QuietZone® is a fiber glass acoustic batt designed to help control sound between interior walls
and floors. It has a kraft facing (no vapor barrier) with flanges for easy installation.
What are the acoustical qualities of QuietZone® acoustic batts compared to
R-11?
The acoustical performance of QuietZone® acoustic batts are similar to R-11.
Note - if QuietZone® acoustic batts are not available in your area, R-11 fiber glass insulation would be
an acceptable substitute. Do not use QuietZone® on exterior walls as the facing is not a vapor retarder.
R-13 or R-15 fiber glass batt insulation is recommended for exterior walls.
What are resilient sound channels?
Resilient channels are metal channels that are placed horizontally across the studs to space the dry wall
off the studs. This minimizes the connection points between the drywall and the framing, making it harder for sound
to vibrate through the wall.
