GenieClip Soundproofing - How it works
To gain the maximum performance, when soundproofing a wall, you should attempt to create an independent wall structure that sits in front of the wall you are attempting to soundproof. Lining this wall with GenieClips as your resilient layer will afford the best level of soundproofing performance that we know of. (Click on Diagram to enlarge)
The key to the superior performance of Clips is the high quality rubber mounting that is integral to the GenieClip. Countless studies point to the enhanced soundproofing performance of rubber over other sound dampeners.
Creating the independence of the wall, even if it is just a few millimetres, can make a significant difference to the end result. If, however, you are unable to make the wall independent you can screw battens to the wall and then add the genie system direct to this. The end result, while not quite as good as an independent wall, will produce an improvement within the 20dB range. If space is at an absolute premium, the solution can be fixed direct to the party wall. Again the acoustic performance will be less. Please see the table and schematic below. Creating a stud wall is simpler than you might think, see our fitting guide on this page for further details. We also offer an SBX upgrade for those looking to absolutely maximise performance.
A number of options for party wall soundproofing are available. From the very slim line stick on solutions to the thicker and more effective independent stud structures. We are frequently asked if resilient bars or GenieClips can be added direct to a party wall to save space. Please see our GenieClip direct to wall page for more information

Solution Reviews
Quality ProductWe were called to install the Genie system into our clients property. We have had experience with installing resilient bars and MF celings. The Genie product was simple to attach to the exisiting soffit and we found it easy to put up. Very happy with the speed of install and it seemed to us foolproof. We have had issues with reilient bars in the past. The one small drawback was the face of the furring strip which is smaller than the MF ceilings we are used to . This meant you had to be careful to cut the plasterboards carefully so that they meet in the middle. The client was happy with the overall result and so we can recommend the sytem. |

Good ProductThis was a good product. The geine clip looked like the best of the "resilient systems" out there. We had wanted the long length furring strips which were advertised on Soundstops website but were told we were out of the area they could supply. This was not clear! However we worked fine with the channels we received. The ceiling boards were very heavy and I would go for a ceiling plasterbaord lifter if I did it again. The end result is good. Everything is much more muffeld int he way of impact sound , so not sharp and intrusive like it was. The airborne sound is very much reduced and so we only hear them now when they crank up the volume ofn the stereo. So all in all a good product. |
