Serenity RC
Serenity-RC is a premium product and the most cost effective solution for reducing the transmission of airborne sound through walls and ceilings. By separating the drywall from the stud flange, the channel minimizes the direct path by which sound travels through the framing.
SCAFCO’s Serenity-RC was professionally sound tested at Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories, one of the leading and longest-standing acoustical testing facilities in the United States. Acoustical testing for the STC performance of Serenity-RC proved the product’s ability to provide high-end sound performance for both steel and wood framed assemblies, well above other high-end RC products available.
Profile Features
Serenity-RC has been engineered, with help from the acoustical community, to include the following features that reduce sound transmission through the assembly.
Slot and Hole Pattern
- 1¼” x 5/16″ Slots
- 3/16″ (#8 Screw) Holes
- Slots and holes are aligned to increase the path that sound must travel through the assembly
- 2” Slot spacing along the channel allows for wall and ceiling framing at almost any spacing conditions including the typical 12” o.c, 16” o.c, and 24” o.c
Stiffening Ribs
- 1/16″ Raise stiffening ribs
- Creates separation and air space between sheathing and framing stud
- Only 2 points of contact between sheathing and framing stud, decreases area for sound transmission
Serenity Knurling
- Stiffens attachment flange to create gap between sheathing
- Aids in positive screw attachment through thin acoustical steel profile
