(5th Dec - 7th Dec)
The AcoustiClip Timber Joist Ceiling System is the top choice for effective sound insulation in ceilings with timber joists. Making it ideal for blocking out loud neighbour noise or for rooms requiring high sound insulation levels. When applied to an existing ceiling, the system decouples, adds mass/density, and increases sound absorption. The AcoustiClip and channel reduce vibration sound transfer, and the acoustic insulation slabs add mass and sound absorption to block airborne sounds. Complete the soundproof system with two layers of soundproof boarding, adding more mass and sound absorption. The innovative Noisestop 1 Plus Panel 18mm incorporates soundproof plasterboard laminated to a sheet of 10kg mass-loaded vinyl and a 15mm soundproof plasterboard, which is denser than standard plasterboard. Tubes of acoustic sealant are also supplied when ordering the system. Buy a soundproofing system and save on buying the products individually.

AcoustiClip Timber Ceiling System combines products that reduce airborne and vibration sound through timber joist ceilings. The AcoustiClip absorbs impact/vibration sounds that transmit through the joist. Acoustic insulation reduces sound resonating inside the ceiling joist and increases its mass. Two layers of soundproof plasterboards, one layer pre-laminated with mass-loaded vinyl for extra absorption, further increase the ceiling’s density. The AcoustiClip Timber Ceiling System provides the best noise reduction levels without building a secondary independent ceiling. These soundproof kits offer great value as they are discounted compared to buying the materials individually.
The AcoustiClip Timber Ceiling System offers the highest level of noise reduction in your home. The system minimises airborne and impact sound transmission through timber joist ceilings. Combining the AcosutiClips for decoupling and isolating the ceiling with high-mass and sound-absorbing materials, this soundproof system effectively restores quiet to your home.
All AcoustiClip soundproof systems combine products with high mass, excellent sound absorption, and the decoupling effect of the AcoustiClip. The acoustic kits include the AcoustiClip and AcoustiChannel, acoustic insulation slabs, two layers of soundproof panels, a 15mm soundproof plasterboard, denser than standard board, and the 18mm Noisestop 1 Plus Panel. This panel features a 10kg mass-loaded vinyl acoustic membrane pre-bonded to the acoustic plasterboard. Additionally, the systems include acoustic sealant tubes to ensure effective acoustic sealing of the boards.

Note: Every 10 decibels(dB) reduction in noise level is roughly perceived as a halving of the perceived loudness. So, for instance, if you have a sound that measures 70dB and it decreases to 60dB, it would sound about half as loud to the human ear. Decibels Explained.
- Remove the existing ceiling to expose the ceiling joist.
- Fill the cavity between the joists with the 100mm DFM acoustic insulation slabs. If cut larger than the opening, the acoustic slabs will friction fit.
- Screw the AcoustiClip into the ceiling joists. Space the clips across the joists to a maximum of 900mm (every other joist) and 150mm from the edge of the wall. The maximum space between the AcoustiChannel should be no more than 600mm (see the diagram below)
- Clip the AcoustiChannel into the clips, join the lengths of the channel by overlapping them by 100mm and screwing them together with self-tapping or drywall screws.
- Screw the 15mm soundboard into the AcoustChannel using 25mm self-drilling screws and then the Noisestop 1 Plus Panel 18mm over the first layer using 50mm self-drilling screws. Leave a 2-3mm gap around the ceiling’s perimeter to reduce noise transfer into the adjoining walls.
- Acoustic sealant is applied between each of the acoustic panels and to the perimeter of the ceiling to ensure an airtight seal.
- Finish the system the way you would finish standard plasterboard. The panels are supplied with tapered edges, which allows for dry lining or plastering.
Spacing the AcoustiClip & AcoustiChannel
- Maximum 600mm centers between the AcoustiChannel
- Maximum 900mm centres between AcoustiClips along the AcoustiChannel
- Maximum 150mm from the centre of the AcoustiChannel and the wall
- Ensure the end of the AcoustiChannel does not contact the wall
