Green Grue Noiseproofing Clips

Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips

If you're an architect or a home builder looking for an effective way to soundproof a room, look no further. Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips allow you to mechanically separate drywall from the wall's frame so that when sound hits the wall most of the sound does not transmit through to the other side.

Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips, previously known as QuietClips and WhisperClips, work better than older decoupling methods because of their fortified design. Other mechanical products like resilient channel often malfunction when screws hit a stud and create a short circuit, allowing noise to transfer.

Green Glue Noiseproofing clips are simple to install. Measuring and screwing in clips, followed by snapping in hat channel should not take more than a few hours for an average room.

Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips Specifications

Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips are designed to isolate mid to high frequencies and excellent at addressing impact noise. Installing Noiseproofing Clips can significantly reduce sound from voices, TVs, and radios from traveling through walls. When used in ceiling/floor installations, it works to reduce the sound of footsteps to the level below.

Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips eliminate the need for specialty drywall products, as well as complicated wall structures such as double stud or staggered stud assemblies.

Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips Installation Guide

Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips (Quiet Clips, Whisper Clips) are easy to install and require no outside assistance. You only need readily available hat channel, and a screw gun or power drill (a level and pen are also helpful).

Wall Installation Guide

NOTES
• Clips are spaced no further than 48 inches apart horizontally
• Hat channel must not be spaced more than 24 inches vertically
• Bottom clips must be less than 3 inches from the floor
• Top clips must be less than 6 inches from the ceiling

STEP 1 - INSTALL THE CLIPS
Measure for placement of Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips using layout guidelines listed in the Installation Notes.
Mark locations and install clips using appropriate screws.
Outermost clips must be spaced at every interval.

STEP 2 - INSTALL THE HAT CHANNEL Green Glue Clips Drywall Installation
Snap appropriate hat channel into clips.
Most walls will require you to overlap hat channel. Instructions for doing
so are as follows: Overlap 6 inches of hat channel between two clips.
Secure the hat channel with two 7/16” framing screws. 18 gauge tie-wire
can also be used.

STEP 3 - INSTALL THE DRYWALL
Place shims on the floor to allow spacing between the drywall and the flooring. This ensures decoupling from the floor to make it impossible for vibrations to travel from wall to floor and vice-verse.
Screw drywall in place through hat channel. Be sure drywall is fully installed before removing shims from underneath.

STEP 4 - SEAL THE PERIMETER
Use acoustical sealant to fill the gaps around the perimeter, and all gaps around electrical boxes, windows, and doors.

Ceiling Installation Guide Green Glue Clips Ceiling Installation Diagram
NOTES
• Clips are spaced no further than 48 inches apart along the length of the channel.
• Hat channel must not be spaced more than 24 inches apart.
• Clips along the perimeter must be less than 3 inches from the end joists.

STEP 1 - INSTALL THE CLIPS
Measure for placement of Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips using layout guidelines listed in the Installation Notes above.
Mark locations and install clips using appropriate screws to fasten the clips to the floor joists.
Outermost clips must be spaced at every interval.

STEP 2 - INSTALL THE FURRING CHANNEL
Snap 20 gauge hat channel into clips.
Many ceilings will require you to overlap hat channel. Instructions for doing so are as follows: Overlap 6 inches of hat channel between two clips.
Secure the hat channel with two 7/16” framing screws. 18 gauge tie-wire
can also be used.

STEP 3 - INSTALL THE DRYWALL
Have one person lift and hold the drywall in place. Have a second installer screw the drywall directly into the hat channel using a power drill.
Leave a 1/4" gap around the perimeter of the ceiling. This ensures decoupling from the wall to make it impossible for vibrations to travel from wall to floor and vice-verse.

STEP 4 - SEAL THE PERIMETER
Use acoustical sealant to fill the gaps around the perimeter of the ceiling, and around any lighting fixtures and vents.
