Instructions: (have you considered Flanking Noise?)
Floor
1.
Treat new concrete floors with a damp proof membrane.
2. Ensure the floor is clean, dry and sufficiently level. If required any unevenness can be levelled out with sand, but Phonewell® does have minor correction capabilities.
3. Begin in one corner and lay the Phonewell® boards on the concrete floor, butted tightly up to the perimeter walls.  Do not screw or nail the boards down.
4. Butt each Phonewell® board up tightly to each other, leaving no gaps.  Lay the boards in a brickwork formation.  See Cutting Phonewell®.
5. Install the finished floor surface as per Fitting Floor Finishes over Phonewell®.
6. Fit skirting boards ensuring no contact with the floor – leave a 2mm gap.
7. Consider treating any identified flanking walls with Phonewell®.
