Temple-Inland QuietBrace is a sound-deadening, structural fiberboard wall sheathing. It is a panel product made from lignocellulosic fibers (wood) and has a density between 10 and 31 pounds per cubic foot. The integral fiber bond is developed by interfelting of the fibers and enhanced with a natural binder, producing the panel's structural performance and integrity. QuietBrace is made from 100% southern pine fiber generated from sawmill residue. The separate asphalt coating on both sides and all edges imparts added strength and water protection. When installed properly, QuietBrace is recognized as a structural wall-bracing panel providing required racking resistance for exterior walls as well as significant noise attenuation properties.
