Decoupling is the most effective method for achieving sound isolation in ceilings. When properly installed, a high-quality resilient ceiling isolation clip dramatically reduces airborne noise, structure-borne vibration, and impact footfall sound transmission. Among the many options available, the GenieClip® system stands out for its proven performance and extensive testing. Certified results for STC, OITC, IIC, and UL fire ratings confirm why the GenieClip® RST is considered the best standard ceiling isolation clip for both residential and commercial soundproofing projects.
Purpose Of GenieClip® C3
The Pliteq GenieClip® C3 is specifically engineered for installations below cold-rolled channel, providing exceptional acoustic isolation in both wall and floor/ceiling assemblies. This high-performance sound isolation clip effectively reduces the transmission of airborne noise and impact vibration, helping create quieter, more comfortable spaces.
Designed for superior sound control, the GenieClip® C3 features a unibody molded rubber and steel construction combined with a custom-formed wire suspension clip. This durable and precise design ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance in demanding applications.
Ideal for multifamily housing, high-rise developments, studios, schools, and commercial buildings, the GenieClip® C3 is the professional choice when maximum acoustic performance is required in floor/ceiling isolation systems.
Maximize the performance of the GenieClip® C3 system by adding resilience to the floor above. We recommend the use of GenieMat® RST02 for a low-cost high-performance underlayment. This will increase the IIC rating by at least 6 IIC points and the STC rating by at least 2-3 points.
Installation
No fastener is required to install the GenieClip® C3. Simply hook the steel bracket attached to the GenieClip® C3. The standard spacing from clip to clip is a maximum of 48" with each row of clips spaced either 24" or 16" from each other.

Estimating
The number of resilient sound isolation clips required for your project depends on the total weight of the wall or ceiling assembly. While a properly designed clip system can support multiple layers of drywall, it’s important not to exceed the acoustic load capacity of each clip to maintain optimal performance. For precise estimating, use our Resilient Sound Clip Calculator. This tool calculates the recommended quantity and spacing of clips based on the dimensions of each wall or ceiling partition, helping ensure both structural integrity and acoustic efficiency in your installation.
