The Soundbreaker Bar is a resilient metal channel that decouples plasterboard from timber joists or stud frames, dramatically improving wall and ceiling soundproofing. Its slim profile saves space, making it a popular choice for domestic soundproofing projects and for meeting Building Regulations Part E when paired with acoustic plasterboard. Use resilient bars to increase the isolation of the existing structure, reducing sound transfer between rooms. Resilient channels are suitable for creating Part E-compliant ceilings for new builds and conversion projects.

Soundbreaker Bar – Slimline Resilient Channel for Soundproofing
The 3m Soundbreaker Bar is a galvanised steel resilient channel designed to isolate plasterboard from timber stud walls and ceiling joists. By breaking the direct connection between structural elements, it significantly reduces the transfer of airborne and impact noise through floors and walls. Its lightweight, space-efficient profile makes it ideal for residential applications where maintaining room dimensions is essential. Often used in combination with acoustic plasterboard and insulation, Soundbreaker Bars form the foundation of high-performance soundproofing systems. Whether you’re upgrading an existing room or building a new partition, this easy-to-install solution is trusted by professionals and DIYers alike to enhance acoustic performance with minimal space loss.
