ASC IsoWall and IsoCeiling is installed
in basically three easy steps. Step 1 is
site prep such as insulation, HVAC ducts and vents, perimeter
blocking, and electrical box placement. Step 2
is install suspension system of gasket, RC Pads, and resilient
channel. Step 3 is installing the sheetrock
with WallDamp sandwiched between.
This
system is based on the resilient channel method of soundproofing,
a well proven technique that has been in use for over 50 years.
The ASC IsoDamp soundproofing system is an improvement on
the resilient channel system because we add damping to the
assembly.
In all cases, always be sure to follow
your local building codes, regardless of what we
might suggest. The ASC IsoWall and IsoCeiling Soundproofing
System uses two layers of dissimilar sheetrock, one being
regular 1/2" gypsum wallboard, the other being 1/2"
"greenboard". Its up to you if you want to use thicker
material.
Regardless, screw length and type is critically
important to the success of your project. You MUST calculate
the right length to achieve secure sheetrock attachment. If
you are unfamiliar with installing resilient channel, be sure
to study the USG
Gypsum Construction Handbook. |
