Quiet Products Chosen for a Condo Conversion of a Former Soap Factory

Creating quiet in buildings for better comfort and higher productivity for everyone has increasingly become a priority in commercial building practice. Older, less reliable methods of noise control, such as resilient channel, have a high failure rate and can leave tenants and occupants unhappy and unsatisfied. The Quiet Soundproofing System not only simplifies the process with easy solutions, but delivers quieter results, reliably. Recently published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, a multifamily condo conversion of a former soap factory uses the Quiet system for their soundproofing building upgrade. Located in the busy streets of Manhattan, Quiet products were chosen for soundproofing between apartments and in corridors of the condo units to create quiet, comfortable rooms for residents.

Use of the Quiet system could maximize valuable floor space within the condo’s unique floor plans and design. QuietRock, a component of the Quiet Soundproofing System, is as thin and easy to use as regular drywall. The system including QuietPutty, QuietRock and QuietSeal Pro is engineered to work together to save time, money and valuable floor space especially in shared multi-units such as this Manhattan condo. This system delivers easy installation, outstanding performance, and more reliable results at lower total installed cost compared to older methods like resilient channel, soundboard, or mass loaded vinyl (MLV). Quiet systems are tailored solutions for a variety of design goals, such as RF (radio frequency) or mold resistance, and building types including commercial, government, healthcare, school, media or residential remodel.
