Installation
Tools needed: Sharp trimming knife, handsaw, Flexible mastic with
dispensing gun, Dry Wall Adhesive, Bucket & Trowel.
- All skirting and coving is to be removed.
- Make sure the
wall is clean and that all dust is wiped away.
- Before the installation commences we recommend you lift some of
the floor boards and inspect the wall area below the floor level. Dense
Fibre matting 100 mm should be used to infill these areas as necessary.
Further matting is available on request.
- Replace the floor boards as these will act as a solid base for the
system.
- You can start in the bottom left or bottom right
corner. Offer your first panel to the wall making sure it sits square
and there are no gaps down the wall edge. If there is a gap, trim the
edge of the board to the angle of the wall until the panel sits flush
and square. (You can use a handsaw, jigsaw, circular saw or sharp blade
depending on the severity of the cut.) This will make the rest of the
installation much easier.
- Mix a bag of dry wall adhesive which will cover approximately 8
panels. The consistency can be made quite wet but always remember to mix
every bag the same, otherwise you may find some panels edges wont
match. Use the manufacturers recommended procedure, following all safety
instructions.
- Apply the dry wall adhesive to the rear of your first NSSW2+ panel.
We recommend an even spread of 16 'blobs' the size of your fist in four
rows of four.
- You can now place the panel on the wall but leave a temporary 10mm
gap along the wall edge. With your flexible mastic run a bead down the
edge of the panel in the 10mm gap you've just left. Now push the panel
tightly into the wall leaving no gap. This will create a complete seal
to the wall.
- Apply the flexible mastic to all the remaining edges that are
visible. You have now installed your first panel! Follow this routine
with every panel.
- Work along the top row in the same manner as the bottom row,
trimming any panels as needed. Remember to stagger the joints to between
the two rows, this will improve the soundproofing performance.
- Once
the wall is finished decorate to complete.
