Acoustic Control

摘要

In the current economy, it's important to give clients more bang for their buck. One way to do this on projects where acoustic control is a high priority is to incorporate resilient channels into the wall assembly.Teamed with fiberglass batt insulation and gypsum board, resilient channels are a viable and cost-effective solution to the problem of sound transmission from room to room. In this article, we'll go over how resilient channels function and offer suggestions for specifying the best resilient channel for the job. The resilient channel is a decoupler that allows the attachment of the gypsum board to the studs without the two components touching. This separation breaks the transmission of sound waves through walls. Most of them are manufactured from 25-gauge steel and measure 1/2-inch deep, with holes in the leg of the channel for screws that fasten it to the framing members.
