Acoustically Enhanced Gypsum Board for High STC Wall Partitions
Course description
Over the years sound transmission in wall partitions has been a difficult issue to resolve. The use of sound resilient metal channels, double stud and staggered stud walls filled with insulation was the design professional’s choice. As a result of innovation and a better understanding of acoustics, additional products are now available for the design of high STC wall assemblies. Led by an NGC certified presenter offering 1.0 LU/HSW credit.
