Product Description : maximum sound control across a broad frequency range
QuietRock 545 is a multi-layer, specialty panel engineered to provide maximum sound control across a broad range of frequencies. QuietRock 545 is ideal for commercial theaters, studios, performance spaces, and music rooms where low-frequency mitigation is critical.
The panels are UL Certified for use on several fire-resistance rated assemblies and install and finish like other paper faced gypsum board but require a saw to cut. Extra care must be taken due to its weight.
