The KINETICS® AF Fiberglass Ceiling Isolation Hanger is an engineered wire-tie acoustic isolator designed to reduce sound and vibration transmission through suspended ceiling systems. It creates a resilient acoustic break between the ceiling assembly and the building structure, helping minimise structure-borne noise in acoustically sensitive spaces.
Suitable for acoustic ceiling tile, gypsum board and plaster ceiling systems, the AF hanger uses a permanently resilient fiberglass isolation element with a zinc-plated metal assembly. AF ceiling isolation hangers are available in AF-100 and AF-200 configurations to accommodate different suspended ceiling loads.
Kinetics Group supplies AF ceiling isolation hangers and engineered noise and vibration control solutions for consultant-specified, contractor-installed and architectural acoustic projects throughout the UAE, GCC, Middle East and MENA region.

KINETICS® AF Fiberglass Ceiling Isolation Hanger is an engineered wire-tie acoustic isolator designed to reduce sound and vibration transmission through suspended ceiling systems. It creates a resilient acoustic break between the ceiling assembly and the building structure, helping minimise structure-borne noise in acoustically sensitive spaces.
Suitable for acoustic ceiling tile, gypsum board and plaster ceiling systems, the AF hanger uses a permanently resilient fiberglass isolation element combined with a zinc-plated metal assembly. AF ceiling isolation hangers are available in AF-100 and AF-200 configurations to accommodate different suspended ceiling loads and acoustic requirements.

KINETICS® Model AF is a fiberglass wire-tie ceiling isolation hanger designed to reduce sound and vibration transmission through suspended acoustic tile, gypsum board and plaster ceilings. Available as AF-100 and AF-200, the hanger creates a resilient acoustic break between the ceiling and building structure. Kinetics Group supplies AF ceiling isolation systems for projects throughout the UAE, GCC, Middle East and MENA region.
The KINETICS® Model AF is a fiberglass wire-tie ceiling isolation hanger developed specifically for acoustically isolated suspended ceilings.
Unlike conventional spring hangers commonly used to suspend mechanical equipment, ductwork and piping, the AF hanger is designed to acoustically decouple ceiling systems from the supporting building structure.
Its resilient fiberglass isolation element helps interrupt the transmission path for structure-borne vibration and sound, making the AF suitable for projects where suspended ceilings form an important part of the architectural acoustic design.
The system can be used with lightweight acoustic ceiling tiles as well as heavier gypsum board and plaster ceiling constructions.
For additional manufacturer information, refer to the KINETICS® Model AF Fiberglass Pad Wire-Tie Hanger.
AF-100 is designed for approximately 20–100 lb / 9–46 kg supported loads and is typically used for lightweight suspended acoustic ceiling systems.
AF-200 is designed for approximately 50–200 lb / 23–91 kg supported loads and is suitable for heavier gypsum board and plaster ceiling constructions.
Final hanger selection should be based on the calculated ceiling load, hanger spacing, project acoustic requirements and approved technical submittal.
Suspended ceilings can become a transmission path for structure-borne sound when the ceiling system is rigidly connected to the building structure.
The KINETICS® AF hanger introduces a resilient fiberglass isolation element between the suspended ceiling and its structural support. This acoustic break helps reduce the transfer of vibration from the structure into the ceiling assembly.
For high-performance acoustic ceilings, isolation must be maintained throughout the complete ceiling system. Rigid connections around walls, structural elements, ducts, pipes, lighting systems and other penetrations can create acoustic bridges that reduce the effectiveness of the isolated ceiling.
AF hangers should therefore be incorporated into a properly engineered ceiling isolation system with appropriate perimeter isolation and acoustic detailing.

Yes. AF ceiling isolation hangers can be used to resiliently suspend gypsum board ceiling systems where improved acoustic isolation from the building structure is required.
No. AF hangers are specifically designed for suspended ceiling acoustic isolation. Conventional spring hangers are generally used for vibration isolation of mechanical equipment, piping and ductwork.
Ceiling isolation helps reduce structure-borne vibration and sound transmission by introducing a resilient break between the ceiling assembly and the supporting building structure.

AF hangers can also help control ceiling vibration and high-frequency buzzing where transformers, chillers or other building services introduce vibration into the surrounding building structure.
KINETICS® AF Ceiling Isolation Hangers should be installed in accordance with the approved project drawings, acoustic specification and manufacturer installation requirements.
The isolated ceiling should remain resiliently separated from non-isolated structural elements wherever required by the acoustic design. Ceiling hangers must be correctly loaded and distributed to maintain consistent isolation performance throughout the suspended ceiling.
Perimeter conditions and service penetrations should also be treated carefully to prevent rigid acoustic short-circuiting between the isolated ceiling and surrounding structure.
Project-specific installation drawings, specifications and technical documentation should be reviewed before installation.
