How to make vibrating hangers for drywall?

For residents of new buildings, apartments and houses, excellent audibility remains a huge problem. Only high-quality sound insulation will help to solve this global problem. The most important element of soundproofing structures is considered to be a vibro-suspension for drywall. However, not everyone knows how to properly make vykropodvesy. What is it, what types, subtleties of manufacturing and installation, let's understand.

Vibropodvesyu called bearing profile U-shaped, made of metal. On the crossbar of such a profile there is an elastic rubber component or an element of elastomer or rubber. This element, called vibration absorber, occupies an important place in the whole structure. It is he who does not allow contacting the bearing gypsum profile with the base itself (attachment point).

The main task of the plasterboard profile is the suppression of existing vibrations., as well as further reduction of various structural noises, which can emanate from a wall or a floor tile and be transmitted to the core of the structure itself. For this type of fastener, as for ordinary suspensions, they mount a rack profile (directly on the wall), while the ceiling carriers are mounted on the ceiling itself.

Vibration dampers are distinguished by several properties, including fasteners.

• By use. There are universal, ceiling and wall structures.
• In size. There are standard products for fixing to a 60-mm metal profile and economy for analogs with a width of only 47 mm.
• According to the selected raw materialstaken as the basis for the production of vibration-isolating component.

The leading position in the specialized market of vibration-damping suspensions is held by the manufacturer SoundGuard. The advantages of devices manufactured by this brand are called:

• high vibroacoustic ability that prevents various low-frequency noise transmissions;
• effective isolation of vibroconstruction;
• simple installation;
• versatility (most appliances are suitable for installation on walls, as well as suspended ceiling systems);
• moisture resistance and long service life.

Strength is called the most important characteristic of vibro-hangers, because only durable fixtures can withstand the construction of plasterboard. These elements allow the metal profile to keep a layer of putty on the ceiling along with soundproof material and gypsum plasterboard.

The second most important component is called noise isolation. Qualitatively installed suspensions are designed to suppress noise and smooth vibrations. This coefficient depends on the size of the thickness, as well as the related characteristics of the selected and used noise insulation material.

Vibropodvesy among other things, distinguished by the square of the sound-insulating material. A large square of such a base will allow for better isolation of vibration and extraneous sounds.In addition, they are distinguished by the number of holes that are created for fixation. If the frame of a specific suspension is made with one hole, the installation period will automatically be reduced by half.

U-shaped plates on vibro-hangers usually have several separate holes at once. This allows you to adjust the depth of the frame itself. You need to pay attention to the fact that all existing holes are sometimes different in size (depending on the manufacturer). There are manufacturers of suspensions that require the use of a certain type of screws.

Vibropodvesy if necessary, you can assemble yourself. It is necessary to prepare perforated plates of metal and soundproof material (porous rubber material). They are quite simple to assemble. Rubber rectangles are attached to the middle of the perforated plate from the bottom, and then on top. After that, the edges of the plate simply fold. The resulting suspension is ready for use.

You can only use 1 rubber layer, although practice has shown that these suspensions are not entirely effective.

Check the quality of the finished vibro-suspension with an ordinary bar. It is necessary to fix the device on a wooden bar, then the resulting construction should be hit, while observing the vibrations of U-shaped plates. The faster these vibrations begin to fade, the better the vibration-proof properties.

When repairs are made by hand, you have to adhere to and observe the specifics of installation. In order to mount the soundproof installation correctly, along with vibrating suspensions, several simple steps need to be consistently performed.

• It is necessary to measure the ceiling. For this kind of work, a building level is usually used, this is how the lower angle is determined. From the lowest section it is necessary to sustain a gap in order to lower the surface, taking into account the thickness of the noise insulation and fixtures.
• Mounted frame guides, pasted over with sealing tape, attaching to the ceiling.
• Next, you need to make a markup, which will suggest where the ceiling profiles will be placed together with suspensions and lintels.

• Then fix home-made or factory vibropodvods using dowel-nails.
• Next you need to lower the edges of the suspension.
• The profile carriers are inserted into the guides, then they are fixed by means of suspensions. This creates a jumper.
• Now you can lay soundproofing material on a frame basis.

After all the work done, you can begin to plaster the ceiling plasterboard. Wall type vibration isolation mounts set in the same way as ordinary direct acoustic suspensions. High-quality fixtures are used to create excellent sound insulation of the room during the installation of a plasterboard construction. To create an excellent sound insulation in the apartment, you can save on the vibration isolation of the ceiling and the wall can not be. Sound profiles must be laid under the profiles.
