Installation
“Soundproofing is often overlooked in renovations, but working on Caerula Mar over the past two years has definitely “opened my ears” to the benefits of quality soundproofing. With SONOpan, it doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. It’s easy to install, lightweight, and affordable. Take it from me, with SONOpan – you won’t believe what you’re not hearing”
INSTALLATION
Before installing SONOpanX flooring panels, ensure that the installation site and conditions match those described on this page.
The soundproofing panels must be protected from the elements at all times and should always be stored lying flat. SONOpanX panels are not structural, a structural subfloor must be in place before installing SONOpanX. These instructions correspond to residential and light commercial applications.
SONOpanX should be installed with the dimple side facing down ensuring a tight fit between panels.
INSTALLATION
Step 1
Store panels lying flat prior to use.
Step 2
SONOpan X panels are made from wood and cut best with a circular saw. They may also be cut with a sharp knife, but do not score and snap!
Step 3
SONOpan X should be installed with the dimple side facing down. Ensure a tight fit between panels.
Step 4
Staple panels using 1″ (25mm) long crown staples. Place 9 staples in each panel, following the spacing guide above. Staples should be countersunk to a depth of 1/16″ (1mm) below the surface.
Step 5
Leave a gap of 1/8-1/4″ (3-6mm) around the perimeter of the room and around any opening made in the SONOpan X.
Step 6
Flooring must be installed shortly after the installation of SONOpan X to avoid unnecessary wear on the soundproofing panel. A variety of floor types can be used over SONOpan X, see sonopan.com for more information.
