Supress Sound-Engineered DrywallTM and Sound-Engineered PlywoodTM

New Construction New, sophisticated building codes require architects to create, and builders to produce, structures with exceptional strength and fire-resistance. Unfortunately, these very safe practices result in buildings that are also very efficient at transmitting unwanted noise and sound energy through out just like a network. Multi-family buildings are the most prone to these sound complaints due to the close proximity of neighbors, living adjacent, above and below. Home theaters and living rooms with media centers are also great contributors of unwanted noise. Building near a busy roadway or an airport? Use Supress, instead of regular drywall, in a single layer on the interior surface of the wall facing the noise source. Want extra luxury performance? Use the next greater thickness of Supress.
