British Gypsum Gypframe GAH2 Acoustic Hanger 70mm x 30mm

British Gypsum Gypframe GAH2 Acoustic Hanger 70mm x 30mm

British Gypsum Gypframe GAH2 Acoustic Hanger is a resilient metal hanger used in acoustic suspended ceiling systems. It is designed to help reduce noise transfer through timber joist ceilings by creating an acoustic break between the existing structure and the suspended MF ceiling framework.

The GAH2 hanger is commonly used with British Gypsum MF ceiling systems where improved acoustic isolation is required. It helps limit vibration transfer from the timber joist structure into the ceiling lining below, making it suitable for domestic, commercial and refurbishment soundproofing projects.

Use as part of a complete acoustic ceiling build-up with MF ceiling framework, acoustic mineral wool, acoustic plasterboard, acoustic sealant and correct perimeter detailing.

Typical Uses

British Gypsum Gypframe GAH2 Acoustic Hangers are commonly used in:

• Timber joist ceiling soundproofing

• MF suspended ceiling systems

• Separating floor and ceiling upgrades

• Flats and apartment noise reduction projects

• Domestic refurbishment work

• Commercial ceiling soundproofing

• Acoustic plasterboard ceiling systems

• Projects where reduced vibration transfer is required

How It Works

Noise and vibration can transfer through timber joists and into the ceiling lining below. The GAH2 Acoustic Hanger helps reduce this direct vibration path by introducing a resilient break between the joist structure and the suspended ceiling framework.

This separation can improve the acoustic performance of the overall ceiling system when combined with the correct framework, board layers, insulation and sealing.

Installation Notes

Install the Gypframe GAH2 Acoustic Hanger as part of the specified British Gypsum MF ceiling system or project ceiling design. Fixings, hanger centres, MF framework, board layers and insulation should be selected according to the required ceiling build-up and site conditions.

For best results, avoid rigid contact between the new ceiling lining and surrounding walls or structural elements. Use suitable perimeter detailing and acoustic sealant to reduce flanking noise paths and sound leakage.

Important Information

This product is an acoustic ceiling component and should not be treated as a complete soundproofing solution on its own. Final performance depends on the full ceiling system, including the existing structure, hanger layout, MF framework, acoustic mineral wool, plasterboard layers, sealing, workmanship and any flanking noise paths.

Always check the project specification and manufacturer guidance before installation.
