Cut down footstep noise from upstairs neighbours.
The Gypframe SIF1 Floor Channel is an insulated metal 'top-hat' channel that reduces impact noise through timber separating floors.
The constant noise of footsteps from above can be a nightmare in flats and apartments. This channel helps prevent it by isolating the upstairs walking surface from the main floor structure.
A key component of the GypFloor Silent system, the channels are simply laid on top of timber joists, up to 63mm wide, before the walking surface is fitted. They include a special neoprene isolator and side flanges to support the Gyproc Plank that is installed between the joists, adding mass for extra noise reduction.
