The Hush-Ply 28 Acoustic Plywood Panels are advanced acoustic flooring solutions designed to significantly reduce impact noise transmission while providing a durable, moisture-resistant surface. These versatile panels are ideal for both structural and overlay applications, offering excellent soundproofing performance. They are particularly well-suited for areas that require extra moisture protection, such as kitchens and bathrooms, and provide a stable base for various flooring finishes, including ceramic tiles and engineered wood.
What Are the Hush-Ply 28 Acoustic Plywood Panels?
The Hush-Ply 28 panels are engineered acoustic floorboards that combine the strength of waterproof plywood with a high-performance acoustic layer. Each panel consists of:
- 18mm WBP Tongue-and-Groove Plywood: Ensures durability and stability.
- 10mm Hushfelt Resilient Layer: Reduces impact noise transmission and provides sound insulation.
These panels are a reliable alternative to traditional chipboard finishes, offering enhanced moisture resistance and compatibility with a range of flooring finishes.
How Do the Hush-Ply 28 Acoustic Plywood Panels Work?
The Hush-Ply 28 panels are designed to isolate and reduce sound transmission through floors by:
- Absorbing Vibrations: The 10mm Hushfelt layer dampens vibrations caused by footsteps, furniture movement, and other impact sources, reducing noise transfer to the space below.
- Creating a Floating Floor: When installed, the panels form a floating floor system, decoupling the floor surface from the subfloor or joists to minimise sound bridging.
- Moisture Resistance: The 18mm WBP plywood provides a robust and water-resistant base, ideal for areas prone to humidity or spills.
How Effective Are the Hush-Ply 28 Acoustic Plywood Panels at Stopping Nuisance Noise?
The Hush-Ply 28 panels deliver exceptional noise reduction performance:
- Impact Noise Reduction: The resilient Hushfelt layer absorbs and dissipates impact noise, such as footsteps and dropped objects.
- Airborne Noise Reduction: When combined with other Hush-Systems components, such as acoustic insulation and sealants, the panels significantly reduce airborne noise.
- Compliance with Regulations: The panels meet and exceed the soundproofing requirements of Part E (England and Wales), Section 5 (Scotland), and Part G (Northern Ireland) of the Building Regulations, making them a compliant solution for residential and commercial projects.
Where Can the Hush-Ply 28 Acoustic Plywood Panels Be Used?
The panels are highly versatile and suitable for various applications, including:
- Residential Buildings: Apartments, homes, and loft conversions.
- Commercial Spaces: Clinics, schools, gyms, and offices.
- Moisture-Prone Areas: Kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas requiring moisture-resistant flooring.
- Refurbishment and New Builds: Compatible with existing concrete, timber floors, or direct joist applications.
- Industrial Settings: Factories and workshops needing soundproofing.
How to Install the Hush-Ply 28 Acoustic Plywood Panels?
- Prepare the Subfloor:
- Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and free of debris.
- Lay the Panels:
- Position the panels with the Hushfelt layer facing down.
- Use a broken bond pattern to distribute weight evenly.
- Secure the Tongue-and-Groove Joints:
- Apply adhesive to all tongue-and-groove joints for a secure and stable fit.
- Use Perimeter Seals:
- Install Hush-10 Joist Strips or perimeter seals to isolate the edges and prevent sound leaks.
- Finalise the Installation:
- Once installed, the panels are ready for the chosen flooring finish, such as tiles or engineered wood.
