QuietRock® 545

Key Benefits

  • 1-3/8” sound damped panel with added mass for low frequency attenuation

  • Highest performing sound reducing gypsum panel available, delivering maximum sound isolation across a broad frequency range for both high and low frequencies

  • High reliability—it cannot be easily short circuited like resilient channel. Continues to reduce noise even when fixtures are installed, such as shelves or cabinets

  • Ideal for high-end home theaters, studios, commercial theaters, mechanical rooms, and other situations where low frequency noise and vibration require sound isolation

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

  • Can achieve a 2 hour fire-rating with a single layer application in certain wall systems

Product Description : Maximum Sound Isolation Across a Broad Frequency Range

QuietRock® 545 is a 1-3/8-inch sound-reducing drywall panel engineered to deliver maximum sound isolation across a broad frequency range, including low-frequency sound. Part of the Quiet® family of sound control products, QuietRock 545 combines multiple layers and added mass to provide high-performance sound control for demanding acoustic applications.

Designed for commercial theaters, studios, performance spaces, music rooms, and other applications where low-frequency sound mitigation is critical, QuietRock 545 provides high levels of sound isolation in a single specialty panel. The panel is UL Certified for use in several fire-resistance-rated assemblies and installs and finishes like paper-faced gypsum board but requires a saw for cutting and extra care when handling due to its weight.
