+MuteClip centres to vary betwen 600 and 1200m centres creating a Diamond conguration.
• Attach MuteClip Channels into MuteClips, channels should run horizontally.
+MuteClip Channels must overlap by 200mm, x 4 self-tapping screws into the shoulders of the MuteClip
Channels to give a secure join.
• MuteClip Channels should not overlap on a MuteClip.
• Fix your rst layer of Acoustic Plasterboard to the MuteClip Channels.
+Acoustic Plasterboard must not be in direct contact with any adjacent surfaces. There should be a 2-5mm gap
around the perimeter of the surface.
• Seal the perimeter and any other gaps with Acoustic Sealant.
• Adhere Tecsound to the Acoustic Plasterboard using Tecsound’s self-adhesive backing.
+It may be easier to cut Tecsound into manageable sized pieces for ease of installation.
• Fix your second layer of Acoustic Plasterboard, stagger the joist from the rst layer, making sure that the screws go
into the MuteClip Channels.
+Again, leave a 2-5mm gap around the perimeter of the room.
• Seal the perimeter and any other gaps with Acoustic Sealant.
• Scrim tape all joins and nish with a skim plaster.
