Acoustic clip for MF5

Description

Acoustic Clip for MF5 are heavy-duty, low-profile decoupling brackets designed to isolate drywall grids in soundproof walls and suspended ceilings. They utilize premium Sylomer® polyurethane cores to break the physical connection between structural frameworks and plasterboard layers. This gives them empirically measured & defined loading, deflection and natural frequency metrics which allows for superior acoustic performance over standard rubber type units.

MF5 Furring Channel: A standard “top-hat” shaped metal section used to build rigid grid systems for plasterboard ceilings and walls.
Decoupling: Unfastening structural components to prevent sound vibrations from traveling through solid walls and ceilings.

Key Features

Space-Saving Design: Slim profile preserves maximum head height in ceilings and minimizes footprint loss in narrow rooms.
Fail-Safe Construction: Rugged metal parts provide an overload-proof, structural safety link required for fire-resistance and shock-loading.
Quick Installation: Mounts instantly using a single central fastener. The MF5 metal track snaps directly into the clip and can be locked with two self-tapping screws for maximum security.
European Manufacture: Entirely sourced and engineered in Europe to guarantee authentic, laboratory-tested performance metrics, outlasting standard rubber alternatives.Noise and vibration is decoupled by the use of Sylomer®, a proven material that provides exceptional acoustic results and unrivaled long term durability. The metal components provide an overload-proof and fail safe design, factors which are particularly important where resistance to fire or shock is necessary.

Certified Laboratory Test Build

Acoustically proven by SRL Lab test data, these clips deliver dramatic drops in impact and airborne noise when used in the following structural layout:

18mm OSB structural subfloor decking.
235mm x 50mm solid timber joists positioned at 450mm centres.
100mm Knauf Earthwool insulation placed between the joists.
Acoustic Clip 15 spaced at 450mm intervals.
Double-layer of 15mm Knauf Soundshield Plus plasterboard attached to the MF5 grid.

Installation Variations

Direct Fix: Fastened straight into flat timber or concrete substrates using a central anchor.
Close-to-Joist Fixing: Available with an optional 44mm x 100mm x 50mm (3mm thick) steel ‘L’ bracket. This accessory allows the clip to be anchored tightly against the side face of the joists to save maximum ceiling depth.
