Hush Panel 32 - Acoustic Floor Panel

Hush Panel 32 is a floating flooring panel for use over concrete, existing timber floors or directly over joists (the FFL is 30 mm over an existing floor base 40 mm over joists). It comprises of tongued and grooved P5 moisture resistant chipboard panels which are designed to be laid in a conventional broken bond pattern.

It has been developed to provide an impact sound-reducing floor panel, offering added rigidity that enables it to be used as a structural board as well as an overlay board. When used as a structural floor, the stiffness of the upper layer accommodates wider joist centres, up to 600mm.

Hush Panel 32's combination of increased mass and the Hush Felt resilient layer can produce superior results when used as part of a sound insulation system for separating floors.

The panel is formed of a 22mm High Density P5 Moisture Resistant tongued and grooved chipboard and a 10mm Hush Felt resilient layer. It has an overall nominal thickness of 32mm with an FFL over floor deck of 30mm.

Installation guidance:

• All tongued and grooved joints are glued using Hush Bond adhesive and the floor is kept clear of the walls using Hush Seal 20 pressed into the 10–15 mm expansion gap.
• When Hush Panels are laid directly over joists, a 10 mm Hush Joist strip should be stapled to the top of the joists.
