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.
Estimates use 48" o.c. clip spacing and 24" o.c. hat channel. A 10% buffer is recommended for corners and re-work.
STC Gauge
Compare how the A106R performs across assembly tiers. Select an assembly below to see the resulting STC score.
A106R + channel + MLV + double 5/8" drywall with Green Glue between layers, insulated joist ceiling.
- 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.
How A106R compares
| Model | Primary Use | Hat Channel | Typical Layout | Isolation Element |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A106Rthis | Low-profile ceiling-height retention clip | 25-gauge 7/8" | ≤ 48" o.c. clip · ≤ 24" o.c. hat | Resilient rubber (45 lb rated) |
| A96R | Adjustable resilient ceiling bracket | 25-gauge 7/8" | ≤ 48" o.c. clip · ≤ 24" o.c. hat | Resilient rubber (55 lb rated) |
