Resilient Bar is a thin metal channel designed to substantially improve the sound insulation of plasterboard walls and ceilings. Our Resilient Bars are Robust Detail Approved and Tested. Do not be fooled by inferior, untested products that may simply look similar.

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:
If installed correctly, Laboratory tests show that including Custom Audio Designs Robust Detail Approved Resilient Bars in a standard separating floor buildup can increase airborne and impact reduction by ΔR_w+C_tr 17dB and ΔL_n,w 17dB respectively.
SRL Report Number C/09/5L/20805/R01a

Maximum Loading: With bars spaced at 400mm centres the maximum recommended Uniform Distributed Load is 35kg/m²

Even greater improvements in soundproofing can be gained by:-

Bonding our high performance 2FT80 to the wall before installing the framework.
Stapling one or more layers of Tecsound Acoustic Membrane over the framework first.
Adding one or more layers of Tecsound Acoustic Membrane in-between the layers of plasterboard
Securing the battens via our 5mm neoprene strips if they are to be fixed directly to the wall.
Sit any independant framework on our 10mm x 40m/60mm/80mm neoprene strips. (or speak to us about using the 2FT80 for enhanced performance here)
