Dunlop Aquacoustic Timber Cushion: meeting the Building Code standard for moisture and

Moisture control and noise levels are two of the major and recurring issues surrounding oating timber oors, impacting on their performance across many residential and commercial environments. As a response to these concerns, Dunlop has undergone extensive research and development to create Aquacoustic a specialist timber cushion combining moisture and sound control. Providing outstanding sound insulation performance, particularly on oors between residential apartments, Dunlop Aquacoustic signicantly improves the comfort and privacy levels experienced by occupants. And because Aquacoustic is treated with one of the worlds leading antimicrobial agents Ultra-Fresh, it offers them protection from mould, mildew, fungi and bacterial growth for a more hygienic environment. Dunlop Aquacoustic is also easier to install. By incorporating a preapplied moisture barrier, it eliminates the hassle of laying a separate barrier, meaning improved productivity for installers. It also meets installers demands for a user-friendly cushion which offers a high slip laminate, lays at and undulation free, and provides effective control of moisture intrusion. Its an investment which allows both speciers and occupants to gain the most out of their timber and laminate ooring. Laminate
