IsoGrid is a quick-connect ceiling hanger with a neoprene isolation element for concrete, metal deck, and structural framing applications. Designed for isolated gypsum ceiling systems, it helps consultants and contractors achieve practical acoustic ceiling isolation while maximizing ceiling height in UAE, GCC, Middle East, and MENA projects.
Kinetics Noise Control Inc. Products
IsoGrid by Kinetics is a quick-connect ceiling hanger designed to resiliently support one or more layers of gypsum board from concrete, metal deck, or structural framing. It uses a neoprene isolation element to help create an isolated ceiling assembly for noise control applications in commercial, residential, hospitality, education, healthcare, and mixed-use buildings.
Quick-Connect Acoustic Ceiling Isolation
IsoGrid is developed for ceiling system isolation where project teams need a practical wire-tie installation method with reduced ceiling depth. The hanger supports gypsum board ceilings using either drywall ceiling grid or cold-rolled channel with drywall furring channel, making it suitable for contractors familiar with suspended ceiling framing systems.
Dual-Deflection Neoprene Design
The IsoGrid Quick-Connect Ceiling Hanger uses a specially designed dual-deflection neoprene isolator that allows internal bulging. This helps the neoprene element achieve greater deflection than similarly sized elements while maintaining lateral stability, supporting acoustic performance under design loads.
Installation and System Coordination
IsoGrid can be fastened directly to concrete using powder-actuated fasteners where loads and local code permit. Wire is tied to the bottom of the hanger bracket through built-in mounting holes, and the ceiling grid is then installed using cold-rolled channel, drywall furring channel, appropriate wire, anchors, and 1/2″ or 5/8″ gypsum board as required by the project design.
Acoustic Performance Support
Kinetics lists IsoGrid as a concrete ceiling hanger with neoprene isolation, 40–160 lb capacity, seismic zone capability A–B, wire-tie grid installation, tested STC 63, and tested IIC 50. The published sound test is based on a 6″ concrete slab with a 6″ airspace filled with R19 fiberglass batt, wire ties, cold-rolled channel, furring channel, and two layers of 5/8″ Type X gypsum board.
