Georgia-Pacific and Quiet Solutions partner on new paperless drywall

Georgia-Pacific Gypsum LLC and Quiet Solution have partnered on a paperless soundproof drywall panel. The new product, QuietRock DensArmor Plus 528, combines the moisture and mold resistance, fire resistance, abuse resistance and low indoor air emissions of paperless DensArmor Plus wallboard, with the proven noise reduction of QuietRock, the leading soundproof drywall. A single layer of the new product on a single wood stud wall provides an STC rating of 50, a noise reduction of 75% compared to many other interior wall systems. QuietRock DensArmor Plus 528 is 5/8" thick, type-x equivalent, UL-classified, contains no metal inside the panel, and installs in the same manner as standard drywall. QuietRock DensArmor Plus 528 is an easy choice in green construction, and may contribute to LEED points. LEED for Schools recognizes the importance of good acoustics, and components of the panel have low indoor air emissions. This is consistent with Quiet Solution's emphasis on advanced materials for sustainable development. "This new panel provides a cost effective method of reducing noise and moisture related issues during the construction phase and throughout the life of the building" said Leo Bissonnette, general manager Densâ„¢ products for Georgia Pacific Gypsum LLC. "This product creates wall and ceiling assemblies that deliver higher performance while using less labor and materials. Quiet Solution's reputation for sound solutions and the reputation of Georgia-Pacific's paperless gypsum products provide a unique product in the marketplace." Quiet Solution's high quality soundproofing products have gained high ratings from professionals, customers and partners in the construction industry since 2002. As many have discovered, QuietRock provides the lowest total cost solution for noise reduction, even though the panels cost more than standard drywall; installation is easy. This enables quiet buildings, straightforward use by builders, and happy clients and homeowners.
