1. Ensure that floors are level and clean with no protruding nail/screw heads in floor
2. Fill all voids between walls and floor
3. Butt boards tightly together
4. Joints should be bonded using CMS SoundDeck adhesive (nails/screws should never be used)
5. Install SoundDeck Flanking Band around the perimeter of the floor to isolate flooring boards from walls and skirtings.

CMS Danskin Acoustics Flanking Band is a cross-linked closed cell polyolefin foam strip which is designed to reduce the transmission of flanking sound around the perimeter of acoustically isolated floor systems. It is pre-scored on one side for ease of application comes in a variety of widths and is available with or without self-adhesive backing. Custom sizes are available to special order.

The CMS Flanking Band is applied around the perimeter of acoustic flooring systems to reduce airborne and impact noise and is suitable for use in both commercial and residential applications, efficiently limiting the passage of flanking noise through the floor.

The CMS Acoustic Flanking Band is ideal for new, retrofit or renovation projects in offices, homes and hotel applications as it is so easy to fit and can be used with acoustic battens, acoustic cradles and acoustic decking.

Flanking band isolates the flooring system from adjacent structures. The band is trapped against the wall and returned down over the flooring. The skirting board is then fixed to the wall securing the flanking strip between the skirting board and the SoundDeck.  After the skirting board is installed, simply trim the flanking strip flush with a sharp trimming knife.
