Resilient Bar
Resilient Bar is a thin metal channel designed to substantially improve the sound insulation of plasterboard walls and ceilings. Also known as RC8 resilient channel, RB1, resilient furring channels, Soundbreaker bars etc etc. The channel effectively isolates the plasterboard from the studwork, eliminating 'direct contact' to dissipate sound which would normally be transferred through the frame. This system is easy to install and produces dramatic results especially when trying to reduce impact noise through floors. |

Our resilient bars, or resilient channels as they are sometimes called, are superior quality and highly flexible unlike other types that are on the market which are just too rigid to have a beneficial effect.
For Example:
A standard 75mm x 38mm timber framed stud partition lined both sides with 12.5mm plasterboard gives an Rw rating of around 37dB. The same wall, but with mineral wool insulation and resilient bars between the plasterboard and frame, to one side only, gives an Rw rating of around 46dB. |
