ComfortGuard Sound-Deadening Gypsum Board

ComfortGuard® Sound-Deadening Board

ComfortGuard sound-deadening gypsum board features two separate specially engineered 5⁄16"-thick gypsum panels, each manufactured with a mold- and moisture-resistant core and facers, laminated together using a viscoelastic polymer. With this pliable adhesive between the two rigid panels, ComfortGuard is a very effective product for interrupting the transmission of noise vibrations through wall and partition assemblies. This makes ComfortGuard the ideal solution to help deliver new, increasingly common code-required, higher STC values.

Sound Control Basics:
