Acoustic Hangers

Acoustic Hangers

Acoustic hangers are used to reduce sound levels in surrounding floors above a suspended ceiling. Their purpose is to enhance the sound properties of suspended ceilings by reducing the effect from vibrations and lower noise from travelling between adjoining rooms.

Acoustic joist hangers are non-intrusive and are simple to install, leaving little mess when fitted to existing ceilings. If removing an old ceiling the acoustic hangers can still be applied, but they are more commonly fitted to ceilings already in place.

When it comes to soundproofing a ceiling, it’s important to consider the mass of the ceiling as well as the sound absorption and overall resilience. The mass usually is met with two layers of acoustic plasterboard and wool with a high density. The acoustic ceiling hangers type C (at 35mm or 70mm) sit directly over a batten of wood, which is usually resting on top of the double layered of soundproof plasterboard. The top of the acoustic panel hanger is fitted with the joist, running perpendicular.
