Green Glue Noiseproofing Clip layout
(1) Clips are spaced no further than 48 inches apart horizontally
(2) Hat channel must not be spaced more than 24 inches vertically

Step 1
Measure for placement of Green Glue Noiseproofing Clips using layout guidelines listed above. Mark locations and install clips using appropriate screws.
Recommended screws by stud type
| Wood | Use #8 x 2-1/2” coarse thread screws |
| Steel | Use #8, 10 or 12 x 1-5/8” T ype S self-tapping screws |
| Concrete | Use 3/16” dia x 2-1/4” T apcon or equal anchor Screw |
Outermost clips must be placed at every interval to support the ends of the hat channel
Step 2
Snap appropriate hat channel into clips
Recommended hat channel
| Walls | 25 gauge hemmed edges |
| Ceilings | 22 gauge |
| Depth | 7/8” |
| Width Top | 1 ¼” |
| Width Bottom | 2 ½” |
Most walls will require you to overlap hat channel, instructions for doing so are as follows. Overlap 6 inches of hat channel between two clips. Secure the hat channel with two 7/16” framing screws. 18 gauge tie-wire can also be used.
Step 3
Place shims on the floor to allow spacing between the drywall and the flooring. This ensures decoupling from the floor to make it impossible for vibrations to travel from wall to floor and vice-verse.
Screw drywall in place through hat channel. Be sure drywall is fully installed before removing shims from underneath.
Step 4
Be sure to use an acoustical sealant to fill gaps around electrical boxes, windows, doors, and areas below or above sheets of drywall. Green Glue Noiseproofing Sealant is perfect for this application as it allows flexibility while stopping sound from transmitting through unsealed areas.
