QuietZone™ Acoustic Wall Framing
Designed to replace conventional
wall framing in noise control applications, QuietZone Acoustic Wall Framing
combines two sections of Trus Joist™ TimberStrand®
LSL connected by several acoustically resilient metal clips. This framing
allows walls to be built with better STC ratings, while maintaining nominal
wall depths. Therefore, walls can be installed at a lower cost than alternative
construction techniques such as resilient channels or staggered studs.

Fire Safety and Applicable Standards
QuietZone Acoustic Wall Framing has been tested in accordance with ANSI/UL263, ASTM E 119 and NFPA51 and is listed in the UL (Design No. U368) Fire Directory with a 1-hour fire rating classification (Always follow UL fire directory guidelines).
Two layers 5/8" thick Type X or C
gypsum board or 1/2" thick Type C gypsum board is required on both sides
of the acoustical wall framing. QuietZone Acoustic Batts are required to
fill the stud cavities in both 2 x 4-stud and 2x6-stud construction. Filling
the wall cavity with QuietZone Acoustic Batts also provides fire stopping
in lieu of conventional wood blocking. See QuietZone Acoustic Wall Framing
Architectural Specifications for more information.
