Soundproof Wall Solution 4
Genie Clip - Highest performance wall solutionsWhen soundproofing a wall it is necessary to improve three basic components. If you want to achieve outstanding performance for a soundproof wall simply click on the blue calculator below to obtain a quote for all the materials necessary to erect a Genie Clip soundproofed wall. ( Stud work not included) The Genie ClipFor those customers wanting to incorporate the highest performance materials into their soundproofing projects we introduce the Genie Clip solution. The Genie clip is a very high performance solution that provides the best single component we know when soundproofing a wall. The clip itself outperforms a resilient bar by around 7 db, an impressive amount.
The Genie clip is screwed direct to stud working the same manner that a resilient bar cling would be and it houses "furring strips". To these furring strips plasterboard is screwed.
The Genie Clip system is a superior alternative to the conventional resilient bar system producing better performance and is far less prone to fitting error. In fact its virtually impossible to fit incorrectly.
The Genie Clip is a moulded rubber and steel isolation clip used to to control the passage of noise. The integral springing mechanism providing much dampening than the corrugations of a resilient bar system. In fact performance numbers are superior even with a single layer of plasterboard potentially saving on materials cost and labour. It Significantly improves low frequency sound control performance and this is often the hardest frequency to cope with. Of all the resilient solutions that fix direct to joist it offers the best performance.
Important note on recessed lightsIf you are adding recessed spotlights in this ceiling you will need to add an acoustic fire retardant light hood to each light, otherwise your soundproofing efforts will be severely compromised due to the hole you have created. These can be purchased from our on-line store. Spotlight hoods
There is a lot to take in from the above table. However it is important to spend a few moments interpreting the figures 1) One of the most commonly misunderstood things regarding soundproofing is the performance of various materials. We try and give you the performance increase from an existing structure. In the above table we assume a brick wall ( or stud wall as in solution 5). When comparing competing products it is essential to understand what is there performance in a real world situation. Many products are rated 30, 40 even 50db. However once they are added to a wall this figure might drop to just 15db or 20db of improvement ( read more)
