How do you fix resilient bars?
- Bar Installation: The bars should be fixed to joists/battens/studwork using either drywall or self drilling screws at 400 to 450mm centres below ceiling joists and at 600mm centres on timber stud walls.
- Plasterboard:
- Fixing:
- Edge Sealant:
- Finishing:

Similarly one may ask, are resilient bars worth it?
Resilient bars provide a cost-effective means of reducing noise transmission through a ceiling or wall and they are simple to install. Air Tightness Solutions have a positive experience of partition systems that have incorporated resilient bars as being a highly effective way of reducing propagated noise transmission.
Additionally, can you overlap resilient channel? Resilient channels can cantilever a maximum of 6 inches. An option to the overlap would be to abut the adjacent channels over the same framing member, leaving a 1/16-inch gap between the channels. Additional channels should be installed on the wall framing if there will be wall cabinets.
Accordingly, what do resilient bars do?
Resilient bars allow secure fixing of plasterboard or other boards to timber joints while improving the acoustic insulation of walls or ceilings. When properly installed, they allow the wall or ceiling to flex slightly, which absorbs sound.
What is Green Glue?
Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound is a viscoelastic damping compound that converts sound energy into a minute amount of heat. Very simply, when used between two rigid layers of material, typically drywall, the compound works to isolate the noise traveling from one room to the other.
