If you have pre-customised this work section using the "questions and answers" provided as part of the downloading process, it may be necessary to amend some clauses to suit the final project-specific version.
The section must still be checked and customised to suit the project being specified, by removing any other irrelevant details and adding project-specific details and selections.
This section relates to the supply and installation of Woodland Lifestyle Ltd, PhoneStar acoustic underlay board for interior floor applications.
It includes:
Modify / expand this clause to suit requirements of the final version of the section.
The PhoneStar acoustic underlay system is suitable for various flooring types and can be used in wet areas when a compatible waterproof membrane is applied over the underlay. It is suitable for commercial, retail, institutional, residential, and multi-unit dwellings.
Woodland Lifestyle can provide IIC and STC results for specific assemblies, but compliance with NZBC G6/VM1 requires on-site testing. Refer to Woodland Lifestyle technical information, as system performance depends on the entire floor assembly.
