Example 3 Acoustic Batten System

Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment is a very versatile product within the refurbishment market and can also be used with batten floor systems, an example of which is detailed across.

18mm T&G chipboard fixed to timber battens laid on Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) adhered to 18mm T&G chipboard.

  • Cut to suit a variety of different batten widths, giving greater flexibility when selecting the batten size.
  • Only 6mm thick, therefore minimises floor heights, which can often be the disadvantage in using standard “off the shelf” products.
  • Fix to the top or bottom of the battens.

Installation

Subfloor preparation is essential for the correct installation of Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment. Subfloors must be sound, smooth, dry and free from any contaminants which could affect adhesion.

Please ensure each roll of Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment is completely unrolled, turned over and left in the area to which it is to be applied for a minimum of 6 hours or ideally overnight prior to cutting and installing.

Laying Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment

Bond Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment to the base floor. The Regupol 3912 Acoustic Underlayment  should be bonded to the subfloor using one of our  recommended adhesives – please contact CMS Danskin for a list.
Please ensure the adhesive guidelines are followed at all times.

Lay the Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment  into the adhesive and press from the centre outwards to exclude air and ensure overall contact with the adhesive.

Roll the Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment  with a 68kg flooring roller, from end to end and side to side to ensure overall contact.

Please leave a minimum gap of 3mm around the entire perimeter to allow for expansion and contraction. Do not butt the Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment  against the skirting boards and/or carpet grippers.

Use a craft knife and straight edge for cutting to size and please ensure that all edges are butt jointed.

After 30 minutes, when the floor has been completely covered, roll once again to ensure contact is maintained.

Please do not apply loads or move furniture on the Regupol 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment until the adhesive has fully set. Please refer to the adhesive manufacturer’s installation guidelines for curing times.

Accessories

CMS Bond 100 High Performance Acoustic Sealant for Use with Regupol® 3912 (REGUPOL sonus 3912) Acoustic Underlayment

CMS Bond 100 is a solvent free low VOC high performance water based acrylic dispersion with very good bond strength. It is suitable for plasticized vinyl floor coverings (including PVC tiles) together with high density foam backed carpets.

Guarantee

CMS Bond 100 is distributed in the UK by CMS Danskin Acoustics. The adhesive manufacturer will guarantee the performance and quality of products against manufacturing defects provided they are used in accordance with our relevant Technical Data Sheets at the time of installation and the appropriate sub floor preparation has been undertaken in accordance with the relevant British Standards.

Floor covering manufacturers are constantly introducing new backings and improving their current products. Certain backings may have unique characteristics which may influence the choice of adhesive used. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the information is correct at the time of publication it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the product is suitable for the particular installation.
If there is any doubt as to the use of our adhesives the installer should contact CMS Danskin Acoustics for advice or carry out their own tests to ensure compatibility.

Important steps before you lay CMS Bond 100 – Surface Preparation

Suitable sub-flooring substrates include concrete, flooring grade hardboard, plywood, chipboard, sand/cement screed, proprietary good quality self-smoothing underlayments. Asphalt and surface membranes should be treated with at least a 3mm coating of the latter before applying the adhesive.

Site conditions should comply with the latest British Standards editions: BS 8102 (Code of Practice for protection against moisture from the ground), BS 8203 (Code of Practice for installation of resilient floor coverings), BS 5325 (Code of Practice for installation of textile floor coverings), BS 8204 part 1 (Code of Practice for installation of self levelling screeding compounds), and supplementary specifications.

Surfaces must be level, firm and clean, free of loose material, mould, oil, grease, organic growth and surface moisture (under 75% RH).

Uneven, dusty or friable surfaces should be treated with the appropriate universal primer and screed.*

It is essential that suitable damp proof membranes be in place to prevent rising damp.*

Under floor heating should be turned off for at least 48 hours prior to and after application.

Particular attention must be paid to the floor covering manufacturer’s instructions. i.e. any pre storage conditions prior to fitting.

*Please contact CMS Danskin for further information.

Installation

CMS Bond 100 is a ready to use versatile product and should not be diluted or adulterated in any way.

Application

Use a notched trowel of dimensions 1.5mm x 5mm or as CFA guidelines.

Heavy textured floor coverings may require a larger towel.

Apply adhesive evenly to the substrate and depending on the substrates lay the floor covering while still wet. It is best to allow the freshly applied adhesive to stand for 15-45 minutes depending on the ambient conditions, to build tack before embedding the floor covering.

Press firmly into place and rill using a 60/70Kg roller or glider depending on material used. Roll again approximately 1 hour after application.

Wait at least 24 hours before welding vinyl seams.

Removal of adhesive from tools

Clean tools with water if adhesive is still wet or use white spirits if it has dried.
