NEW QUIETPAD UNDERLAYMENT SOLVES ACOUSTICAL CHALLENGE


American Lumber is pleased to introduce the newest addition to its line of acoustical products from Quiet Solution. 


QuietPad floor underlayment reduces impact noise in high-rise concrete construction such as hotels, condominiums, and office buildings. The new product provides superior performance to other popular rubber and cork underlayments at significantly lower cost.


QuietPad is only 1/16” thick, contrasted with alternatives which are often ¼” thick or more.  It is affixed directly to the concrete subfloor and allows attachment of wood or tile directly on top, without an extra layer in between.


“Anyone building a high rise today needs to re-evaluate their underlayment choice immediately – or risk throwing money and performance out the window,” according to Steve Weiss of Quiet Solution.  


American Lumber first introduced QuietRock® to the northeastern marketplace in 2004, and continues to promote the Quiet Solution line to builders and architects in support of QuietRock® dealers across the region.
