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 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. The separation that the AcoustiClip provides will significantly reduce sound that would typically pass between rooms via vibration.
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

Fitting AcoustiClip & AcoustiChannel
Screw AcoustiClips into stud frames, ceiling joists or directly into solid walls and concrete ceilings.
Figure 1: Attach the channel to the clip by either pinching the metal channel into the clip or sliding the clips onto the channel before fitting the clips.
Figure 2: The AcoustiClip is fixed in place using a standard screw 55mm minimum length. If you are fitting to a surface that requires drilling, use standard brown wall plugs and screws.
Figure 3: Attach the boards to the AcoustiChannel with drywall screws. The screw should go into the AcoustiChannel by a minimum of 10mm.
Join lengths of AcoustiChannel by Overlapping them by 100mm and screwing them together with a drywall screw.
Fitting AcoustiClip to Walls
When fitting AcoustiClips and AcoustiChannels, maintain a maximum distance of 600mm between the channels, vertically up the wall. Similarly, along the length of the AcoustiChannel, ensure that the maximum distance between AcoustiClips does not exceed 1200mm.
The maximum distance from the floor to the first row should be no more than 75mm.
The maximum distance from the ceiling and the final row should be no more than 150mm.
Fitting AcoustiClip to Ceilings
When fitting AcoustiClips and AcoustiChannels, maintain a maximum distance of 600mm between the channels. Similarly, along the length of the AcoustiChannel, ensure that the maximum distance between AcoustiClips does not exceed 900mm.
For ceilings with timber joists, we suggest installing an AcoustiClip approximately every other joist along the joist length, ensuring a maximum distance of 600mm between the clips and 900mm along the channels.
The maximum distance from the wall to the AcoustiClip should be no more than 150mm.

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.
