50mm Hush Self Adhesive Isolation Tape - 10m roll

50mm Hush Self Adhesive Isolation Tape is an essential acoustic accessory designed to prevent sound transmission through direct contact in various building structures, thereby improving overall sound insulation. It is a self-adhesive, resilient tape primarily used to decouple structural elements, preventing vibrations and sound energy from flanking or directly transmitting through a building. This tape is commonly applied in the construction of internal partitions, particularly under the sole and header plates of timber or metal stud walls. It acts as a critical isolating layer, ensuring that the wall structure does not directly connect to the floor or ceiling, which would otherwise create a path for sound to travel. Hush Isolation Tape is also effectively used on top of floor joists, especially at perimeter junctions of floating floor systems or when isolating floorboards from structural joists. By creating a resilient break at these contact points, it significantly reduces the transfer of impact noise (like footsteps) and airborne sound.

CHARACTERISTICS

• A durable foam, engineered to be load-bearing.
• Decouples structural elements to prevent direct sound transmission and flanking.
• Commonly used under sole plates and header plates of timber or metal stud partitions.
• Significantly reduces the transfer of both impact noise and airborne sound.
• Easy to cut and install due to its self-adhesive backing.
• Prevents vibrational energy and sound from flanking or transmitting directly through contact points.
• Maintains acoustic performance even under compression.
• Aids in achieving compliance with UK Building Regulations for sound insulation (e.g., Approved Document E).

APPLICATION

• Applied on top of floor joists, particularly at perimeter junctions of floating floor systems or when isolating floorboards.
• Suitable for a wide range of building types, including residential, commercial, and educational.
