How to install Silent Floor upgrade | British Gypsum

How to install SIlent Floor.
Silent Floor creates noise separation between floors.
Silent Floor is perfect for New Build and Self Build properties, as well as loft conversions. The Silent Floor system uses Gypframe Resilient Bar and Gyproc SoundBloc. The system provides a higher performance than standard Building Regulations require.

What would be the name for the tool seen at 3:00, that raises the board up to where its needed?

[@ursulamarmion9727]

Hi is it 100mm insulation regardless of depth of joists?

[@caledonianbuildinglandscap4195]

Yes

Will this stop /eliminate the sound of kids running & jumping from apartment above you?

[@caramelamcphee8106]

Not really.

@@caramelamcphee8106 Are you officially with BritishGypsum?

[@Landofhopeandglory575]

Yes it will. I work for a national house builder in the UK and we fit resilient bars to ibeams and use only standard 15mm plasterboard,one sheet, not double boarded and we get great results. If you use soundproof board though be aware that it is heavy, 44 kg per board. Use a board lifter.

@@Landofhopeandglory575 Long shot of a reply after 3 years, but would you say resilient bar + standard sheet gives comparable results to lath and plaster when factoring in airborne noise?

[@charleswheeler3418]

no rockwool?

[@responsibleparty]

No, and apparently no rubber membrane or green glue between the layers of sheetrock. I didn't hear if the two layers of sheetrock were the same thickness. If so, you can stop different frequencies by using different thicknesses. And I would've also plastered and sealed the first layer of sheetrock before adding the second.

Where can I get that special drywall?

[@bolhico]

You should tape and plaster the first layer too!

[@SimmonsThomas.]

Pretty sure the manufacturer of the product knows how to use it mate

@Aurimas Didžiulis I did! Air tight

Forget to tell the guy to draw screw lines to fasten sheetrock. awful screw job.
