Hat Channels, also known as Metal Furring Channel provide a high-level soundproofing option for decoupling framing from drywall when used in conjunction with our resilient clips as part of a resilient isolation system. For an in depth explanation on decoupling, visit our Decoupling Explained article.
Our premium high quality Hat Channels are custom cut to 8.5' in order to allow easy and quick shipping to our customers. Be sure to overlap channels by 6" and screw them together with self-drilling sheet metal screws. These channels are .25 Gauge with hemmed edges. They are designed to easily hold 2 layers of 5/8 drywall and can safely hold 3 layers. They are perfect for use with our RSIC, TMS Silent Clips and Whisper Clips.
Price is per bundle of 20 hat channels.
To figure out how many channels you need. Calculate your square footage times 7 percent. E.g. for 1,000 square feet you will need approximately 70 channels.
[Large orders in the Tri State NY area please call our office for option of ten or twelve foot channels and special pricing].
Installation: Use self tapping drill point screws to screw drywall back to channel.
