Resilmount A106R
The Resilmount A106R is a ceiling-height retention clip engineered for retrofits and finished builds where every inch of headroom counts. Its slim profile keeps overall ceiling drop-down under 1-1/4" while still delivering the vibration isolation of a full resilient system.
- Height-preserving profile: Under 1-1/4" total drop-down protects overhead clearance in basements, retrofits, and low-ceiling multifamily units.
- Resilient rubber core: Same acoustic isolation grade as full-height Resilmount clips — no compromise on STC/IIC for the reduced form factor.
- Fast retrofit install: Screws through existing drywall or directly to joists — no double furring layer required.
- Compatible with standard channel: Accepts industry-standard 25-gauge 7/8" hat channel — no proprietary channel needed.

Adds MLV over Good for a denser limp-mass layer.
Estimated STC — Planning use only
This value is an approximate assembly projection, not a project-specific assessment, certified laboratory test result or performance guarantee. Actual performance varies with the complete assembly, installation, flanking paths, penetrations and site conditions.
Estimates use 48" o.c. clip spacing and 24" o.c. hat channel. A 10% buffer is recommended for corners and re-work.

- STC 30-39: Loud speech clearly audible next room.
- STC 40-49: Loud speech muffled — normal residential wall.
- STC 50-59: Loud speech barely audible; suitable for offices & multi-family.
- STC 60+: Approaches studio-grade isolation.
