QuietZone Systems

• QuietZone Systems are for Noise Control
  applications
• Current family of products include
• QuietZone Acoustic Wall Framing
• QuietZone Acoustic Batts
• QuietZone Acoustic Sealant/Caulk
• QuietZone Acoustic Floor Mat

Why Do My Walls Sound So Bad?
Conduction through stud

• Noise causes standard wall constructions to
  vibrate, conduct, and radiate sound.

No Cavity Absorption
Radiated Sound Transmission
Noise Source
Noise build-up!
Note Noise will follow
the paths of least resistance.

How Does QuietZone Acoustic Framing Work?
Acoustic Caulk(No screw attachment top and
bottom.)
Effective Noise Control Incorporates 4 Important
Features
Structural Member
1. Continuous Barrier Gypsum Board with acoustic
caulking
Floating Resilient Member
2. Absorption QuietZone Acoustic Batts
QuietZone Acoustic Caulk
3. Vibration Break
4. Vibration Isolator Resilient Metal Clip

The Resilient Metal Clip
Much of the sound vibrations that pass through
stud walls are significantly reduced. As a
result, noise levels are also reduced .

Performance
QuietZone Acoustic Wall Framing
Conventional Wall
NoteA 10 point increase in the STC rating is
approximately equivalent to cutting the perceived
noise level in half. To find out the true
performance of the wall, we need to look at the
Transmission Losses across all frequencies.

Total System Value

• QuietZone Framing Wall System Performance
• No additional framing or drywall labor - installs
  like standard framing
• Dimensionally stable - solid, straight walls and
  fewer callbacks
• Environmentally friendly
• Cost Effective Sound Treatment
• Lower installed cost than alternative acoustic
  constructions
• Standard wall thickness - living space conserved
