Ceiling System VT-CBC

The Vibratec VT-CBC Ceiling System is an acoustic ceiling designed and optimized for rehearsal rooms, music studios, theaters, cinemas, residential buildings, restaurants, offices etc.

Product Characteristics

The VT-CBC Crossbar Ceiling is a double frame ceiling system with click-on hangers and profiles designed to optimize the sound isolation of suspended ceilings. The system comprises of VT-CBC hangers, click-on crossbars and C-profile rails. Depending on required resonance frequency the VT-CBC hangers can be delivered with Regufoam pads in thickness 25 mm, 37 mm or 50 mm.

The VT-CBC Ceiling System is a very flexible system beacuse of the two layers of frameing. If heating, ventilation or other installations require the hangers to be spaced differently in certain areas, this will not affect the spacing between the secondary frameing. This results in quicker and easier installation of gypsum boards. This is illustrated in the image with the green arrows and the animation below.

Product Applications

An acoustic ceiling designed and optimized for:

rehearsal rooms
music studios
theaters
cinemas
residential buildings
restaurants
offices and more.

For lighter ceilings see our Ceiling System VT-SFC. For lower resonance frequency see our Ceiling system VT-MSH.

Installation Guidelines

The hangers are mechanically fixed via threaded rod to the ceiling with c/c-distances G and P and clicked into the crossbars. Secondary profiles with c/c-distance S are clicked onto the crossbars. Plasterboard can then be fixed on to the rails.

Our self adhesive elastic strip VT-Strip should be used to isolate the suspended ceiling from surrounding walls to avoid undermining the acoustic integrity of the ceiling.

Mineral wool should be used in the air void to absorb possible standing waves in the void.

Vibratec supplies soundproofing solutions to Filmstaden in Uppsala

Constructing movie theaters with cinema halls side-by-side requires efficient sound isolation, which can be a challenging task. Each cinema must be built as a “floating box,” completely separate from the structure, using a “room-in-room” or “box-in-box” solution.
