SoundDown Semplicé Acoustic Flooring Panel
Description

Semplicé is a low profile acoustic flooring panel that reduces sound transmission, is quick to install and well-suited to both new builds and retrofits. 

Semplicé comprises a layer of Magnedure (19mm), and a layer of SaveBoard (6mm). The layers are separated by rubber strips (6mm) with another layer of rubber strips (10mm) below the SaveBoard. 

The Semplicé panel features a tongue and groove finish on the long side and butt finish on the shorter. When installed, it has finished dimensions of 1350 x 600 x 42mm.

Once laid the floor is ready for the final floor covering to be laid.

SoundDown supplies supplementary solutions to facilitate the installation of a level entry shower as well as specifically design FireStop battens to simplify the installation of a fire door where a SoundDown Acoustic flooring system is being installed.
