GenieClip System

When it comes to soundproofing a ceiling it is essential you consider the two parts that make up nuisance sound. They are impact and airborne sound.
The GenieClip® ceiling is the best performing suspended ceiling system available from both an airborne and impact sound perspective (see comparison table). A suspended ceiling is where you are attaching the sound proof system to the existing joists.
In performance terms it is far superior to a resilient bar system (see the comparison below) and second only to a full independent ceiling. This extra performance derives from the much higher level of resilience that is manifest within the GenieClip structure, the vibration of sound transmission being absorbed better with rubber than with the metal of resilient bars. In effect the mass of the new soundproofing surface that you are adding is much better isolated than is the case with resilient bars.
The GenieClip ceiling can be fitted either by retaining the original ceiling, or removing the existing ceiling plasterboards.
We recommend you retain the existing ceiling if it is made of lathe and plaster due to its inherent soundproof qualities. Where you retain your existing ceiling 50mm easyfit slab is prescribed ( higher density wool will not fit).
Where there is a single 12.5mm plasterboard you can remove this. Removing the existing ceiling is often desirable where ceiling height is an issue and you wish to maximise the amount of headroom. Where you remove the ceiling 100mm AMW60 will be prescribed.
We also offer an SBX upgrade which will meaningfully improve the airborne soundproofing.

Solution Reviews
Ceiling Installation - very straightforwardI installed a full sound proof solution including Genie clips, furring channels, Rockwool, 19mm Plank, Tecsound 50 and 12.5mm Soundbloc onto a ceiling. The Genie clips and furring channels were good quality easy to fit. Although the room is not yet finished I can already notice the benefit in terms of noise reduction. Jim at Soundstop was very helpful and I will be back again when the time comes for doing the next room. |
