Hush-Grommet Fixing Isolators - pack of 50

Hush-Grommet Fixing Isolators are specialised acoustic components engineered to acoustically decouple mechanical fixings, such as screws, from the surrounding structure. These vital grommets effectively interrupt the path of impact sound and vibration that would otherwise "flank" or transmit through rigid screw connections. Manufactured from a durable, resilient rubber material, Hush-Grommet Fixing Isolators are designed to be countersunk into the upper surface of acoustic panels, particularly floating floor panels like Hush-Panel systems. A screw is then inserted through the centre of the grommet, allowing the panel to be mechanically secured to the sub-structure (e.g., stair treads, joists, or noggings) while maintaining crucial acoustic isolation. Their primary purpose is to "cloak" the mechanical fixing, significantly mitigating the acoustic damage that direct, rigid connections can cause. They are particularly valuable for use in areas where a strong mechanical fixing is essential, but acoustic performance must not be compromised, such as at door thresholds, access hatches, stair treads, or along cut edges of floating floor panels where traditional tongue-and-groove joints are unavailable for gluing.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Manufactured from a durable, resilient rubber material.
• Acoustically decouples mechanical fixings (e.g., screws) from the surrounding structure.
• Interrupts the path of impact sound and vibration.
• Prevents sound flanking through rigid screw connections.
• Cloaks the mechanical fixing to mitigate acoustic damage.
• Absorbs and dampens impact energy and vibrations.
• Maintains crucial acoustic isolation.
• Ensures the integrity of the overall sound insulation scheme.

APPLICATION

• Used where strong mechanical fixing is essential while maintaining acoustic performance.
• Door thresholds.
• Access hatches.
  
• Stair treads.
  
• Along cut edges of floating floor panels (where tongue-and-groove joints are absent).
  
• When fixing panels to joists or noggins.
