An MF ceiling partition to be used with existing frameworks to acoustically isolate and de-couple systems and materials. Providing excellent reductions in both airborne and impact sound in order to pass Part-E of Building Regulations.
The iKoustic MF ceiling system utilizes the MuteClip MP acoustic hangar, this allows for excellent acoustic de-coupling of dropped ceilings. When used with the system provides a good reduction in both impact and airborne sound transmission.
The MuteClip MP is designed to de-couple ceiling systems from the buildings structure. These brackets can be used in place of the standard metal soffit cleat. The MuteClip MP separates the lower rigid materials from the building structure. These are attached through and into the soffit using a suitable concrete fixing. The MF ceiling can then be installed below, the support angles attaching to the MuteClip MP bracket. Within the ceiling system 50mm of 60kg/m³ acoustic wool should be installed across the channels covering the entire area of the ceiling. Finally, two layers of acoustic plasterboard with the joins staggered are installed to the underside of the channels, finished around the perimeter with acoustic sealant. The performance of the system can be further upgraded by installing Tecsound between the two plasterboards to help further de-couple rigid layers and help reduce vibration.

The system can be installed with a range of underlays for the floor above to suit performance, build up and floor finish requirements. This can be done using our MuteMat OSF 750 range of crumb rubber underlays, these can take most floor finishes directly however get in touch with us to confirm the floor finish requirements and we can specify a suitable underlay for your project. The estimated impact performace with the MuteMat OSF underlay range is as follows:
Material | Thickness (mm) | dB L'nT,w |
MuteMat OSF 750 - 10 | 10 | 48 |
MuteMat OSF 750 - 05 | 5 | 50 |
MuteMat OSF 750 - 03 | 3 | 52 |
