Product Overview
Metal resilient bar manufactured from galvanised steel for use in acoustic wall and ceiling lining systems.
Designed to reduce sound transmission by decoupling plasterboard linings from the supporting structure, it creates a controlled acoustic break that limits direct vibration transfer.
Installed horizontally across studs or joists, it provides a flexible fixing point for plasterboard while maintaining separation from the main framework. This ensures airborne and impact noise is significantly reduced, enhancing acoustic performance in both residential and commercial applications.
The corrugated profile of the bar adds resilience and allows controlled flex under sound pressure, improving its noise-reducing function without compromising system stability.
Features & Benefits
- Acoustic separation: Decouples plasterboard linings from framing, reducing direct sound transmission.
- Noise control: Significantly improves airborne and impact sound insulation in wall and ceiling systems.
- Resilient profile: Corrugated design provides controlled flexibility while maintaining structural support.
- System reliability: Ensures stable and secure plasterboard fixing without compromising acoustic integrity.
- Galvanised steel construction: Strong, corrosion-resistant, and engineered for long service life.
- Versatile integration: Suitable for use with both wall studs and ceiling joists across varied system designs.
Applications
- Acoustic wall linings: Used to reduce sound transfer through stud wall constructions.
- Ceiling systems: Provides acoustic separation between plasterboard and joists in suspended ceilings.
- Residential upgrades: Effective in improving sound insulation between adjoining rooms or properties.
- Commercial installations: Suitable for offices, schools, and multi-occupancy buildings requiring enhanced acoustic control.
- Refurbishment projects: Ideal where improved acoustic performance is required within existing structures.
Installation Guidance
- Preparation: Ensure substrate studs or joists are clean, level, and structurally sound before fixing.
- Fixing method: Secure bars perpendicular to the framing members at recommended spacings.
- Board attachment: Fix plasterboard directly to the bar, avoiding contact with the main structure.
- Joint alignment: Stagger bars across adjoining sections to maintain continuity and reduce sound paths.
- Care in handling: Avoid distortion of the corrugated profile during cutting and fitting to preserve acoustic performance.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Manufactured from galvanised steel for strength, resilience, and corrosion protection.
- Acoustic performance: Designed to reduce sound transmission by structural decoupling of plasterboard linings.
- System compatibility: Suitable for use in wall and ceiling systems where improved sound insulation is required.
- Important note: Not designed as a structural loadbearing component; intended solely for acoustic lining applications.
