TufSound wall and ceiling panels top performers
Hodgson and Hodgson has announced that its TufSound panels achieved an impressively high impact resistance rating in recent tests.
Hodgson and Hodgson's experienced team has reacted to market demand for a slimline product offering improved acoustic performance by adding weight to the board.
To increase the weight whilst maintaining its slim profile, cement particle board has been used rather than chipboard.
The board is actually comprised of layers of moisture-resistant MDF with cement particle board, separated by visco-elastic sound damping strips.
A resilient layer of acoustic felt is added to the underside, which contours over minor irregularities in the floor surface and provides mechanical isolation from the existing floor structure.
The upper surface is moisture-resistant, making it possible to use the same acoustic flooring successfully throughout a building, including kitchens and bathrooms.
"Our new slimline Reduc Micro 21 is our most advanced flooring product yet," says Margaret Narburgh, sales director of Hodgson and Hodgson.
"The additional weight means it can achieve really high performance levels, but our product development team has worked hard to keep the thickness down to maintain its ease of use".
"I'm confident it's going to be a winner with the building industry".
