by Ann Withanee — July 22, 2011—Serious Energy, Inc., introduces an addition to its EZ-SNAP platform of industry-leading QuietRock soundproofing drywall solutions saving labor, time, and costs, according to the company. Optimized with patented core technology, this new generation of acoustic drywall products is four times easier to score and snap than other soundproofing drywall brands, offering a lower total installed cost, sound-reducing fire-rated Type X drywall solution.
QuietRock ES Mold Resistant incorporates abrasion-resistant paper with mold-resistant treatment and new mold-resistant core, making it ideal for mold-sensitive applications requiring high acoustic performance such as hospitals, schools and government projects. In independent mold resistance tests conducted by The MicroStar Lab using ASTM method D3273, QuietRock ES Mold Resistant received the highest ASTM rating of 10.
Consistent with all QuietRock soundproofing products, the company notes, QuietRock ES Mold Resistance delivers high reliability acoustic performance. Independent lab tests prove a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 60 with just one layer on one side of single steel stud construction. Unlike traditional methods such as resilient channel, it cannot be easily short-circuited in the field, yielding superior acoustic performance with less cost and supervision. And unlike other brands of noise-reducing drywall, it can be scored and snapped as easily as regular drywall, which can result in lower total installed costs.
QuietRock ES Mold Resistant is available nationwide beginning mid-August 2011.
