  How to install Maxi 60 Ceiling Resilient Bars 3000mm

Installation typically involves spacing the bars at 300mm intervals across the ceiling joists, followed by securing the relevant plasterboard to them using screws. Follow this step by step information as a general guide:

1. Prepare the Ceiling Joists: Ensure that the ceiling joists are level and in optimal condition. Address any damaged joists by repairing or replacing them if necessary.
2. Mark Resilient Bar Positions: On the ceiling joists, mark the positions where the resilient bars will be placed. Maintain a consistent spacing of 300mm between the bars across the joists.
3. Secure Resilient Bars: Utilise 70mm x 5mm self-drilling screws to firmly attach the resilient bars to the ceiling joists. Make sure the bars are both level and securely fastened in place.
4. Install Plasterboard: Fix the plasterboard to the resilient bars using 30mm x 3.9mm screws. Ensure that the plasterboard is tightly and securely screwed onto the resilient bars.
5. Complete Ceiling Finish: After the plasterboard installation, complete the ceiling by addressing any gaps and proceeding with your preferred painting or decorative finish.

Follow these steps to achieve a well-prepared, sound-insulated and visually appealing ceiling installation.
