(5th Dec - 7th Dec)
AcoustiClip Direct has the highest noise reduction of all direct-to-wall soundproof solutions. This party wall soundproofing system is our recommended solution against noisy neighbours without compromising living space when good sound insulation levels are required. When applied to an existing wall or 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 tapered edge 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.

It achieves high noise reduction against most household noises without compromising living space. It is our recommended solution for soundproofing your walls with a direct-to-wall application. The AcoustiClip Direct System will restore quiet back to your home. These soundproof kits offer great value as they are discounted compared to buying the materials individually.
Our most effective direct-to-wall soundproofing solution, the AcoustiClip Direct System, fits straight to the wall without needing an additional stud frame. With an impressive noise reduction level of 63dB when applied to a brick wall, this solution is suitable for homeowners with noisy neighbours who must keep space loss to a minimum.
All AcoustiClip soundproof systems combine products with high mass, excellent sound absorption, and the decoupling effect of the AcoustiClip.

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.

Untreated brick wall DnT,w
Single skin 100mm brick wall 38db
Treated brick wall DnT,w
AcoustiClipDirect System applied 63dB
Improvement DnT,w
Noise reduction with treatment 25dB
Note: Every 10 decibels(dB) reduction in noise level is roughly perceived as a halving of the perceived loudness. For instance, if a sound measures 70dB and decreases to 60dB, it would sound about half as loud to the human ear. Decibels explained.
- Screw the AcoustiClip directly onto the masonry or brick wall, and use the AcoustiClip Fixing Kit for masonry and brick walls. Space the clips vertically at 600mm centres with a row of clips 100 mm from the bottom of the wall and 150mm from the ceiling. The clips should be no more than 1200mm apart horizontally (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.
- Infill the cavity with 25mm DFM acoustic insulation between the AcoustiChannel.
- Using 25mm drywall screws, attach the first layer of the 15mm acoustic plasterboard. Leave a 2-3mm gap around the wall’s perimeter to reduce noise transfer into the adjoining walls, ceilings and floors.
- Using 50mm drywall screws, attach the Noisestop 1+ Panel over the first layer sandwiching the acoustic membrane between the boards. Leave a 2-3mm gap around the wall’s perimeter to reduce noise transfer into the adjoining walls, ceilings and floors.
- Acoustic sealant is applied around the edge of each panel and the perimeter of the wall to ensure an airtight seal.
- If you are reinstating electrical outlets, use acoustic putty pads inside the back boxes.
Spacing AcoustiClips
Horizontally – Fix an AcoustiClip at the start and end of each row. AcoustiClips are spaced at a maximum of 1200mm centres along the AcoustiChannel.
Vertically – AcoustiClips are fitted a maximum of 600mm horizontally, 100mm from the floor and 150mm from the ceiling.
