How the HD1053 system is formed:

• A single frame of 92mm/94mm metal stud and track is constructed.
• Isolate the stud and track from the floor and ceiling structure using Hush Heavy Duty Isolation Tape.
• Insulate within the stud using Hush-Slab 100 Sound Absorber - these slabs must be installed tightly within the stud frame.
• Install Hush Bar Deep Resilient Bars to one side of the stud frame.
• Face both sides of the wall with two layers of 15mm Soundbloc plasterboards.
• Ensure the plasterboard fixings attaching the Soundbloc to the Hush Deep Resilient Bars do not penetrate through to the stud work.
• Seal the perimeters of the plasterboards using Hush Acoustic Sealant.
