NSSF7 +

An Acoustic flooring underlay which is used extensively by private houses, property companies, commercial businesses, housing associations, contractors and builders. Its ease of installation makes it the ideal product for use under carpet, as a replacement or supplement to traditional carpet underlay. NSSF7 Plus offers higher levels of performance compared to NSSF7 and is ideal for those undertaking conversions as it helps to conform to Building Regulations (Approved Document E) offering improved levels of impact and airborne sound insulation, when used on an existing floor.

Installation

Each sheet comes in 1200mm x 600mm sheets making them easy to handle, store and fit.  NSSF7 Plus needs to be installed compactly with no gaps between sheets and the joins staggered.  You can either bond them to the floor or lay them loose.  The edges can be tightly pushed into the edges of the room as sound does not vibrate along the sheets.

Method 1 - Adhesive

Clean and secure all floorboards, this is essential for achieving the best results.  The NSSF7 Plus membrane can be bonded to most hardwoods and carpets.  When using this method, the NSSF7 needs to be bonded to the floor before it is bonded to the carpet.

Method 2 - Carpet grippers

A 25mm perimeter strip needs to be purchased and applied to the perimeter of the room; this allows the gripper to be flush with the surface of the NSSF7 Plus.  Fix the perimeter strips using nails with the rubber face down.  This creates an anti vibration layer in which the carpet gripper can be nailed to.  If the gripper is to in contact with the skirting board, then we recommend applying a flexible mastic bead in between the two surfaces to reduce any transmission of sound.
