Since its founding in 1938, Owens Corning has been one of the world’s leading researchers and product developers in the field of acoustics. Many texts reference data on acoustical properties that were developed and tested by Owens Corning. Our acoustics lab is accredited through the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), NVLAP Lab Code 100109-0, and is one of the most comprehensively equipped acoustic laboratories in the nation.
As you’re no doubt well aware, how a room "sounds" has a significant
impact in determining the occupants’ ultimate level of satisfaction
with the room’s construction. Owens Corning has applied its expertise
to develop two comprehensive - and complementary - systems to address the
acoustic needs of any project. |

 |
| Products and construction techniques to prevent unwanted
noise from traveling through walls, floors and ceilings - up to 10
decibels (dB) based on Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings.* |
Products and acoustic techniques to physically "tune"
any size room to consistently achieve desired acoustic properties. |

| *Sound Transmission
Class is measured in accordance to ASTM E 90 test methods, which measure
the transmission loss characteristics of a partition. Depending on the wall
construction, substantially higher (than 10dB) dB reductions can be achieved
depending on what type of wall, ceiling, or floor systems are being compared.
A laboratory test of a typical untreated interior wall has an STC of 35.
Our 2" x 4" QuietZone® Acoustic Wall Framing when used with QuietZone®
Acoustic Batts and QuietZone® Acoustic Sealant receives a rating of STC
49, a 14 dB reduction in sound transmission. |
