SB Cradle (Pack of 90) - Timber batten support is a composite adjustable cradle designed for impact sound insulation on concrete or timber separating floors. It is ideal for correcting uneven floor surfaces without the need for packers, reducing labor costs. The cradle consists of a 60mm deep x 90mm diameter polycarbonate cradle with a 10mm acoustic resilient layer of SB feltTM. It is compatible with a range of SB-Systems that exceed the current Building Regulation requirements and is Robust Details FFT2 compliant for floor structures EFC-1, EFC-2, and EFS-1.

It is a timber batten support with adjustable threads that allow for precise leveling on uneven sub-floors when upgrading or adding acoustic performance to separating floors. It can be used in both new build and refurbishment projects to correct discrepancies in concrete and timber floors without the need for packers. Additionally, it is ideal for creating a service void as part of a sound insulation system.

Installation

Fitting Instructions:

1. Set out the cradles at the required centers and install the battens with the joins directly over a cradle. Leave perimeter cradles/battens at the ends of the batten runs. Ensure that all perimeter cradles/battens are isolated from the walls by at least 25mm.
2. Level the floor by adjusting the 'O' support ring up and down the threads as needed. Lock it in place by turning the carrier upstands against the battens.
3. When planning the floor layout, leave a 10-15mm expansion gap around all perimeters. Fix the flooring to the battens using a generous amount of SB-Bond Panel Adhesive and secure it with ring nails or screws. Additionally, glue the flooring boards together at all teegee joints.
4. Insert SB-Seal 20 Perimeter Seal into the perimeter expansion gap to ensure the floor floats freely from the walls and maintains acoustic isolation. Alternatively, follow the Robust Detail instructions using SB-RD Flanking Strip.
