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.
