Hush Panel 28 is a sound reducing floor panel that can be used as a structural or an overlay floor board.
The Hush Panel 28 is a premium acoustic flooring solution designed to deliver superior impact sound reduction in both residential and commercial projects. Featuring a 28mm construction, this versatile floor panel can be used as a structural or overlay board, providing unmatched flexibility for various flooring setups. Whether installed over timber joists, existing concrete, or timber floors, the Hush Panel 28 ensures compliance with strict Building Regulation Part E requirements while achieving outstanding noise reduction performance. Ideal for both new builds and refurbishment projects, it’s a robust, adaptable, and efficient solution for creating quieter, more comfortable living and working spaces.
What is the Hush Panel 28?
The Hush Panel 28 is an advanced acoustic flooring system specifically engineered to minimise noise transmission between separating floors. With its 18mm high-density, moisture-resistant P5 chipboard upper layer and a 10mm Hushfelt resilient acoustic underlayer, this panel is a reliable solution for reducing both impact and airborne noise. It is particularly well-suited for applications where floor height must be kept to a minimum without sacrificing acoustic performance. Whether used as a floating floor or directly over joists, the Hush Panel 28 is a versatile choice for enhancing sound insulation.
How Does the Hush Panel 28 Work?
The Hush Panel 28 reduces noise transmission through a combination of its Hushfelt acoustic underlayer and its high-density chipboard top layer. The resilient Hushfelt layer decouples the floor surface from the structural subfloor, absorbing vibrations and impact energy that would otherwise transfer through the building structure. This floating floor design significantly reduces impact noise, such as footsteps or dropped items, while the dense chipboard helps block airborne sound. Additionally, the tongue-and-groove joints ensure a tight, seamless connection, further enhancing the panel's noise-reducing capabilities.
What is the Hush Panel 28 Made of?
The Hush Panel 28 is constructed with two high-quality components:
18mm Moisture-Resistant P5 Chipboard: This durable, tongued-and-grooved layer provides a smooth, stable surface for floor finishes and resists moisture to ensure long-lasting performance.
10mm Hushfelt Acoustic Layer: Factory-bonded to the underside of the chipboard, this resilient layer absorbs impact noise and dampens vibrations, making it a key feature of the panel's soundproofing capabilities.
The combination of these materials creates a highly efficient soundproofing system that is both durable and adaptable.
How Effective is the Hush Panel 28 at Stopping Nuisance Noise?
The Hush Panel 28 is highly effective in reducing both impact noise and airborne sound transmission, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of soundproofing needs. The panel is compliant with Robust Detail FFT5, achieving excellent results in floor structures such as EFC-1, EFC-2, and EFS-1. Whether used over concrete subfloors, existing timber floors, or directly on joists, the Hush Panel 28 meets and exceeds Building Regulation Part E standards, ensuring a quieter environment in residential and commercial settings. Its high-density construction and resilient underlayer work together to reduce noise transfer and create a more peaceful space.
Where Can the Hush Panel 28 Be Used?
The versatility of the Hush Panel 28 makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:
Residential Homes: Perfect for retrofitting soundproofing or enhancing new builds.
Commercial Spaces: Ideal for offices, retail environments, and public buildings.
Concrete and Timber Subfloors: Compatible with various subfloor types, offering flexibility in installation.
Direct Joist Applications: Can be installed directly on joists using Hush 10 Joist Strips for structural support.
How to Install the Hush Panel 28
Prepare the Subfloor: Ensure the surface is clean, level, and free from debris.
Plan the Layout: Arrange the panels in a broken bond pattern, avoiding small cuts (less than 150mm). Leave a 10-15mm gap around walls and fixed objects for perimeter isolation.
Install Perimeter Strips: Use Hush Seal 20 or Hush RD Flanking Strips to create an airtight seal along the room's perimeter.
Position the Panels: Lay the panels with the Hushfelt layer facing down, ensuring a snug fit.
Glue Joints: Apply Hush Bond Panel Adhesive generously to all tongue-and-groove joints for a secure bond.
Skirting Boards: Use spacers to maintain a 2-3mm gap between the skirting board and panels. Seal the gap with Hush Acoustic Sealant for optimal results.
Direct Joist Installation: When laying directly on joists, ensure the centres do not exceed 450mm. Use Hush 10 Joist Strips for additional lateral stiffness.
For specific applications, such as tiling or specialised acoustic systems, consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for detailed instructions.

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
