With the highest assembly-tested STC ratings of any drywall product, the patent-pending QuietRock portfolio of acoustical panels exceeds expectations in producing a quiet environment.

  • Quiet Rock products have been thoroughly laboratory and field-tested with STC results ranging from 52 to 80, outperforming resilient channels
  • Quiet Rock products can be used like any other gypsum or drywall product, eliminating the need for expensive, difficult non-standard construction techniques
  • Quiet Rock offers a lower total cost than other soundproofing methods – (less labor for
    installation, re-work costs, materials, floorspace, and liability)
  • Quiet Rock cannot be ‘short-circuited’ like other methods,
    maintaining STC value even after customer hangs pictures, a bookcase, etc.
  • Quiet Rock is lab tested, fire-rated and field proven in thousands of projects
  • Quiet Rock is available in X, anti-mold, greenboard, blueboard, high impact and others
