Softsound 2
Softsound 2 is Harobau’s soundproofing lagging that provides a positive architectural acoustic effect. Decoupling and flexible, it reduces stress and is highly resistant to water pressure. It reduces footstep sound by as much as 17 dB under tiles and laminated flooring and has been tested to DIN EN ISO 140-8 standard.
Use
Renovations, new constructions, exteriors.
Benefits and Applications
Some examples of this product’s performance
• Optimally reduces footstep sound up to 16 dB (to DIN 52 210 standard)
• Has ideal stress compensation characteristics for safe decoupling
• Provides for easy installation since it can be cut using common cutters
• Features a thickness of only 4 mm, which makes it more practical to handle during placement
• Completely non-toxic and odorless
• Disposable together with normal solid city waste.
The SoftSound footstep noise absorption and decoupling lagging ensures:
• Easy and dust-free cutting using a simple general purpose cutter.
• Fast gluing to a level slab using common tile binding mortar.
• Direct gluing of ceramic cladding using binding mortar without requiring the application of reinforcement netting.
• Joints can be sealed using paper tape or brush-applied liquid acrylic glue.
Substrate types:
• Wood flooring
• Concrete
• Screed (including heated types)
• Tile floors
• Concrete stairs
• Steel or wood
The low heat resistance factor of SoftSound is unique on the market. This guarantees best heat conductivity properties and therefore makes it ideal for use with conventional or electric floor heating systems. It is also excellent for temporary floor solutions since it is extremely flexible and quickly removed.
Examples of installation
On rough and unlevelled substrates (such as concrete screeds, for example) lay on the entire surface with flexible tile glue. On flat substrates (puttied surfaces or dry construction materials, for example) apply acrylic or polyurethane-based adhesive and glues prior to panel placement.
