Resilient Bars

Acoustic Metal Channels for Superior Sound Isolation

The Resilient Bar (also known as a resilient channel) is a proven and cost-effective solution for improving sound insulation in walls and ceilings. Designed to decouple plasterboard layers from the structure, resilient bars dramatically reduce sound vibration transfer, improving overall acoustic performance and creating quieter, more comfortable spaces.

Key Benefits

• Reduces Sound Transmission – Decouples plasterboard from the supporting structure to minimize vibration transfer.

• Improves Acoustic Performance – Enhances airborne noise reduction in both walls and ceilings.

• Easy Installation – Standard fixings make it simple to attach to timber or metal joists.

• Lightweight & Durable – Made from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel for long-lasting performance.

• Compatible with Soundproofing Systems – Ideal for use with SP15 Soundboard, acoustic insulation, and double plasterboard layers.

Specifications

• Length: Typically 3m per bar

• Width: Approx. 45mm

• Depth: 16–20mm

• Material: Galvanized steel

• Installation: Suitable for ceilings, stud walls, and partition systems

Resilient Bars are essential components in effective soundproofing systems, designed to isolate acoustic plasterboards from joists or studs to reduce vibration and airborne noise transfer. These metal channels create a flexible connection that absorbs impact and stops sound bridging through walls and ceilings. Used in conjunction with Tecsound membranes, acoustic insulation, and Soundbloc boards, our resilient bars deliver professional results for domestic and commercial projects across the UK.
