Believing That Elastic Connections Worsen Insulation (Stiffness YES \u2013 Rigid Fixings NO)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">One of the most common mistakes is confusing the concept of stiffness with the use of rigid fixings. Some people think that if connections are installed (even elastic ones), the system loses insulation. However, this is a misconception that compromises both the acoustic insulation and the overall safety of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">\ud83d\udd27 <strong><strong>The correct way:<\/strong><\/strong><br>Connections are necessary and essential in any effective acoustic system. But they must be elastic, such as SENOR dampers, specifically designed for each type of fixing (ceilings, Wall linings, partitions, or floors).

Systems must be robust and stable, but without compromising acoustic decoupling.
