dB Strip 4+ - High-performance decoupling strip - Insulco

dB Strip 4+ is a resilient strip made of physically cross-linked PE foam with a pyramidal structure on one side and a self-adhesive surface with a protector on the other side.

This decoupling strip has been specially designed to improve the acoustic performance of lightweight partitions or wooden floors .

It is very simple and economical to install.

Applications:

• Decoupling a wooden floor:

Remove the protector and stick the resilient strip "dB Strip 4+" onto the joists before installing the new floor.

• Detaching a lightweight partition:

Apply "dB Strip 4+" to the outer face of the horizontal and vertical metal profiles before fixing them to the side walls, ceiling, and floor. The resilient strip will minimize contact between the profiles and their support. dB Strip 4+ will also fill any irregularities in the walls, floor, and ceiling, creating a perfectly airtight seal around the entire perimeter of the partition.

To improve the acoustic performance of the partition, it is advisable to stick "dB Strip 3+" acoustic strips on the faces of the horizontal and vertical profiles on which the plasterboards will be fixed (see acoustic strip %C3% A8res-insulco-9145385988541.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">insulco dB Strip 3+ ).

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the purpose of the dB Strip 4+?
   It serves to decouple floors from vertical walls in order to reduce the transmission of impact noise and improve overall sound insulation.
2. Is it mandatory for a floating screed?
   It is strongly recommended (and often required in acoustic specifications) to guarantee the performance of a floating screed.
3. Can it be used in renovation?
   Yes, the dB Strip 4+ is perfectly suited for renovation projects, especially when renovating floors.
4. Is it compatible with underfloor heating?
   Yes, it is compatible with underfloor heating systems, provided that it is installed according to best practices.
5. How is the dB Strip 4+ installed?
   The strip is placed around the perimeter, against the walls and partitions, before the screed is laid or the floor covering is installed. The excess is trimmed after finishing.
6. Can it improve airborne noise insulation?
   Its main role concerns impact noise. It contributes indirectly to overall acoustic comfort, but does not replace airborne noise insulation.
