By As per building regulations the floor and ceiling assemblies for parties must have the minimum Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 50. To attain this level of isolation designers typically specify a resilient channel (aka Z bar) with two layers of Gypsum wallboard. But, there’s a misconception that a resilient channel cannot accommodate multiple layers of gypsum board in ceiling/floor assemblies. Although we don’t know where this myth originated, there is evidence that shows that a resilient channel attached to the underside of floor joists is able to support two layers of 5/8-inch or 1/2-inch Gypsum wallboard. Gypframe rb1 resilient bar, an acoustic floor solution that is used in the renovation or conversion of a home. It can be upgraded on the timber joist floors in order to comply with the specifications in the Building Regulations for separating floors between rooms caused by an alteration of usage or conversion.
Key Benefits
It provides a substantial improvement in the acoustic quality, which makes it a great upgrade to transform a poorly performing floor into one that is Building Regulations compliant
It adds just 7mm to existing floor height, minimising the impact on fittings and fixtures when compared with alternative options, such as floating flooring systems
The transfer of impact noise from the floor structure to the space below, for instance, impact noise from footfalls or furniture movements. This is reduced by the neoprene strip that is integrally located inside Gypframe SIF floor channels
The acoustic performance of the floor can be further enhanced when you install Gypframe rb1 resilient bar to keep the ceiling lining from Joists
A building could be improved with regard to the acoustic. and fire performance without the need for extensive modifications or access accessible from above only
Gypfloor Silent Components Of The System
Gypframe SIF1 Floor channel: Channel with an integrated acoustic isolation unit set on the top of timber joists that are smaller in or greater than 63mm to be able to support Gyproc Plank.
Gypframe SIF2 Floor channel: Channel with an integrated acoustic isolation unit placed on top of timber joists more than 75mm in width to help support Gyproc Plank. Also , it is used around the edges.
Gypframe SIF4 Floor Channels: channel with an integrated acoustic isolation unit placed on top of timber joists ranging from 64mm to 75mm wide, which help support Gyproc Plank.
Gypframe RB1 Resilient Bar: Acoustically engineered channel that separates board fixing from timber joist, and to prevent nail popping.
Gypframe RB2: The Sound-Isolating Bar utilised to enhance the sound quality of ceilings as well as wall systems.
Gypfloor Silent Design
The design of the building GypFloor silent consists of Gypframe RB1 resilient bar installation which are placed on the upper surfaces of the timber beams as well as Gypframe RB1 Sturdy Bars which are attached to the bottom of the timber Joists.
Planning Is One Of The Most Important Aspects
The GypFloor silent system increases 7mm on the height of the top joists. The finished surface of ceiling linings applied will be 16mm, plus what the board linings are thicker that are located on the side of the joists that is the Gypframe rb1 resilient bar price.
Ceiling linings need to be in place prior to installing plaster or dry lining on walls. If this isn’t feasible ceiling linings must position in a clean manner to the wall.
Structural Structure: The system is design for floors make of timber with a distribute load up to 5.0kN/m2 and a maximum point weight of 4.5kN. A rise in the weight of the floor is expect by upgrading.
Handy Hint
- Gypframe SIF Floor Channels are able to accommodate the following Joist sizes:
- Gypframe SIF1 Floor Channels for joists up to 63mm
- Gypframe Floor Channel SIF4 for joists between 64 and 75mm
- Gypframe SIF2 Floor Channels for Joists greater than 75mm

Construction’s Importance
If you wish for your home to be protect from the elements in addition to looking stunning for at least two decades A render that is insulate. A through-colour Monocouche render or a light coating system are what you want.

If the brickwork you have is infeste with mould or organic growth and fungus. It must be clean prior to rendering it on. This can done using Weber CL150/Parex Mould Buster, a water-base masonry cleaner and steriliser make to remove. The buildup prior to rendering as well as before the use of any other decorative finishes.
