Why Alternatives to Resilient Channels are on the Rise

Many of us learned about RC years ago and have used it. Firms were familiar with it, the product was available, and there were few alternatives. But architects, builders and contractors are increasingly dropping RC in favor of QuietRock, due to its simple installation, greater reliability and lower total cost. RC can fail to deliver adequate noise reduction if some is bent

when received at the jobsite, if instructions aren’t followed perfectly, or if occupants hang a picture by screwing into the studs. QuietRock, used like standard drywall, does the engineering for you and cannot be ‘short-circuited’.

Help for Projects that are Complete but Too Noisy

Windows Make
a Difference

Many projects come to us for help after they’ve been completed but are too noisy for new condo owners or building occupants. Most often, we see acoustic ‘short-circuits’; incomplete sealing; or use of a technique that is not up to the task, such as multiple layers of gypsum. Fortunately, QuietRock provides highly reliable remediation, that does not require expensive demolition.
