between flooring and the perimeter wall and<br />
seal the gap with GTEC Intumescent Acoustic<br />
Sealant before skirtings are fitted.<br />
Screw-fix through the flooring and GTEC Plank<br />
into the GTEC Metal Angle either side of each<br />
joist using 63mm GTEC Acoustic Floor screws at<br />
a maximum of 300mm centres ensuring that<br />
the fixings do not penetrate the floor joist.<br />

<strong>The</strong> screws, when screwed home and<br />
countersunk, pull the GTEC Metal Angles out<br />

the GTEC Resilient Tape.<br />
