In acoustic systems ensure that gaps where services come through the flooring are sealed to prevent airborne sound leakage. Excessive moisture from cast in-situ slabs and screeds which have not dried out can have adverse effects on flooring materials and timber components. Masonry internal non load bearing Partitions should be erected from the subfloor and not on top of the floating floor. If it is intended that services run under the Support Battens a deeper Resilient Cradle Support should be specified and adequate clearance provided beneath the Support Batten.

The provision of access to services is most successful if the location of services is detailed at an early stage. Ensure that there is an expansion gap of at least 6mm between the edges of the flooring and at the perimeter walls. When laying alternate rows of Support Battens, commence with a half-length so that the joints are staggered.

All joints and air paths between concrete units and at perimeter walls must be carefully and thoroughly grouted for effective performance of acoustic floors. The best way to find a great insulation installer is through recommendations. Make sure you ask friends and family. They will most likely give you their honest opinion and can tell you from first hand experience. The building must be weatherproof and all wet trades completely dried out before commencing installation of the flooring system. Areas of structural floor beneath each intended cradle position should be smooth, flat and level to facilitate ease of the batten installation.It is essential to isolate the skirting from the floor surface to prevent impact sound flanking transmission. Services should be kept at least 150mm away from walls to allow space for perimeter support Battens. To ensure consistent levels throughout the building, commence in corridor areas proceeding to rooms.
