| Installation |
Soundblox
units may be installed in either running bond or stacked bond.
Erection procedures are essentially the same as those for
ordinary concrete masonry units. The closed ends of the cavities
must be on the top of the units when installed in the wall,
and a full horizontal bed of mortar must be used for optimum
sound transmission loss and optimum sound absorption. The
slots shall be exposed to the area where the sound absorption
is desired. All necessary cutting on the job site shall be
performed with power tools in such manner as to provide straight
and true edges. No chipped or broken blocks shall be used.
Care shall be taken to ensure that the slots are kept free
of mortar or debris. Soundblox workmanship shall conform to
all requirements of the General Specifications for masonry
work. |
