Overview: Builders need to have a reliable, easy and low-cost method of building quiet living spaces without the limitations of traditional building materials. New products such as QuietRock make multi-family construction for low to medium cost projects a reality by making it easy for builders and their subcontractors to meet STC (Sound Transmission Class) 50. Using new technology, builders can achieve desired results at a lower overall cost than double stud walls. Today, builders of multi-family housing must consider special building methods for party walls to reduce sound transmission from neighbors.
