Step 2
Snap appropriate hat channel into clips
Recommended hat channel
Size: 25 gauge hemmed edges
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 flexability while stopping sound from
transmitting through unsealed areas.
