The Hush RD Flanking Strip is an essential component for maintaining acoustic isolation in soundproofing systems. Designed specifically for sealing the perimeters between Hush-Panel products and adjoining walls, this strip ensures the integrity of acoustic barriers by preventing noise leakage. Ideal for Robust Details projects, the Hush RD Flanking Strip is a reliable and cost-effective solution for achieving superior sound insulation in both residential and commercial settings.
What is an Acoustic Flanking Strip?
An acoustic flanking strip is a flexible isolation material used to seal gaps and perimeters in soundproofing systems. Its primary purpose is to prevent sound from traveling through unintended paths, known as flanking transmission, which can significantly compromise the effectiveness of soundproofing installations.
Key Features of Acoustic Flanking Strips:
Isolation: Creates a buffer between structural elements to prevent vibration and sound transfer.
Sealing: Fills gaps and joints to maintain the continuity of the acoustic barrier.
Flexibility: Adapts to various applications and system requirements.
How Do the Hush RD Flanking Strips Work?
The Hush RD Flanking Strip works by creating an effective seal around the perimeters of Hush-Panel installations. Its foam isolation material absorbs sound vibrations and prevents noise from traveling through wall junctions or floor edges.
Acoustic Isolation:
The strip decouples the Hush-Panel from walls and adjoining structures, breaking the sound transmission path.
Perimeter Sealing:
Ensures a tight and secure fit around edges, eliminating gaps that could allow noise to escape.
Enhanced System Performance:
Works in conjunction with other Hush acoustic products to maximise the overall soundproofing capabilities of the system.
How Effective Are the Hush RD Flanking Strips at Stopping Nuisance Noise?
The Hush RD Flanking Strip is highly effective in addressing nuisance noise by:
Preventing Flanking Transmission: Eliminates noise leakage through structural gaps, a common issue in soundproofing systems.
Improving Acoustic Integrity: Enhances the performance of soundproofing installations, contributing to significant noise reduction.
Meeting Robust Details Standards: Designed to comply with Robust Details criteria, ensuring optimal acoustic performance for modern building standards.
When used as part of a comprehensive soundproofing system, the Hush RD Flanking Strip helps achieve noticeable reductions in airborne and impact noise, creating quieter and more comfortable environments.
Where Can the Hush RD Flanking Strip Be Used?
The Hush RD Flanking Strip is versatile and suitable for a variety of applications, including:
Residential Properties: To improve noise control in multi-dwelling units, detached homes, or apartments.
Commercial Spaces: Ideal for offices, meeting rooms, and other shared work environments.
Educational Institutions: Reduces noise in classrooms, libraries, and lecture halls.
Healthcare Facilities: Ensures quieter spaces in hospitals and clinics.
Industrial Settings: Provides effective noise control in manufacturing or warehouse environments.
How to Install the Hush RD Flanking Strips
Installing the Hush RD Flanking Strip is straightforward and does not require specialised tools:
Prepare the Surface:
Ensure that all surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation.
Measure and Cut the Strip:
Cut the flanking strip to the required lengths using a utility knife or scissors.
Position the Strip:
Place the strip along the perimeter of the Hush-Panel system, ensuring it fits tightly between the panel and the adjoining wall or floor.
Fix in Place:
Use adhesive or fasteners (if required) to secure the strip in position.
Install Acoustic Panels:
Proceed with the installation of Hush-Panel or other soundproofing components, ensuring that the strip remains intact throughout the process.

Extremely helpful
I called Soundstop with lots of questions and the person I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I ended up purchasing soundproofed plasterboards and genie clip system from them
Two alcoves with independent stud walls built and insulation/clips installed.
The result? It works, was sceptical it would,so it was a gamble, sound reduced from neighbours is 70% less and now feel like our semi detached house is more like a fully detached! I’m glad I did it, took me 2 days in total.
All products for a LB2 soundproof ceiling are as expected and delivered on time. The advice given before ordering and before installation was second to none. The guys at soundstop really care that your project goes well. Can't recommend them enough!
From query to delivery always a pleasure to do business with. Can recommend enough. We have used both the standard and advanced (sbx) sm20 systems and they have both made a huge difference in a mid terraced house.
Soundstop are truly amazing at what they do. As a DIYer I need help and advice lots and the team are always there to help out.
The products themselves are top quality and worth of any recording studio never mind my party wall!
Keep up the good work!
The service from the team at Soundstop has been amazing. Jim advised me in the early stages and took my thinking to an end design which is now installed and working beyond my expectations Thankyou
Soundproofing a wall in a factory by a sandblasting booth
The items I have purchased from soundstop have been very useful in the application used to carry out the job requirements on the job that had to be done, the service from Lucy and Jim have been outstanding would use soundstop and would certainly recommend there services to another company or individual
All-round excellent service. Had a phonecall to confirm order minutes after making it online & had further calls keeping me updated on delivery. Very friendly & were more than happy to give some advice when needed.
Genie clips & bars were simple to install & there's good articles on the website for reference. Haven't heard anything from my neighbours yet!
I'd like to thank the team at Soundstop, they completely exceeded my expectations. The customer service is second to none and the delivery was on time as agreed. Very highly recommended.
I don’t think in nearly 23 years I’ve ever dealt with a company so efficient, knowledgeable and helpful! Delivery was very quick. When I needed some technical assistance, Jim was more than helpful. So much so that I felt I should’ve paid him a consultancy fee! Such a pleasure to do business with Soundshield. Amazing!
Very helpful, in helping us to what we needed to order, to soundproof our wall, it all arrived on time, first class service, will be using them again, Thankyou soundproof, for all your help.
My experience of phoning Soundstop for general help with soundproofing and specific help with their products has been a unique experience. A genuine desire to help backed up with the actual knowledge to be so.
I just wish all support calls could be so fruitful.
We had great telephone support whilst choosing the product. We bought Tecsound 70 which was easy to fit ( following the good instructions ) It is a great product and seems to work well. The carpet fitter was amazed by it and the shop are now interested in knowing more! Would recommend both Stopsound and the product
