ICW by Kinetics is a wood-frame ceiling hanger engineered for ceiling system isolation in wood-framed construction. It is especially useful where noise from the floor or unit above is difficult to control and treatment from the floor side is not possible.
Designed for acoustic ceiling isolation, Kinetics ICW helps reduce low-frequency airborne noise and impact noise while maintaining valuable ceiling height. The system is suitable for projects where consultants, acoustic specialists, contractors, and developers require practical sound isolation without major structural modification.
ICW is used with isolated ceiling assemblies incorporating ceiling hangers, cold-rolled channel, drywall furring channel, gypsum board, fiberglass insulation, perimeter isolation components, and resilient sealant where specified. Kinetics provides supporting resources including drawings, BIM objects, testing results, submittal documents, installation guidelines, and selection guidelines for project coordination. Tested wood-frame assemblies using ICW include STC, IIC, FSTC, FIIC, and NIC acoustic ratings depending on the complete floor-ceiling construction.
For residential, hospitality, mixed-use, and private cinema projects in the Middle East, ICW offers a reliable solution for improving acoustic comfort where footfall noise, neighbor noise, and floor-ceiling sound transmission are key design concerns.
