The HD1053 system is formed using Hush Acoustics' high quality sound insulation products in the following way:

  • Construct a single frame of 92mm/94mm metal stud and track.
  • Ensure the stud and track is isolated from the floor and ceiling structure using the 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.
  • Finally, ensure the perimeters of the plasterboards are sealed with the Hush Acoustic Sealant.

The system complies with the sound insulation standards set out in Approved Document E (England & Wales), Section 5 (Scotland) and Part G (Northern Ireland) and it provides a 1 hour fire resistance standard.
