Hush Panel 23 2400mm x 600mm x 23mm FSC Mix 70%
Primary applications
Hush Panel 23 is designed specifically to address impact sound performance in masonry floor constructions. Masonry naturally resists airborne sound due to its mass, but without an acoustic floor deck, it fails impact performance requirements under Building Regulations. This product provides a thin, economical solution to bridge that gap.
- Overlay for concrete and masonry floor structures
- Addresses impact sound performance in Building Regulations compliance
- Economical alternative to deeper acoustic floor systems
- Suitable for both new build and retrofit applications
Installation context
The 23mm thickness allows Hush Panel 23 to be used in situations where thicker acoustic systems would create headroom or floor level complications. It is laid as an overlay directly onto the prepared substrate before final flooring is installed.
- Thin profile suitable where headroom is limited
- Installed as an overlay before final floor finish
- Minimises disruption to existing floor levels in retrofit work
Building Regulations and acoustic performance
The product is engineered to help masonry constructions meet impact sound reduction criteria set out in Building Regulations. Whilst masonry provides inherent airborne sound insulation, impact sound (footfall, dropped objects) requires a dedicated acoustic floor deck. Hush Panel 23 fulfils this requirement in a thin format.
- Designed to meet Building Regulations impact performance criteria
- Complements the airborne sound properties of masonry
- Thin solution for impact sound reduction
Substrate preparation
The concrete or masonry substrate must be clean, level, and structurally sound. Any significant unevenness, cracks, or contamination should be addressed before laying Hush Panel 23 to ensure proper contact and acoustic performance.
- Substrate must be level and sound
- Remove dust, debris, and contaminants
- Address significant defects before installation
