2. Optimal Sound Reduction
QuietSound™ Rolled Underlayment is thepremiumsolution to theproblem
of noise transmissionin multi-storybuildings. QuietSound’s sustainable,
recycled rubber underlayment provides optimal soundreduction while
remaining impervious to theelements.Unlike natural cork, recycled rubber
remainspermanently resilient and will not become brittle with exposureto
air. Not only does QuietSound™ prevent theannoying sound transmission
of foot traffic to thefloors below, it also effectively deadens thetransmission
of interior noise, suchasfromstereosand voices.
“We supplied the QuietSound acoustic underlayment for
a number of very large downtown LosAngeles condo
projects, and our clients couldn’t be happier. It’s also
great that the product is made locally, which means more
LEED points.”
