How does QuietRock compare to regular drywall?
How does QuietRock compare to regular drywall?
- Look at how QuietRock compares to a typical interior wall constructed with conventional drywall: One layer 1/2-inch QuietRock® 510 gypsum panel applied vertically on each side of 2 x 4 wood studs. Glass fiber insulation (3 1/2-inch thick) is installed in the stud space.
What is the STC rating of QuietRock 545 insulation?
- Using the same insulation but with 3-5/8” steel studs at 24” centers instead, and the STC climbs to 55 and 56 respectively. QuietRock 545 on a single stud wall has an STC rating of 56. Decoupling the wall with a double-thick stud wall and 545 takes the value to 75.
Does QuietRock really reduce noise?
- QuietRock claims to be the “lowest cost noise reduction wall panel on the market.” By just using a single sheet of it you are guaranteed a soundproof wall. And these wall panels are easy to install too, as they can be cut just like standard drywall panels with a utility knife.
