Description
AcoustiClip is a high performing acoustic clip system that offers excellent levels of noise reduction when installed as part of a soundproofing system for walls and ceilings. Attach the clips to timber studs, ceiling joists, or directly onto concrete ceilings and brick walls to effectively reduce vibration through the structure, reducing the overall noise level that would typically transfer through the building.
Apply the AcoustiClip to walls and ceilings to isolate the new wall or ceiling from the existing structure. A sound that would typically pass between rooms via vibration will be significantly reduced due to the Separation that the AcoustiClip provides.
Soundproof your home with the AcoustiClip acoustic hanger as part of your soundproofing system against noisy neighbours. Rooms that require even higher levels of soundproofing such as music rooms and studios should incorporate the AcoustiClip onto a stud wall system for even better levels of noise control
AcoustiClip Specifications
- Size 35mm wide x 28mm deep x 138mm long
- Dual rubber fixings points ensure a more secure fixing
- Dual rubber acts as a shock absorber to reduce vibration
Fitting AcoustiClip
Screw AcoustiClips onto stud frames, ceiling joists or directly into solid walls and concrete ceilings.
- AcoustiClip are either fixed before inserting the metal channel or slid onto the AcoustiChannel before fixing to the wall or ceiling
- Pinch the bridge of the AcoustiChannel at the end and slide into position
- AcoustiClip screws into place with suitable screws for the background through the circular inserts at either end of the clip
- Join the channel by overlapping them to 100mm and screw together
- Apply soundproof boarding into the AcoustiChannel using suitable self-drilling screws that are at least 10mm deeper than the boarding you are using
Walls – Isolate the soundproof boarding with an isolation strip along the floor. Install a clip at the end of each run of AcoustiChannel.
Ceilings – Ensure the AcoustiClip are installed within 150mm of the ceiling perimeter and at the end of the bar length. The first row and the last row should be within a maximum of 150mm from the wall.
Fitting AcoustiClip to Walls
Timber Stud Frames
- AcoustiClip every 1.2m horizontally (based on studs at 600mm centres, every other stud)
- AcoustiClip every 600mm vertically (Fix the AcoustiClips with a maximum gap of 150mm from the ceiling and 75mm from the floor)
Solid Walls
- AcoustiClip every 1.2m horizontally
- AcoustiClip every 600mm vertically (Fix the AcoustiClips with a maximum gap of 150mm from the ceiling and 75mm from the floor)
Fitting AcoustiClip to Ceilings
Timber Joist Ceilings 400-450mm joist centres
- 900mm maximum between AcoustiClip (every other joist)
- 600mm spacing between the AcoustiChannel
Concrete Ceilings
- 900mm maximum between AcoustiClip (every other joist)
- 600mm spacing between the AcoustiChannel
Once the AcoustiClips is installed, push the AcoustiChannel into the clips to continue installing your soundproof wall or ceiling.

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 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 or 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.
