QuietPutty® is a moldable soundproofing putty designed to maintain the performance of acoustically rated walls with penetrations such as electrical outlets, HVAC ducts, water hookups, and cables
QuietPutty® is a moldable putty, so no tools are required for application. Simply adhere the putty manually to back of outlet box or target area. Ideal areas of application include electrical outlet boxes, phone outlet boxes, electrical switches, and plumbing hookups.
QuietRock® is installed just like standard drywall and can directly replace traditional noise damping techniques such as resilient channels, soundboard and mass-loaded vinyl. QuietRock 500 offers reliable performance with just a single ½” layer.
QuietRock® 500 offers a simple installation – screw directly to the studs or install over existing drywall. No demolition required.For detailed instructions, click here.
QuietSeal® is a non-hardening, acoustical sealant engineered to prevent sound leakage in partitions. QuietSeal achieves specified Sound Transmission Class values (STC) in drywall and plaster wall systems by sealing around any gaps in wall or ceiling application.
QuietSeal® can be applied to drywall, concrete, plaster, steel, wood and aluminum surfaces without priming to help maintain acoustic performance in your assembly.

Before attempting to remodel your walls or floor, it is important to assess the situation to try to identify what type of sound is being transmitted and and the major cause of it.
Sound which travels through the air before reaching a partition, such as voices, TV or stereo sounds. The source does not strike or vibrate against the structure of the building.
Sound that is transmitted through the structure. Usually generated when an object that is connected to the structure vibrates and generates noise such as elevators and washing machines.
Sound that is caused by an object striking the structure of the building, such as footsteps and cabinet or door slamming.
Offers a solution for reducing airborne noise. QuietRock 500 helps reduce the noise by using constrained layer damping technology (CLD). When acoustic energy (sound) comes in contact with the constrained layer damped panel, the visco-elastic inner layer works together with the constraining (outer) layers to convert acoustic energy (sound) into thermal energy (heat), which cannot be heard. QuietPutty and QuietSeal are applied around electrical boxes and gaps to prevent sound flanking. They remain soft to maintain the acoustic performance in your high-performance wall.
