Description
AcoustiClip System for Soundproofing Concrete Ceilings
Use the AcoustiClip system to soundproof concrete ceilings against unwanted airborne and impact sounds. The system provides high mass materials that are decoupled from the concrete ceiling to offer excellent levels of noise reduction.
Reduce High Levels of Impact and Airborne Sounds using the AcosutiClip Concrete Ceiling System

Ensure the best levels of soundproofing by using product combinations
You will achieve the best level of sound insulation when you use a reliable soundproof system for your concrete ceilings. The right product combination will reduce both impact and airborne sounds through a concrete ceiling.
Combine the Acousticlip and Acoustichannel with acoustic insulation and soundproof plasterboard to stop sound through your ceilings.
Increase Mass
Increasing the mass of the area you are soundproofing will reduce airborne sounds such as TV noise and conversation.
Create Separation
Increasing the separation of the area will soundproof against impact and vibration sounds.
AcoustiClip Concrete Ceiling Detail

AcoustiClip Concrete Ceiling System Specification
- 25mm Acoustic insulation slabs between the AcoustiChannel, reducing sound resonating inside the ceiling cavity
- AcoustiClips and AcoustiChannel fitted directly into the concrete ceiling, reducing height loss when using standard timber battening
- Noisestop 1+ Panel an 18mm soundproof board that incorporates a 10kg mass loaded barrier mat and a 12.5mm soundboard plasterboard
- 15mm soundboard to improve the density of the ceiling system
AcoustiClip System Performance
- Airborne 64dB
- Impact 54dB

Spacing AcoustiClips on a Ceiling

The diagram shows the layer of mass loaded vinyl pre-bonded onto the acoustic plasterboard to form the Noisestop 1+ Panel. An alternative method of installing the boards would be first to fit the standard acoustic plasterboard and then overboard with the Noisestop 1+ Panel. The sheet of mass loaded vinyl is then between the two acoustic plasterboards. During sound tests, noise reduction is not dependent on where the vinyl layer is within the overall build-up.
Wall and Ceiling Soundproofing
Make sure you are getting the right soundproofing for your needs. Understanding the most common types of noise and how to stop them will help you decide on the right solution.
Different Types of Sound
- Airborne sounds – Conversation, TV noise and radios are examples of airborne sound. The best way to stop airborne sounds is to add mass/density to the walls or ceilings.
- Impact/vibration sounds – Footfall and moving furniture across a floor are examples of impact sounds. The best way to reduce these sounds is to create separation.
In summary, the best way to reduce airborne sounds is by increasing the mass of the area you would like to soundproof. Reducing impact/vibration sounds is achieved by creating separation within the structure.
Reducing Impact and Airborne Sounds
By following some of these steps, you will ensure you get the best level of soundproofing for your room.
- Mass/Density – Increasing the mass and density of the area you are soundproofing will block airborne sounds from transferring between rooms. You will increase the mass of walls and ceilings using materials such as soundproof panels and high-density acoustic insulation slabs.
- Separation – Incorporating separation within the structure will reduce vibration and impact sounds transferring between rooms. Achieve separation by building independent stud walls and ceilings. If you don’t have the space in the room, you can use acoustic clips and resilient channels to decouple the wall and ceiling.
- Absorption – Use materials that are going to absorb sounds. Acoustic insulation is suitable for sound absorption as it converts the sound waves into heat as it passes through the insulation. Dense mass loaded barriers will also dampen and absorb sound.
