Isocheck Isobar (26mm deep x 78mm wide x 1800mm long) is a high performance resilient bar made from galvanised steel used to provide superior noise control in ceilings, floors and walls.

High performance sound reduction system Isocheck Isobar and Isoblock is designed to offer a more robust alternative to a standard resilient bar with similar low profile features.

The Isocheck Isoblock and Isobar system comprises a vibration absorbing steel channel which is secured to studs and joists with isolation blocks.

Attaching the isolation block to ceiling joists, timber and metal studs simply and easily secures the Isobar furring channel and decouples the gypsum board from the structure.

The resulting construction provides a resilient isolation solution to enhance or construct separating and partition walls and ceilings.

The Isoblock and Isobar system is suitable for enhancing separating ceilings, floors and walls in new build, refurbishment and conversion projects.

Isocheck Isoblocks simply attach to ceiling joists, wall studs, or masonry and easily secure the Isobar furring channel.

One or more layers of gypsum board are hung to this channel using good construction practices offering consistent high values than standard resilient bars.

Isocheck Isoblock ensures that installers are unable to inadvertently bridge the ‘resilient’ leg of the channel into the joist or stud.

Isocheck Isobar Acoustic Resilient Bar Installation Guidelines:

 · The Isocheck Isoblock and Isobar system is designed to carry a Isobar furring channel with one or more layers of gypsum wallboard attached.

 · Spacing of Isoblocks on the furring channel should be at maximum of 1200mm centres.

 · Spacing between Isobar furring channels range from 600mm to 1200mm.

 · All gaps around service outlets, window or door frames should be sealed with Isocheck FR acoustic sealant.

 · Isoblocks may either be affixed before inserting the Isobar or slid onto the Isobar before fixing to the joist, wall, etc.

 · Quickest installation is often achieved by pinching the Isobar bridge slightly at its end, so that the Isoblocks can slide easily into position.

 · Fix the Isoblocks with suitable screws, through the circular metal inserts on each end.

 · Care should be taken not to crush the rubber impact absorbers by over torquing the screws.

 · An ideal setting is mid range so as to just make the walls of the red absorber bushes move slightly.

 · Once secured, overlap bars by approximately 100mm and screw or wire together.

 · Affix Isowave 23 or appropriate plasterboard to the Isobars with screws suitable for self drilling into a metal stud system at least 10 to 15mm beyond its collective depth.

 · When using multiple layers of board, increase the screws in length to compensate for the depth.

 · Never allow fixings to exceed the depth of construction, thus causing “bridging” to occur, as this will negatively affect acoustic isolation performance.

 · Isobar Installation Tips for Walls - the first row of gypsum wallboard sheets at the bottom of the wall shall be installed with the long dimension supported on 5mm thick Isolation Strip.

 · Isobar Installation Tips for Ceilings - the acoustic Isoblocks should be within 150mm of the ceiling perimeter at the end of the Isobar length.

 · The first row of bar at the ceiling perimeter should be a maximum of 150mm from the wall.

 · Furring channels are installed perpendicular to any framing members.

 · If in doubt in any area, please call Isomass prior to commencement of work.
