What is the Hush Panel 33?
The Hush Panel 33 is a high-performance acoustic flooring panel that combines multiple layers of advanced materials to deliver superior sound insulation. Designed specifically for timber structures, it provides an effective solution for reducing both impact and airborne noise in a variety of construction projects. Its 18mm High-Density Moisture-Resistant Chipboard, 10mm Hushfelt Resilient Layer, and 5mm Hush Barrier Mat work together to provide excellent soundproofing without compromising on durability or ease of installation. Whether used as an overlay floor or installed directly over joists, the Hush Panel 33 is an economical and reliable option for noise reduction.
How Does the Hush Panel 33 Work?
The Hush Panel 33 employs a multi-layer system to tackle noise effectively:
Impact Noise Reduction: The Hushfelt Resilient Layer absorbs vibrations and impact sounds, such as footsteps or furniture movement, reducing their transmission through the floor structure.
Airborne Noise Blocking: Thehigh-density chipboard and Hush Barrier Mat create a solid mass that blocks airborne sounds, such as conversations, music, and TV noise.
Decoupling Effect: By isolating the flooring from the underlying structure, the panel prevents direct pathways for sound transmission, enhancing its acoustic performance.
This combination makes the Hush Panel 33 an effective solution for reducing noise in both residential and commercial environments.
What is the Hush Panel 33 Made Of?
The Hush Panel 33 is constructed from three layers of specialised materials:
18mm High-Density P5 Moisture-Resistant Chipboard: Provides a robust and durable base for various flooring finishes.
5mm Hush Barrier Mat: Adds mass to block airborne noise effectively.
These materials ensure the panel is lightweight yet dense, with a board density of 26kg per board, making it both durable and easy to handle during installation.
How Effective is the Hush Panel 33 at Stopping Nuisance Noise?
The Hush Panel 33 delivers exceptional noise reduction performance by targeting both impact and airborne sounds:
Impact Noise: The resilient Hushfelt layer significantly reduces noise caused by footfalls, dropped objects, and furniture movement, creating a quieter environment for those below.
Airborne Noise: The dense chipboard and barrier mat layers block sound waves, preventing noise transmission between floors.
Regulatory Compliance: Fully compliant with UK Building Regulations and Robust Details standards, ensuring its suitability for a variety of building types.
With its innovative design, the Hush Panel 33 can significantly improve the acoustic comfort of any space.
Where Can the Hush Panel 33 Be Used?
The Hush Panel 33 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
Residential Buildings: Ideal for flats, houses, and multi-occupancy dwellings where noise control is essential.
Commercial Properties: Provides effective soundproofing in offices, retail spaces, and other commercial environments.
Educational and Healthcare Facilities: Ensures a quieter, more comfortable environment for learning and healing.
Timber Frame Developments: Specially designed for timber structures, meeting Robust Details standards for acoustic performance.
Overlay and Direct-to-Joist Applications: Can be installed as a floating floor over concrete or timber or directly over joists without the need for additional joist strips.
How to Install the Hush Panel 33
Prepare the Surface:
Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and free from debris.
Plan the Layout:
Lay the panels in a broken bond pattern, avoiding small cuts (less than 150mm).
Use Hush RD Flanking Strips along the perimeters to create an airtight seal.
Install the Panels:
Place the panels with the Hushfelt layer facing down for optimal performance.
Glue the Joints:
Apply Hush Bond Panel Adhesive to all tongue-and-groove joints, ensuring a secure and airtight fit.
Seal Perimeters:
Use Hush Seal 20 Perimeter Seal to fill gaps between the panels and walls.
Direct-to-Joist Installation:
Ensure joists are adequately spaced and stiffened. No additional joist strips are required for Hush Panel 33.

Looking for a complete soundproofing solution?
If your looking for soundproofing for a particular situation or application, then the best place to start is with our soundproofing solutions that cover walls, floors, ceilings and reducing echo. Select the relevant application below to find out more.
At door thresholds, access hatches or in the absence of a teegee joint Hush-Grommet Fixing Isolators can be used sparingly to eliminate ‘lipping’. No other fixings should be used when fitting the floating floor as any restrictions can adversely affect performance. Skirting should be fitted two or three millimeters clear of the floor surface. (PCT only).

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
