sound isolation clips

Product Overview

Description

        GOFAI Clip is designed to reduce sound transmissions from both airborne and impact noise in wood, steel or concrete construction for both interior walls and ceilings. The Clip system is used to attach gypsum wall board (GWB) for walls and ceilings that allows the GWB to float and absorb energy due to the resilient rubber isolators, causing an increase in the acoustic performance for both STC (airborne) and IIC (impact) ratings. Each Clip has a design load rating of 36 lbs. per isolator, the Clip can support up to two layers of 5/8" gypsum board when spaced no more than 24" x 48" on-center.

 

        GOFAI Clips and channels are used in the process of decoupling walls and/or ceilings from the joists, creating what is called a floating wall or ceiling. The benefits are twofold, firstly there is no direct connection for sound to travel via the joists as the wall/ceiling is disconnected. Secondly the wall and ceiling are given resiliency (flex) thus greatly reducing vibration (similar to shock springs on a car). The clip is designed for use with various framing designs and applications. The clip decouples the Gypsum Board from the framing in wall and floor ceiling assemblies. The clip has been acoustically tested, and adds 15 to 20 STC an IIC pts to your existing assemblies. Reducing the noise transfer by 75 to 100%.
