Resilient Channel (RC-2)

Accessories

OEG Resilient Channel (RC-2) is a double legged channel that is the most efficient and low cost solution to reduce the transmission of noise in partition walls and ceiling assemblies. By suspending the gypsum wallboard away from studs or joists with the help of Resilient Channels, sound transmission is dissipated. To enhance the sound insulation, sound attenuation blankets can be inserted within the wall or floor cavities. Resilient Channel knurled face makes it easy to screw onto boards. Resilient Channel is pre-punched for easy connection to wood and steel structural framing.

Resilient Channel (RC-2) comes in two variants, regular RC-2 and RC-2 Max. Regular RC-2 is manufactured using 25 gage (18 mils) steel and is primarily used in ceiling assemblies. RC-2 Max is manufactured using 20 gage (33 mils) steel and is primarily used in heavier framing applications like exterior curtain walls. RC-2 Max provides greater rigidity as compared to regular RC-2.
