Resilient Bar – Metal – Acoustic Control

Product Overview

This industrial-grade metal resilient bar is crafted from galvanized steel, designed for use in acoustic wall and ceiling lining systems. Its primary function is to minimize sound transmission by decoupling plasterboard linings from the supporting structure. This creates a controlled acoustic break that effectively limits direct vibration transfer.

When installed horizontally across studs or joists, the bar offers a flexible fixing point for plasterboard while maintaining separation from the main framework. This ensures that both airborne and impact noise are significantly reduced, enhancing acoustic performance in residential and commercial applications.

The corrugated profile of the bar adds resilience and allows for controlled flex under sound pressure, thus improving its noise-reducing function without compromising system stability.

Features & Benefits

• Acoustic separation: Decouples plasterboard linings from framing to reduce direct sound transmission.
• Noise control: Significantly enhances 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.
• Galvanized steel construction: Strong, corrosion-resistant, and engineered for a long service life.
• Versatile integration: Suitable for use with both wall studs and ceiling joists across varied system designs.

Applications

• Acoustic wall linings: Reduces 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 for improving acoustic performance in 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.
