installation instructions inuslating inside double walls correct laying of the insulating panel fig 1 ­ rubber stripes must be layed before erecting first brick wall total width of stripes must be enough to contain all the components of the final wall a concrete plaster is required on the inside part of the first wall light grey in the picture this plaster increases the weight of the wall and close any space between bricks fig 2 ­ insulating panel eco-c1 sandwich shown in this picture can be as high as the wall and m.1,2 wide this allows to reduce number of junctions between panels with big advantages for the continuity of the insulation cut panel in required size put some points of glue 8/10 point each panel are enough join the panel on the wall panels are self-supporting

fig 3 ­ junction between panels can be sealed by a tape in red in the picture complete the wall with other panels pay attention not to leave space between panels to create a continuos insulating barrier last panel must be cutted in required size using a simple cutter fig 4 ­ then you can build the second wall please note how the rubber stripe must be wider than complete wall to avoid contact between wall and screed to get a correct insulation residue concrete plaster must be removed the whole wall must rest on rubber stripes.

installation instructions insulation of existing walls how to install the panels directly on the wall using glue fig 1 ­ this instuction explain on an exixting wall with a poor soundproofing lay foam rubber stripes eco-mousse on the flooring green in the picture it s a separation between insulating panel and flooring cut panel at the same hight of the wall must be covered spread glue with a roller on the whole surface of the panel don t use glues containing solvents because they leave a bad smell for a long time you can also use glues for plasterboard fig 2 ­ raise the panel on the wall for your safety put at least a couple of plastic rawplugs to fix the panel in the upper side red in the picture this precaution is helpful to avoid the fall of the panel in case of loss of effectiveness of the glue for accidental.

fig 3 ­ then you can advance to lay all other panels to complete the coverage of the wall pay great attention when laying panels surface must be continuous and without free spaces between panels last panel can be cut with a simple blade cutter fig 4 ­ to add weight to the wall and increase compressive strenght you can lay another insulationg panel or we recommend at least another plasterboard this second insulating layer must have junctions in different points than the first one this trick is useful to avoide the passage of the noise after laying the last panel you can seal the space between panels as a normal plasterboard wall.

fig 3 ­ cut the upper excess of eco-band only after the laying of the final flooring not before this point has a great importance to avoid flooring and side walls could be in touch each other with a great transmission of noise and vibrations and a bad acoustic performance fig 4 ­ before laying final skirting you must provide a separation layer with the flooring our product cut-off is a thin adhesive foam rubber stripe studied just for this purpose sound level measurements show as this trick allows a gain of 3-4 db in final result it avoids the contact between flooring and walls with a big increase af acoustic insulation between two floors.
