RC-1 Boost® - RC-1 Channel Enhancer

RC-1 Boost - Rubber Isolator for RC-1 Channel 

The RC-1 Boost is a cost-effective way to increase soundproofing performance, and also prevent common install issues with resilient channel. Not all resilient channel is created equal - either due to the quality of the channel or the quality of the install. The RC-1 Boost solves assemblies failing to hit their rated acoustical performance, and even increases performance by several points.

Features

• RC-1 Boost can be used with any wood or steel wall or ceiling assembly
• Increase STC and IIC ratings vs Generic RC-1 channel (STC 60+, IIC 54+)
• Supports up to 2 layers of 5/8" gypsum board
• RC-1 Boost Screw included (do not substitute)
• Large variety of UL rated design assemblies (1+ hour rated)
• Proudly made in the USA
