What is resilient channel size?

What is resilient channel size?

Resilient channel is available in 18 and 30 mil thicknesses (25-20ga.). Standard channel lengths are 12 foot long.

What is resilient channel in construction?

The resilient channel dampens sound waves effectively, 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.

What is resilient channel for?

One of the most effective low -cost methods for reducing sound transmission through walls and ceilings. Resilient Channel dampens sound waves effectively, dissipating the energy and reducing sound transmission by suspending the drywall = inch from the wall stud or floor joist.

Can you overlap resilient channel?

Resilient channels can cantilever a maximum of 6 inches. An option to the overlap would be to abut the adjacent channels over the same framing member, leaving a 1/16-inch gap between the channels. Additional channels should be installed on the wall framing if there will be wall cabinets.

How much does it cost to install a resilient channel?
