TMS Silent Brackets - MBFR are adjustable furring channel clips used to decouple walls from the building structure to comply with sound isolation requirements for acoustic walls. They are geared to reduce airborne and structure-borne vibration in internal wall applications and provide an outstanding option for decoupling and leveling walls. It is a cost-effective solution for stopping sound in its tracks in homes, studios, offices, theatres and commercial applications.
MBFR Brackets are suitable for use with standard furring channels, 7/8" or 1 1/2". Installation is easy, simply fix brackets to the wall structure using minimum 8 gauge screw or masonry sleeve. They can be installed with screws, tapcons or a Hilti gun. MBFR Brackets have four adjustment options to adjust furring channels thus eliminating the need for packers. They can be installed on any type of wall substance with or without studs.
The simple and practical design of the brackets, make it the fixing of choice by many contractors for soundproofing as well as getting walls straight. The notches in the MBFR clip allow extra tolerance in the placement of furring channel so that the resulting wall will be even and unbowed, despite any issues in the position of the wall studs. They are suitable for decoupling virtually all types of wall applications while maintaining sound isolation properties.
For additional decoupling options, please see our TMS Silent Clips and Brackets.

How Many To Order:
Clips can be spaced up to 48" apart with spacing of up to 24" between channels. When using this spacing, divide the square footage of the area to be treated by 5. That will give a rough estimate of the amount of clips needed. In most cases you will need to compensate for being within 6" to walls/ceilings so we have found that calculating the square footage by 23% should get you close to the amount of clips needed. See Installation Tab above for layout diagram.
