Features

  • Made from 100% recycled material
  • No ozone-depleting substances are generated during manufacture
  • Free from lead, odour-producing oils and bitumen
  • Easily installed by quality carpet layers. No special tools or fixtures required
  • Available in roll or sheet form, or custom made to suit (minimum order quantities apply)

Installation

  • Use standard domestic carpet gripper unless otherwise directed.
  • Lay the foam side of the Silentstep onto the floor surface.
  • Butt the edges of the Silentstep together – join each sheet with good quality underlay tape.
  • Silentstep has sufficient internal weight to remain in position during the fitting of the carpet. Bonding and stapling will reduce the acoustic performance of the material.
  • Cut the Silentstep in as per normal underlay installation.
  • Make certain the carpet is firmly attached to the leading gripper pins.
  • Bolster the carpet between the far side gripper edge and skirting board.
