Resilient Sound Isolation Clips | IsoMax

Patent No. 7,093,814

Application

Designers wanting low-cost, space saving ceilings and walls that provide superior noise control employ Kinetics Model IsoMax resilient sound isolation clips. Model IsoMax, attached to ceiling joists, wall studs, or masonry, simply and easily secures drywall furring channel. One or more layers of gypsum board are hung to the furring channel using common construction practices. Offering higher STC values than drywall attached to
resilient channel, Model IsoMax ensures that installers will not inadvertently screw through the "resilient" leg of the channel into the joist or stud. This feature cannot be underestimated given the frequent, unknown occurrences where resilient channel is accidentally rendered ineffective because it is hard-attached.

Benefits

• Best performance for the fewest dollars spent to build noise control ceilings and walls
  Save Labor with IsoMax
• Effective sound control at low installed cost
• Error free installation of standard drywall furring channel; maximizes available occupied space
• Low-profile design
• Weight capacity - 45 - 60 lbs. maximum, see installation guidelines
• Performance range of STC 57 to STC 64 per laboratory tests; a better solution vs.
  resilient channel
• Exclusive UL Design L583 offers 1-hour fire rating for typical wood-framed floor/ceiling composites
