QuietRock® 530

Key Benefits

  • 5/8” sound damped gypsum panel with added shear and impact resistance

  • For use in high traffic areas prone to impact and penetration such as schools, hospitals and correctional facilities

  • Highly reliable sound control that cannot be easily short circuited like resilient channel, even when fixtures are installed

  • For use in load bearing and non-load bearing assemblies

  • Outperforms other sound attenuation methods, including multi-layered gypsum panels, resilient channel and soundboard

Product Description : sound control with shear and impact resistance

QuietRock 530 is a versatile, high performance sound damping gypsum panel that delivers superb noise reduction with shear and impact resistance. This super panel is UL Certified for use on several fire-resistance rated assemblies and installs and finishes like other paper faced gypsum board but will require a saw to cut. In certain installations the steel core may disrupt cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity. QuietRock 530 is also available with radio frequency shielding, see QuietRock 530RF.
