15mm JCW ImpactaLay Plus Acoustic Mat

15mm JCW ImpactaLay Plus Acoustic Mat is a remarkably cost-effective and one of the quickest and most effective acoustic solutions on the market. It increases airborne sound insulation and reduces impact noise transmission so much that there is no need for the installation of false floors or false walls. JCW ImpactaLay Acoustic Mat not only increases minimum ceiling height, but it also reduces labour and materials costs considerably. It is made from an acoustic foam, which does not harden or crumble over time.

• New build
• Refurbishments
• Domestic upgrade
• Can be bonded to timber and concrete floors

• The matting should be laid onto a smooth flat sub-floor. Sub-floor preparation is important to ensure that the final decorative floor finish is adequately supported.
• If Timber sub-floors are undulating then it may be necessary to overlay with a minimum of 6mm plywood. Concrete sub-floors may require partial screed levelling.
• Prior to laying the acoustic matting, butt the JCW Gripper Strips up to the wall edges or skirting boards.
• Place the carpet gripper rods on top and up to the front edge of the JCW Gripper Strips then secure to the sub-floor using minimum 30mm pins; this should leave a small 5-8mm gap between the wall/skirting and gripper rod for the carpet to recess into.
• Butt joint the JCW Impactalay Plus mats up to the gripper rods and complete the floor area ensuring all mats are staggered row by row.
• The mats can be loose laid or the joints can be secured using JCW Black Cloth Jointing Tape to reduce the possibility of curling and potentially showing through the carpet. Alternatively, JCW Impactalay Plus mats can be fully bonded to most sub-floors using JCW Impacta Adhesive.
• Floated engineered wood planks with interlocking or bonded T&G joints can be floated & laid directly on top of JCW Impactalay Plus mats. All board joints should overlap the mat joints by at least 100mm.
• Thin wood laminate, carpet, tiles, vinyl, rubber or linoleum sheet will generally require additional support to prevent the joints from dipping and snapping, so should be adhesive bonded on top of the matting.
• NOTE: Ceramic & stone tiling are not recommended due to the compressive nature of JCW Impactalay Plus.
