Description
AcoustiClip Stud Wall System is our highest performing wall soundproofing system for internal stud walls. It provides excellent reduction against airborne noise as well as reducing vibration through the stud partition wall. The acoustic insulation inside the stud frame will absorb sound and ensure it does not resonate inside the void. The AcoustiClip is fixed to the stud frame and absorbs any vibration through the structure, reducing the energy that transfers the sound through solid structures. The AcoustiChannel clips into the AcoustiClip to allow the final layers of the wall to be installed. The Noisestop 1+ Panel and the 15mm Soundblock plasterboard is screwed into the AcoustiChannel. This soundproofing system will stop high levels of audible sound and vibration from transferring through walls.
Soundproof systems will effectively block higher levels of noise than any individual soundproofing product. Combining various products into soundproof systems ensures a higher reduction across a broader range of frequencies, ultimately stopping higher airborne sounds and vibration levels.
AcoustiClip Stud Wall System Specifications
- System thickness 77mm (from the stud frame)
- Fire rating one hour
- Noise reduction 61dB
- Reduce high levels of airborne sounds and vibration through your walls
- Apply onto stud partition walls
- Part E compliant solution for separating walls
Noise reduction and decibels – A three dB increase is equivalent to halving the level of sound. The higher the value for the airborne sound the better the product performs. The lower the stated figure for impact sound the better the product performs. Read the decibels explained guide for more help.
AcoustiClip Stud Wall System is used in various applications that require high levels of sound reduction. Use this solution in domestic and commercial applications; use this system to soundproof music studios, cinema rooms, and venues such as bars and restaurants. Install this system in your home if you require soundproofing.
Composition of AcoustiClip Stud Wall System
These materials are supplied with the AcoustiClip Stud Wall System
- Incorporate AcoustiClip Stud Wall System onto a timber stud frame.
- Fill the cavity of the stud frame with the DFM acoustic insulation slabs to reduce sound resonating inside the void
- AcoustiClips increase separation within the new structure reducing vibration from one room to another
- The AcoustiChannel fits into the AcoustiClips to ensure isolation from the stud frame and the new wall
- The Noisestop 1+ Panel incorporates soundblock plasterboard with a 10kg mass loaded vinyl mat, all pre-bonded to make installing quicker and easier than other self-adhesive methods
- 15mm Acoustic plasterboard then goes over the first layer to further increase the mass of the wall
- Acoustic sealant ensures an airtight seal
NOTE – The isolation strips and acoustic putty pads are not supplied as part of the system, these can be bought separately.
If space allows, always build a soundproof wall without connection to the existing wall. A small gap of 10mm is sufficient to reduce the transfer of sound through any physical links. Attaching your new stud frame to the ceiling, floor and return walls will help to minimise points of contact directly into the wall.
Fitting AcoustiClip Stud Wall System
- Incorporate AcoustiClip Stud Wall System onto a timber stud frame. If you are building a new stud wall, isolate the top and bottom with Noisestop Isolation Strips
- Fill the cavity of the stud frame with the DFM acoustic insulation slabs to reduce sound resonating inside the void
- Screw the AcoustiClip into the stud frame. Space the clips vertically at 600mm centres with a row of clips 75mm bottom of the wall and 150mm from the top. 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
- Screw the Noisestop 1+ Panel into the AcoustiChannel and then the final layer of 15mm Soundblock plasterboard over the top. Leave a 2-3mm gap around the perimeter of the wall to reduce noise transfer into the adjoining walls, ceilings and floors
- Acoustic sealant is applied between each panel and to the perimeter of the wall to ensure an airtight seal
- If you are reinstating electrical outlets, use acoustic putty pads inside the back boxes
How to space the AcoustiClip and AcoustiChannel onto a wall
NOTE ON FLANKING SOUND – Before installing any soundproofing system, you should consider any flanking paths for the sound. These are areas around the wall that sound will bypass the soundproofing and enter the room. The most common flanking course for sounds would be above or below the wall, which would be through a floor or ceiling cavity. If these areas are constructed from timber joists, you should consider filling the void above or below the area with DFM acoustic insulation to stop potential flanking noise.
