Acoustic substrate

Alan.. it is rubber crumb like fast flex is..and green screed as well if i recall right.

I see. Novel idea.....do you know what binder it has in it.

 

[DHTiling]

Nope.. i am a tiler not a chemist..:lol:

Guess I'll have to ask my mates at BAL then......:lol: rrr:

I actually stuck some in the bottom of my trailer, then overlayed with 6mm ply and used self tappers to screw it all down, you can hardly hear a rattle now, even when I'm towing my trailer empty

I did have a look at this thread before I commented Aston but it did not really explain how it works very well. I am always one for knowing how everything works - perhaps you've noticed.......

i'm the same mate, i like to question things, i like to understand rather than be told but sometimes i simply accept that theres people out there that know more than me

That'll be a week to get a reply..:lol:..

They are all polymer modified Alan and elastomeric adhesives..except green screed

sound testing is only done between habitable rooms why use acoustie bond?

 

[White Room]

If in flats it's the sound traveling to the flat beneath with tiles.

 

[pete f]

only if the living area is tiled m8

I feel a specification coming on.....here you go.

Acoustic SI- will give you an overall sound reduction of 17Db on all substrates. The thickness is approx 6mm and you should seal the perimeter of the room with Perimeter Movement Strips, this is in order to bridge the sound from the floors to the walls, which can also travel throughout a building. The floor should be primed in advance of applying a polymer modified flexible adhesive (2-3mm) The boards are then laid over and the substrate should be ready to take the tiles. For wet areas then I would change the spec over to Acoustic SS. Hope this helps...
