Resilient Channel

    Resilient ChannelResilient channel provides a ½” offset between gypsum board and wall studs or ceiling rafters, enhancing acoustical performance and achieving higher STC ratings in wall and floor-ceiling assemblies. RC1 and RC2 have 1 ¼” attachment flanges, while RC Super has a 1 ½” flange.

    Resilient Channel

    RC-1 Single Leg Resilient Channel
    Super Stud's' RC1 Premier™ will enhance the STC rating of your metal or wood framing project. Used as a cross-furring member, RC-1 is installed perpendicular to the framing members. Pre-punched for easy attachment with holes 2” O.C. Screws should be used to attach RC -1 to metal or wood framing as nailing is not recommended. See chart below for testing data.

    RC Super™ Single Leg Resilient Channel
    Super Stud RC Super will enhance the STC rating of your metal or wood framing project. Used as a cross-furring member, RC Super is installed perpendicular to the framing members. Pre-punched for easy attachment with holes 2” O.C. Screws should be used to attach RC Super to metal or wood framing as nailing is not recommended.

    RC-2 Double Leg Resilient Channel
    Super Stud RC-2 is typically used for ceiling applications with multiple layers of gypsum board. It also enhances the STC rating of your metal or wood framing project. Used as a cross-furring member, RC-2 is installed perpendicular to the framing members. Pre-punched for easy attachment with holes 2” O.C. Screws should be used to attach RC -2 to metal or wood framing as nailing is not recommended.
