ACOUSTICAL RATINGS |
|
The acoustical ratings advertised by Homasote Co. are the result of testing under stabilized laboratory conditions. In actual building construction, every effort must be made to block or eliminate noise leaks and flanking paths. Because the site environment, structure design and application methods may vary, Homasote Company does not warranty field performance. |
|
|
|
(1) Apply adhesive bead on each joist with double bead wherever panel joints occur. Also apply a bead in the groove of the T&G edge. |
|
|
|
(2) Place panel with long edge at right angle to joists and with top or bottom in proper position as marked. Stagger joints on alternate joists and allow 1/8" gap between ends of panels |
|
|
|
(3) Support all ends on joists or additional blocking. Support without breaks between framing members and at all points where direction of joists changes. |
|
|
|
(4) Snug fit tongue-and-grooved sides together. Hammer panel with block or cut off section to avoid damage to tongue. |
|
|
|
(5) Glue and nail according to diagram pattern &
sequence (see other side). Drive nails 1/16" below
surface |
|
|
|
|
|
(6) For best results, apply glue, position panel and drive nails into center of joists. At panel ends, toe-nail 3/4" from edge into center of joist. |
|
|
|
(7) Partitions may be installed over floor decking - across floor joists. Nail plates thru decking into joists. Nail plates thru decking into joist 20 d. nails. For partition parallel to joist, install adequate support framing under plate. |
|
|
|
(8) Fill cut-out voids with mineral wool. Use metal flange for toilet installation. Cut clearance hole to allow enough material for bolting flange to blocking around soil pipe. |
|
|
|
(9) Where long runs are involved, allow 1/2" expansion per 50' of length, allow 1/2" expansion at perimeter of abutting walls. |
|
|
|
(10) Brace joists with diagonal bridging. After all decking is in place, securely nail lower ends of bridging to joists. |
