PURPLE® SoundBreak XPtm Ceilingtm Board Reduces Noise Between Floors
CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, National Gypsum completes its PURPLE family of noise-reducing products with the introduction of Gold Bond® brand SoundBreak XPtm Ceilingtm Board at the Association of Wall and Ceiling Industry's (AWCI) INTEX Expo in National Harbor, MD. The company's original SoundBreak XP® drywall has been reducing noise heard between rooms for over a decade and last year the manufacturer unveiled the first-of-its-kind SoundBreak XPtm Retrofit®, which provides the same sound damping benefits and installs over existing gypsum walls, at the conference.
"According to a recent survey, more than 40% of homeowners struggle with a noise issue in their homes and we know there are similar challenges in commercial spaces," said Chris Whitmire, National Gypsum's product manager for gypsum systems. "With the introduction of SoundBreak XPtm Ceilingtm Board, our PURPLE family of drywall products now has a solution for every application whether its room-to-room or between floors."
SoundBreak XPtm Ceilingtm Board is 3/4" sound-damping drywall comprised of two pieces of high-density, mold-, mildew- and moisture-resistant gypsum board, with a specially designed PURPLE® paper, laminated together with a viscoelastic polymer. It installs and finishes like traditional gypsum board and achieves GREENGUARD Gold Certification for indoor air quality.
It was developed for floor-ceiling assemblies where airborne sound such as disturbing voices and structurally transmitted sound such as second floor foot traffic is a concern. Basically, SoundBreak XPtm Ceilingtm Board has it all covered.
"We've said it since SoundBreak XP's introduction in 2007, but it's even more true today: silence is no longer golden, it's PURPLE®," said Jay Watt, National Gypsum director of marketing. "Adding this product to our PURPLE® family of high-performance, sound-damping drywall products gives contractors, remodelers and homeowners yet another reason to ask for PURPLE®."
