1 It s not magic, it s engineering. Impact and Airborne Sound Control GenieClip US Patent No. 7,895,803

GenieClip An innovative, and reliable sound solution Engineered for superior acoustical performance in reducing the transmission of airborne and impact sound through wall and floor/ceiling assemblies.

2 GenieClip An innovative, and reliable sound solution 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. For downloads, visit pliteq.com Here s what s available on our website: Over 60 UL certified Assemblies Over 150 independent laboratory and field test reports Installation instructions Complete laboratory test reports and field data Technical papers Performance comparisons Cost analysis Case studies Private website for engineers LEED information and carbon footprint analysis Technical binder request Local Sales support in U.S., U.K., Canada, Middle East and Southeast Asia 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. 2 PLITEQ

Engineered to work The GenieClip is easy and fast to install using standard steel

joists Engage standard 25 gauge drywall furring channel into either claw, then

1 5/8" Resilient Channel Resilient channel is commonly short circuited Resilient

3 Engineered to work 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. 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 Engineered to be foolproof VS. 1 5/8" Resilient Channel Resilient channel is commonly short circuited Resilient Channel Crushed GenieClip GenieClip is impossible to short circuit Engineered to improve transmission loss Low Frequency Performance Wood Truss Comparison 1 layer of GWB on each side GENIECLIP 3
