Use on a ceiling or wall to recess the furring channel into the cavity and reduce the overall profile of the RSIC acoustical isolation system to as little as 1/2”. RSIC-1 Clips and channels are used in the process of decoupling walls and/or ceilings from the joists, creating what is called a floating wall or ceiling. The benefits are twofold, firstly there is no direct connection for sound to travel via the joists as the wall/ceiling is disconnected. Secondly the wall and ceiling are given resiliency (flex) thus greatly reducing vibration (similar to shock springs on a car). The RSIC-1 is designed for use with various framing designs and applications. The RSIC-1 decouples the Gypsum Board from the framing in wall and floor ceiling assemblies. The RSIC-1 has been acoustically tested, and adds 15 to 20 STC an IIC pts to your existing assemblies. Reducing the noise transfer by 75 to 100%.
