WALL TIES AND WALL MOUNTS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Acoustic wall ties are often used for the correct acoustic isolation premises. The use of these devices optimizes the acoustic insulation of the suspended ceiling. For this purpose, the stiffness of the acoustic hanger and the impedance of the elastic material play a key role. The installation of a suspended ceiling with acoustic hangers is another part of the solution that must be done correctly to achieve the optimum acoustic insulation results.
EP-500+Sylomer®.
EP+Sylomer® wall ties.
The installation of vertical wall beams using the EP + Sylomer® provides reliable and robust acoustic isolation. These EP+Sylomer® wall ties are manufactured in various formats to suit a variety of construction techniques.

| FIG A: Installation between the wall and the vertical metallic beam using EP 400+Sylomer® wall ties. First, secure the tie to the wall using fixing studs. Next, join the pre-drilled metallic section of the EP 400 +Sylomer® to the vertical beam. Then fix the plasterboard layer(s) to the beam. |
 |
| FIG B: Installation between pairs of vertical beams using EP 400+Sylomer® Installation is as described above except use self-tapping screws to fix the wall-tie to one beam. |
FIG C, Example:
This system is suitable for walls greater than 3.5m in height. To calculate the required number of EP+Sylomer® wall ties, the following guidelines apply:
- Use one EP+Sylomer® wall-tie per 1.5m vertical height.
- For a wall height of 4.5m, 2 wall-ties should be used; at 1.5m and 3m.
- For a wall height of 7.5m, 4 wall-ties should be used at: at 1.5m, 3m, 4.5m and 6m.
