Homeowners Get New Way to Knock Out Noise Between Rooms
QuietRock 516 Soundproof Drywall is The Only Product ‘Tuned’ for Single-Family Homes
May 30, 2007: SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Quiet Solution announced today a new product to help families sleep easier, and knock out noise from their teenager’s stereos, spouse’s home theater or their laundry room. QuietRock 516 provides the lowest-cost soundproofing solution for single-family residences and takes its place as the seventh member of the world’s best-selling family of soundproof drywall products.
The product, premiering this week at PCBC, one of the nation’s largest building shows, was voted one
of the top 10 Coolest Products by a panel of 7,000 builders, architects, real estate professionals, marketing experts and other building industry leaders attending PCBC.
“QuietRock 516 has been designed specifically to deliver spectacular noise reduction performance on
16-inch-on-center wood stud construction…and 16-inch construction is how many single-family homes are built,” said Steve Weiss, vice president of marketing for Quiet Solution. “This ½-inch thick drywall replacement takes out 70 percent of the noise heard between rooms – reducing the blare of a stereo down to ‘library quiet’ in the next room.”
The product is a problem-solver and lifestyle-enhancer for millions, like composite decking or insulated glass windows. According to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, new single-family residences are being started at a rate of more than 1.2 million per year. This product is also easily used for remodeling in scores of millions of existing single-family residences.
“Like our other Quiet-brand soundproofing products, our new QuietRock 516 makes it easy, low cost
and reliable to get the noise reduction customers demand,” said Weiss. “We’ve applied our science and technology to tackle the acoustic challenges that come with 16-inch construction. The result is a product that outperforms any other product on 16-inch centered studs and is particularly welcome to homeowners and their contractors.”
Other QuietRock models include the lowest-cost on the market 510, the 525 for lowest-cost multi-family party walls that meet code; the 527, designed specifically for UltraSTEEL studs and endorsed
by Dietrich Metal Framing; and the highest-performance, THX-certified 545THX.
The new product is made using specially engineered thin dense panel layers along with Quiet Solution’s proprietary viscoelastic polymer technology. The result is a panel that is engineered and tuned to work best on 16-inch construction. QuietRock 516 hangs and finishes like standard drywall, making it exceptionally easy to use. A single sheet delivers the same noise reduction as eight sheets of standard gypsum.
Quiet Solution’s high quality soundproofing products, in volume production since 2002, have gained
the highest ratings from professionals, customers and partners in the construction industry. A key advantage of using Quiet Solution’s breakthrough soundproofing products is the high level of noise reduction combined with ease of installation at the lowest cost. This enables quiet buildings, straightforward use by builders, and ultimately happy clients and homeowners.
