ceiling void.
• A double plasterboard layer is installed to the underside of the Hush MF system. The plasterboard lining should consist of 19mm Plasterboard Plank and 12.5mm Soundbloc.
• All perimeters are sealed with the Hush Acoustic Sealant prior to skimming.
