The Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Brackets - 45mm Arm provide a reliable and affordable solution for soundproofing ceilings and walls. Designed to reduce vibration and sound transmission, these brackets deliver an 18dB noise reduction, making them ideal for residential, commercial, and refurbishment applications. With a minimal ceiling drop of 40mm to 60mm, the 45mm brackets offer a low-profile solution that is easy to install and highly effective.
What is an Acoustic Ceiling Bracket?
An acoustic ceiling bracket is a decoupling mechanism that isolates ceilings or walls from the structural framework to reduce noise transfer. The Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Bracket is equipped with a 45mm arm that accommodates 50x50mm battens or 50mm wide ceiling channels. By decoupling the ceiling or wall, these brackets prevent vibrations and sound from transferring directly between surfaces.
Key Features:
-
Designed for timber joist or concrete floor constructions.
-
Provides a ceiling drop of 40mm to 60mm.
-
Compatible with both new build and refurbishment projects.
- Suitable for use with mineral wool to further enhance acoustic performance.

How Does the Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Bracket Work?
The Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Bracket functions as an efficient decoupling mechanism, minimising sound transfer through the structure by:
- Isolating Vibrations:
-
The bracket includes an integrated acoustic pad that absorbs vibrations, preventing them from passing between the structural floor and the ceiling or wall.
- Creating a Decoupled Layer:
-
By supporting battens or ceiling channels, the bracket separates the ceiling from the floor above, breaking the path of sound transmission.
- Enhanced Acoustic Integrity:
-
When combined with mineral wool in the ceiling or wall void, these brackets further reduce sound transmission by an additional 1-2dB, ensuring superior acoustic performance.
How Effective Are the Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Brackets at Stopping Nuisance Noise?
Do Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Brackets Work? Yes, they deliver exceptional results. With an 18dB noise reduction, the brackets are significantly more effective than resilient bars or Type C hangers, offering:
-
Impact Noise Reduction: Diminishes vibrations caused by footsteps and impacts.
-
Airborne Noise Reduction: Isolates voices, music, and other airborne sounds.
-
Improved Acoustic Isolation: Their design ensures consistent and long-lasting performance, making them ideal for sensitive environments such as offices, classrooms, or apartments.
Where Can the Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Brackets Be Used?
These brackets are highly versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, including:
-
Residential Spaces: Ideal for reducing noise transmission between floors or rooms.
-
Commercial Environments: Perfect for offices, meeting rooms, and retail spaces.
-
Educational Facilities: Controls noise levels in classrooms and libraries.
-
Refurbishment Projects: An effective solution for upgrading existing ceilings and walls.
-
Stud or Brick Walls: Compatible with both stud partitions and solid wall constructions.
How to Install the Isosonic Acoustic Ceiling Brackets
The installation process is straightforward, making these brackets a convenient choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts:
- Plan and Measure:
-
Calculate the number of brackets required (approximately 2.5 brackets per m²) and mark their positions.
- Attach the Brackets:
-
Fix the brackets to the underside of the structural floor or the side of joists, ensuring proper spacing (no more than 800mm apart).
- Install Battens or Channels:
-
Fit 50x50mm timber battens or 50mm wide ceiling channels into the brackets securely.
- Add Acoustic Insulation:
-
For optimal performance, insert mineral wool into the ceiling or wall void.
- Fix the Plasterboard:
- Attach plasterboard to the battens or channels, ensuring all joints are sealed with an acoustic sealant to maintain soundproofing integrity.
