Barrier Material For Ceilings
Ceiling Treatment Using Plain or Decoupled Barriers

Barrier material installed on the underside of the joists can be used to control sound from transmittting through the floor / ceiling structure.

Absorptive material is installed in the spaces between the joists. Generally,
4 to 6 inches of standard fibreglass or mineral wool is sufficient. This will prevent resonance in the cavities between the joists. Plain or decoupled barrier material is then applied to the underside of the joists.

Drywall can be installed directly over the barrier material or in combination with the RSIC-1 Sound Isolation Clip System.



Pot light cavity between joists lined with
decoupled barrier material
(thermal barrier maybe required).

Note: For heavy foot-fall or mechanical contact noise that is being produced on the upper floor, additional treatments may be required to decouple the finished floor. Please see Regupol-QT and Duracoustic Floor Underlayments for more details.
