How to install Instasoft®?
Important: gluing must always be conducted in a well-ventilated and preferably heated area. Installation on walls is carried out using the contact adhesive principle, without any mechanical fixing for an optimum sound insulation benefit.
- It is preferable to start at the bottom of the wall. If you make sure that the first panel is positioned correctly, then the rest of the panels will be easier to install. Depending on the evenness of the floor, you may need to adjust the bottom panels.
- To cut Instasoft® panels, we recommend using a snap-off blade knife (cutter blade).
- We do not recommend using pieces smaller than 10 cm. This can be checked by positioning the panels before applying the adhesive. In this way, if the panel at the end of the wall or just below the ceiling is less than 10 cm, you can still make adjustments to the first panel accordingly.
- Always use Recticel adhesive for acoustic panels, to stick Instasoft® to the supporting wall. For application instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s literature.
- Once the Instasoft® panels are installed, you can continue and hang the plasterboard sheets. Follow the manufacturer’s hanging instructions for the correct way to install and handle plasterboard sheets. Always use Recticel adhesive for acoustic panels and for applying plasterboard sheets onto Instasoft® acoustic panels. The plasterboard sheets need to be positioned about 2 to 3 mm from the floor, the adjoining walls and the ceiling, and the gap filled in with an acrylic mastic.
