• Does the customer get the same sound benefit if they inter-mix products?
  • No, mixing non-UltraSTEEL™ products into a wall will short circuit the benefit and default to the lower traditional values.
• I have a 56 STC requirement for a party wall.  A double stud staggered wall is specified to meet the STC requirement. Can UltraSTEEL™ improve or help me achieve a higher rating?
  • UltraSTEEL™, when used in conjunction with double layers of 5/8" gypsum both sides, fiberglass insulation, and single leg resilient channel both sides will actual provide a 61 STC rating. A 3-point STC difference will reduce sound transmission by 50%.
•  What does STC stand for?
  • Sound Transmission Class.
