Optimal Sound Reduction For Quality Living
Optimal Sound ReductionFor Quality Living
QuietSound™ Rolled Underlayment is the premium solution to the problem
of noise transmission in multi-story buildings. QuietSound’s sustainable,
recycled rubber underlayment provides optimal sound reduction while
remaining impervious to the elements. Unlike natural cork, recycled
rubber remains permanently resilient and will not become brittle with
exposure to air. Not only does QuietSound™ prevent the annoying sound
transmission of foot traffic to the floors below, it also effectively deadens
the transmission of interior noise, such as from stereos and voices.
“We supplied the QuietSound acoustic underlayment for a number of very large downtown Los Angeles condo projects, and our clients couldn’t be happier. It’s also great that the product is made locally, which means more LEED points.”
