FIXING:

How to soundproof a floor, wall or ceiling

Because this product can cause irritation to the skin, protective gloves should be worn when handling the product and suitable protective wear including goggles should be worn when working above your head.

The SoundBlocker Quilt sound absorber is installed in a similar way to standard glass fibre rolls.
When installing between floor joists its best to fold the quilt around a piece of wooden battening and fix the battening into the sides of the joists. This will compress the quilt tight against the joists for the very best performance. If installing within a stud frame do the same fixing method to the header plate and the sides of the studs. Alternatively, the quilt can be stapled using a normal upholstery type staple gun and 14mm staples

(This product is also ideal for providing a soundproofing layer above lightweight suspended ceilings.)

Please Note: This insulation is made with 25mm fibreglass either side of the membrane but due to being shipped in roll form will be compressed overall to around 25mm but will recover when unrolled.
