GenieClip™ US Patent No. 7,895,803
2 pliteq
Engineered for superior acoustical performance in reducing the transmission of airborne and impact sound through wall and floor/ceiling assemblies. The GenieClip™ is a unibody molded rubber and galvanized steel mount used to attach Gypsum Wallboard (GWB) to either wall or floor/ceiling assemblies. Made from recycled components, and engineered to allow reduction in assembly weight, the GenieClip™ contributes to LEED certified building.
About us Pliteq is an engineering company dedicated to providing creative solutions to structural, vibration, and sound control problems using recycled materials. Using elastomer technology and intellectual property, high performance solutions are researched, developed and rigorously tested for the engineer.
It’s not magic, it’s engineering.™

The GenieClip™ is easy and fast to install using standard steel furring channel and is extremely stable when held in place with a single fastener. There is nothing to adjust or site fit. The furring channel is simply snapped into the GenieClip™ and the Gypsum Wallboard (GWB) can be immediately installed.
vs.
• Only one screw required to attach metal clip to wood or metal wall studs or floor joists
• Engage standard 25 gauge drywall furring channel into either claw, then squeeze channel to engage the claw

NOTE: Resilient channel failure is a common observation by Acoustical Engineers. Short circuited resilient channel results in up to a 10 STC point reduction.LoVerde, J., & Dong, W. (2009). Quantitative comparisons of resilient channel designs and installation methods.
• Increase IIC by 8-12 dB in floor ceiling retrofit assemblies• Increase STC by 12-18 dB in wall retrofit assemblies• Retrofit directly to existing ceiling or wall• Greater STC than other popular retrofit solutions
