QUIET SOLUTION SHIPS ONE MILLIONTH QUIETROCK PANEL

Quiet Solution Ships 1,000,000th QuietRock Panel to Joie de Vivre Hotels; Continues Leadership Position in High Performance Sound Systems

Sunnyvale, CA - Quiet Solution, a market and technology leader in high performance sound systems, announced that it has shipped over 1,000,000 panels of QuietRock® wallboard.

QuietRock cost effectively delivers high performance noise reduction which has helped Quiet Solution attain a leadership position in the industry with over 90% of product sales every year since the company pioneered improved sound performance panels in the drywall category back in 2002.

Joie de Vivre’s 197-room boutique Citizen Hotel in downtown Sacramento used the one-millionth panel. “QuietRock helps us deliver a quiet, restful, luxury experience,” said Brian Larson, managing director, the Citizen Hotel. “Soundproofing with QuietRock was less expensive than any other approach we looked at when you include materials and labor, and it will help us finish the project on time and on budget.”

Joie de Vivre used a variety of QuietRock panels at the Citizen, including QuietRock 525. “QuietRock 525 allowed us to use fewer layers of gypsum board, while maintaining the desired STC ratings, thereby reducing labor costs.

QuietRock 528 was ideal for sound walls that required a tile backer board,” said Todd Browning, district manager of Boyett Construction, Inc. of Rocklin, California. Using fewer layers also means the project uses less material and less energy, important green building objectives.

The project’s architect, Gary Murakami of VITAE Architecture, said “using QuietRock is no-brainer.” “Demand for effective, and cost effective, soundproofing is soaring,”

“We’re seeing fast growth in QuietRock sales on both commercial and residentialprojects.”

“The quest for quiet is stronger than ever,” said Steve Weiss, vice president of marketing, Quiet Solution. “We continue to be encouraged by the strong demand for our soundproofing solutions, and it’s an honor to be ringing in the one-millionth panelmilestone with Joie de Vivre.”

Quiet Solution has 23 filed patents and produces over 25 Quiet®-brand products.
