Sound Isolation Clips for Superior Soundproofing
Whether you are busy with a new multistory unit or remodeling an existing one, soundproofing in buildings is becoming exceedingly important. With our resilient sound isolation clips, you can create a more comfortable and private space that all occupants will enjoy.
What Are Sound Isolation Clips?
Sound isolation clips are used in walls and ceilings to isolate and reduce noise. The metal component is screwed into the framing and the rubber acts as a barrier to block excess sounds. The clips provide superior noise and vibration isolation and are suitable for various-sized rooms and areas.
Common Applications
Most buildings with multiple people, like universities and hospitals, use sound isolation clips. Some typical applications include the following:
- Commercial buildings, like banks and firms
- Multifamily housing, for shared accommodation
- Theaters, including movie and live theaters
- Studio sets
- Offices, like law firms and accounting businesses
- Schools, including colleges and universities
- Health care facilities, including large hospitals and smaller clinics
- High-end residential applications, for theater rooms or home libraries
How Sound Isolation Clips Work
Sound isolation clips separate drywall from the framing, making it more difficult for sounds to travel from one section or room to another. This decoupling process separates walls and ceilings from the existing building’s structure, breaking the journey of sound and vibrations.
Sound isolation clips for ceilings and walls both achieve superior performance when rated for impact insulation class (IIC) and sound transmission class (STC), making them valuable additions for effective noise control in shared buildings.
Types of Sound Isolation Clips and Materials
There are various types of sound isolation clips and materials, and the right one for you depends on your project type and needs. You can also choose isolation clips for ceilings or walls, while some varieties can be used for both.
Take a look at some of the most widely used sound isolation clips and materials:
- Resilient sound isolation clips (RSICs): These clips are attached to the studs and support the drywall, decoupling the structures. You can use them on various types of materials.
- Resilmount™: Resilmount offers various sound isolation clips for walls and ceilings. They provide robust sound isolation and come in clips and supporting hangers. Resilmount clips can also be used on steel, wood and concrete.
Most sound isolation clips are made of steel, which provides durable fastening, and rubber. The rubber is sometimes combined with isolating materials like silicone, proprietary rubber or engineered thermoplastic rubber.
Benefits of Sound Isolation Clips
As sound isolation clips are designed to reduce noise, they contribute to the well-being and health of building occupants, whether in accommodation, work or school settings. They also provide:
- Easy installation.
- Building codes and standards compliance.
- Superior noise reduction.
- Enhanced indoor living.
- Long-term building value.
