Instructions / Details
Method A: attaching the Quiet Barrier® HD
directly to the wall surface.
1. Use a stud finder to locate the studs within
the wall. Mark the studs with a chalk line.
2. Install the Quiet Barrier® HD onto the
wall surface with 1 ¼ inch roofing nails.
Butt the edges of the Quiet Barrier® HD
tightly together. Try to minimize the amount of
seams.
3. Peal and place the Quiet Barrier® Tape
over all of the seams of the Quiet Barrier.
4. Install 5/8 inch Type X gypsum board with 2
inch coarse thread drywall screws. Screws should
be placed 8 to 12 inches apart. Make sure the
screws penetrate the studs within the wall. Leave
a ¼ inch gap between the new layer of
gypsum board and all adjoining wall, ceiling and
floor surfaces.
5. Fill the ¼ inch gap with OSI®
Pro-Series® SC-175™ Acoustical Sound Sealant.
Finish the gypsum board using common industry
standards.
Note: For
increased performance add another layer of 5/8
inch Type X Gypsum board.
Method B: Attaching the Quiet Barrier® HD to
the Back of the Gypsum Board.
1. Use a stud finder to locate the studs within
the wall. Mark the studs with a chalk line.
2. Lay the drywall face down on to a clean dry
surface. Apply a ¼ inch bead PL
Construction adhesive around the perimeter of the
backside of the drywall. Apply the adhesive
approximately 2 inches from the edge of the
drywall. Create an X pattern corner to corner and
place a few 1 inch “globs” of glue with the field.
3. Place the Quiet Barrier® material onto the
back side of the drywall. To ensure good contact
with the adhesive, use a hand roller to apply
pressure. Let the adhesive cure for 24 hours
before installation.
4. Place the first sheet of drywall / Quiet
Barrier® composite vertically on the wall.
Leave a ¼ inch gap between the new layer of
gypsum board and all adjoining wall, ceiling and
floor surfaces.
5. Attach the drywall with 2 inch coarse thread
drywall screws. Be sure the screws penetrate the
studs within the wall assembly. Screws should be
placed 8 to 12 inches apart.
6. Fill the ¼ inch gap with OSI®
Pro-Series® SC-175™ Acoustical Sound Sealant.
Finish the gypsum board using common industry
standards.
Note: For
increased performance add another layer of 5/8
inch Type X Gypsum board.
