Estimating
🖩 Calculator Tool
The number of resilient clips needed varies based on the weight of the assembly. While a clip system can support multiple drywall layers, it’s important not to exceed the acoustic load capacity of each clip. For precise calculations, try our resilient sound clip calculator, which estimates based on the specific dimensions of each wall or ceiling partition.

The Clark Dietrich Sound Isolation Clip (CDSC) is used to fasten drywall / gypsum wallboard in numerous wall and floor applications while reducing airborne sound transferring from room to room. The Clark Dietrich Sound Clip adds notable STC points to create a sound isolated environment. The CDSC clip is designed for Wood, Steel, and Concrete and is complies to UL 263 test standards.
When combined with Hat Channels, the Clark Dietrich CDSC decouples walls and/or ceilings from joists, creating a “floating” wall or ceiling. Decoupling the wall or ceiling helps limit sound transmission by breaking the path of the sound and creating resiliency- reducing vibration on the joists and through the walls.

How Many To Order:
It is recommended for the CDSC clips to be spaced up to 48" apart with spacing of up to 24" between the furring channels. If using this spacing, simply divide the square footage of the area by 5. In most cases you will need to compensate for being within 6" to walls/ceilings. Take the above number and multiply by 1.23 (123%). This should provide a good estimate to the number of CDSC clips needed.
