Hat spring rail

Top-hat spring rails for direct mounting of plasterboard or gypsum fiberboards. Especially for improving airborne and structure-borne sound insulation under wooden beam ceilings and sloping roof cladding.

Description and installation instructions

In general, the general processing instructions for wooden parts must be observed before mounting the DIN Rail No. 5007.

The profiles are divided into mounting distances of ≤ 500 mm depending on the type of planking. It must be ensured that the load per fixing point (2 screws) does not exceed 0.12 kN (12 kg). For larger beam distances, the mounting distances must be reduced. At the wall connection, the U-connection profile No. 5244 can be provided as a mounting aid.

The top hat rail No. 5007 is always installed crosswise to the beams, screwed to each wooden beam with 2 screws.

General remarks

When planning and installing ceiling linings, sloping roof linings or suspended ceilings on new or when renovating old wooden components/wood beams, the following instructions must be observed:

• Wooden components/wooden beams/wooden beams can bend, twist (partly swerve) due to equal and uneven loading, e.g. snow load (roof), wind suction or pressure load, furniture, access by users/residents, heavy floor constructions.
• The mentioned movements in the wooden construction can be introduced and transferred statically and/or dynamically into the secondary construction (ceiling linings, suspended ceilings), which can lead to the rubbing together of metal parts of the substructure and to deformation of the substructure in connection with noise generation.
• The above-mentioned aspects are to be taken into account in the planning and execution by means of suitable measures in the choice of the suspended ceiling system or in the strengthening, stiffening and transverse stiffening of the primary structure.
• Appropriate measures include Transverse bracing of the primary wooden structure using suitable aids (wood or metal bracing in conjunction with appropriate fasteners), strengthening of the primary wooden structure using additional beams, installation/assembly of suspended ceilings or cladding only after completion of load-inducing new heavy floor structures, non-positive attachment of suspension systems directly to the wooden beams in the course of renovation work; any remaining old ceilings may have to be cut out at certain points, formation of sliding connections to adjacent components in order to avoid constraint.
• No liability can be assumed for the functioning and interaction of the primary and secondary construction.
