Apply the Rockwool Acoustic Infill strips directly within the
troughs of the metal deck. Ensure that all joints are tightly
butted together. Where lengths of Rockwool Acoustic Infill
require to be cut, this is easily facilitated with a sharp knife.
Follow with the installation of the appropriate VCL,
Rockwool insulation and waterproofing layer in accordance
with the manufacturers requirements. Day joints must be
formed at the conclusion of each section of work to seal
exposed edges of the Rockwool Acoustic Infill and Hardrock
DD roofing board. For roof board installation, see the
Hardrock DD data sheet.
