"Quiet Solution" drywall panels for noiseproofing?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I was checking them out a while ago. I think if you search past posts
you might dig up some info on them. I think the product could work
based on what i've read. I don't think it's worth the 120 per sheet. I
mean you can use 4 sheets of Sheetrock® and still be ahead. I am
interested in their glue tho. Anyway good luck to your friend.


cheers

The Quiet Solutions materials are kind of like shopping at a grocery
store convenience food counter. You can buy chicken, cheese, ham, and
some seasonings and make Chicken Cordon Bleu or you can just buy it
pre-assembled (less some of the fancy stuff you'd do yourself) and pop
it into the oven. The Quiet Solutions board works like sheetrock but
it's more dense so you don't need to build up (as many) layers.

Easier to install, but you pay for the convenience. If you're paying a
drywall mechanic to put it up, you might save something on the project
because of less labor. If you're doing it all yourself and won't miss
a few inches taken up by extra layers of drywall plus the added
difficulty of sawing through four layers of drywall when putting in
things like outlet boxes, then there's a cheaper source for materials
that are just as effective.
