Noise reduction with treatment 26dB

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
