RCSD 25 21 0.0221 1-1/2 12
Made of 21mil steel, RC Deluxe is one of the most 
eective, low-cost methods of improving sound 
transmission loss through wood and steel frame 
partitions. It is the preferred resilient channel in 
many applications because of its extra-wide 1-1/2" 
screw flange.
Resilient channel should be installed perpendicular 
to the framing members with the attachment flange 
of the RC Deluxe installed along the bottom edge. 
Channel is prepunched for screw attachments 
to wood or steel framing members. Nails are not 
recommended. 
Sound assemblies are certified by Western Electro-Acoustic Laboratories.
NVLAP accredited for ASTM E90 & E413, ISO Certified.
Additional test reports available through ClarkDietrich Technical Services.

RCUR 25 18 0.0188 1-1/4 12
Made of 25 gauge steel, RC-1 Pro is used as a cross-
furring member for resilient attachment of gypsum. 
Knurled face makes wallboard application easier.
Resilient channel should be installed perpendicular 
to the framing members with the attachment flange 
of the RC-1 Pro installed along the bottom edge. 
Channel is prepunched for screw attachments 
to wood or steel framing members. Nails are not 
recommended.

RC1 PRO RESILIENT CHANNEL
Resilient Channels for Walls and Ceilings
ClarkDietrich resilient channel is one of the most ecient low-
cost methods developed to reduce transmission of airborne sound 
through partition and ceiling assemblies. The resilient channel 
dampens sound waves eectively, dissipating the energy and 
reducing sound transmission by suspending gypsum wallboard 
1/2" from the stud or joist. Sound absorption can be maximized by 
utilizing sound attenuation blankets within the wall or floor cavity.
• Lab-certified STC-rated up to 61
• Single- and double-leg channels
• Choose from five channels; RC Deluxe™ has extra-
wide screw surface for easy attachment
• Available in 12' lengths
• Possible LEED
®
 benefits under IEQ9 due to increased 
STC values. For more information on our STC
