Green Glue Noiseproofing/Sound Isolation Whisper Clips - 10 Pack

Description

The Whisper Clip which is also known as the Green Glue Noiseproofing Clip was designed to be the highest performance sound isolation clip on the market, while remaining cost competitive.
How It Works:
Whisper 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. Decoupling the wall or ceiling helps prevent vibrations from traveling from one side of the structure to the other.
This break in the path greatly reduces the amount of noise that travels from one side to the other in two ways. 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 (flexibility), thus greatly reducing vibration (similar to shock springs on a car).
Product Features:
Whisper Clips are the highest performing resilient sound clips available on the market. Its patented design delivers decoupling and resilience that is unmatched by any other product. By decoupling the drywall from the ceiling and/or wall, Whisper Clips can achieve an astounding STC of 56 with just one layer of drywall.
Whisper Clips were designed with maximum low frequency sound isolation in mind, so walls fortified with whisper clips will eliminate the bass sounds most commonly found with home entertainment and theater systems. Whisper clips cannot be short circuited, unlike resilient clips, ensuring maximum sound absorption at all times. Whisper clips does not require special drywall; regular off the shelf product and readily available
Hat Channel
are all you need. Whisper Clips work better, last longer and cannot fail in a fire. No need for double stud or staggered stud,wall assemblies.
Installation is simple and affordable. An additional benefit of the Standard Whisper Clips is that you can apply the
Hat Channel
to the clips before screwing the clips into the studs.
How Many Do I Need?
You can space the clips up to 48" apart and up to 24" between the channels. When spaced that way, take the square footage of the area to be treated and divide by 5. That should give a rough estimate of the amount of clips needed. Usually you will be using some more to compensate for being within 6" to walls/ceilings so we have found that
calculating your square footage by 23% should get you close to the amount of clips you need
.
