Product Data Sheet QuietZone Acoustic Batts Owens Corning QuietZone acoustic batts are an essential part of controlling noise transmission between rooms. The QuietZone acoustic batt actually absorbs sound vibrations within the wall cavity to control noise in the home. QuietZone acoustic batts help reduce noise transmission coming from laundry rooms, entertainment rooms, family rooms and any other area where noise is created. It can also be used to create privacy in home offi ces, master bedrooms or other areas where peace and quiet is desired. Excellent Acoustical Performance QuietZone acoustic batts provide excellent in-place acoustical performance. Depending on the construction method used, QuietZone acoustic batts can improve Sound Transmission Class ratings by 4 to 10 dBs. Installation advantages can help a contractor achieve the acoustical performance desired. The STC performance data for various wall constructions can be found on pages 3 and 4. Durable Composition QuietZone acoustic batts: Are dimensionally stable. Will not slump over time. Are composed of inorganic glass fi bers which do not absorb water. Maintain original acoustic properties over time. Will not rot or mildew. Product Benefi ts: Differentiate the homes you build with increased performance. Increase sales by offering unique up-sell options. Provide homeowners with quieter, more peaceful living conditions. Enhance your image by positioning yourself as an acoustic solutions expert. Save homeowners time and money by suggesting noise control prior to new home construction compared to retrofi tting at a later date. Product Attributes QuietZone acoustic batts are: Acoustically engineered to absorb sound vibrations. Installed between interior walls, fl oors, and ceilings when constructed of standard wood framing members. Lightweight and pre-cut to 93" or 105" lengths for quick installation and easy transportation. Faced batts are easily identifi ed by attractive, PINK-kraft facing featuring large images of the PINK PANTHER. Easily stapled and cleanly fabricated to allow for improved workmanship and acoustical performance. Compliant with building codes and standards. Product Installation QuietZone acoustic batts are designed for interior cavities only and are not recommended for exterior walls. The facing on this product is provided for ease of installation and is not a vapor retarder. Insulation must fi t snugly into place, fi lling the cavity completely. Staple batts along kraft fl anges to the inside of the wall framing. In cases where wall penetrations apply, cut with a utility knife to fit around wiring, outlets, junction boxes, pipes and other obstructions. For desired performance, keep batts dry during shipping, storage and installation. QuietZone acoustic batts may be installed with the facing toward either side of interior walls, fl oors, or ceilings in conventional wood stud construction. Product Data Sheet QuietZone Acoustic Batts QuietZone acoustic batts (15" or 23" width) will be required in the cavity space between wall framing sections spaced either 16" or 24" o.c. Owens Corning QuietZone acoustic batts will be required to fi ll the cavity space between wall framing sections spaced either 16" or 24" o.c. when using 2x6 QuietZone acoustic wall framing. Product Applications QuietZone Quiet Foundations Noise Control System Using single 2x4 wood studs (16" o.c.), QuietZone acoustic batts, and ‡ " Type X gypsum board provides basic noise control between adjoining rooms. QuietZone acoustic batts can improve conventional wood stud walls to a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 39.

In this assembly wall performance improves to an STC rating of 63. Technical Design Considerations Acoustical performance of interior drywall partitions can be substantially improved by including a number of important design and construction details. Important details include sealing the perimeter of walls, wall intersection construction details, and the location and proper installation of electrical outlets, ducts, doors and mechanical equipment. Perimeter Sealing Seal walls on both sides at top and bottom plates with a non-hardening, permanently resilient caulking such as a butyl rubber-base compound. Where required, two layers of wallboard, properly staggered, joint compound and tape will effectively seal corners. Doors Where optimum acoustical control is desired, solid wood core doors or insulated metal doors should be specifi ed. Door tops and sides should be gasketed with a soft weather stripping. Use of threshold closures at the bottom of the door or air seals will reduce sound transmission. Technical Data Wood Frame Construction Width Length Thickness Pieces Per Package Sq.

OSU 4970 Product Data Sheet QuietZone Acoustic Batts Sliding doors should be avoided where optimum noise control is desired. Doors opening on hallways should not open across from one another. Electrical Light switches and outlets should not be located back-to-back. Ceiling fi xtures should be surface mounted and openings around boxes should be sealed airtight. Circuit breaker boxes, telephone outlets and intercom systems should be located on wellinsulated interior walls and never on exterior, part or hallway walls. Plumbing Pipe runs should be designed with swing arms so expansion and contraction can occur without binding, thus eliminating unwanted water fl ow generated sound. Piping should also be isolated from surrounding structures with resilient mounts. Installation of fi xtures back-toback should be avoided. In all cases, openings made in walls should be caulked or sealed to ensure optimum acoustical integrity. Ducts and HVAC Equipment Since ducts can easily transmit sound, duct design should be given special consideration when planning the heating and air conditioning system. The installation of a quiet, high quality heating and air conditioning unit is recommended to reduce duct-carried noise. When possible, isolate equipment away from "quiet" areas. Owens Corning offers a variety of duct systems, wraps and liners that effectively reduce noise. Fire Safety Kraft facing will burn. Do not leave exposed. Facing must be installed in substantial contact with an approved ceiling, fl oor or wall material. Keep open fl ame and other heat sources away from facing. Do not place insulation within 3" of light fi xtures or similar electrical devices unless device is labeled for contact with insulation. Use only unfaced insulation between wood framing and masonry chimneys. Do not use insulation in spaces around metal chimneys, fi replaces, or fl ues. Unfaced insulation is considered noncombustible by model building codes. Flame Spread 25 products are fl ame spread rated and can be left exposed where codes allow. See package for warnings, fi re hazard and installation instructions, or call 1-419-248-8234. Applicable Standards QuietZone acoustic batts comply with: ASTM C 665, Type II, Class C. Federal Specifi cation HH-I-521F has been cancelled and is replaced by ASTM C 665. Uniform Building Code (ICBO) building types III, IV, and V National Building Code (BOCA) building types 3, 4, and 5 Standard Building Code (SBCCI) building types III, V, and VI. Always check with your local building code offi cial regarding local requirements affecting installation of all building components. Fiber Glass and Mold As manufactured, fi ber glass insulation is resistant to mold growth. However, mold growth can occur on building materials, including insulation, when it becomes contaminated with organic material and when water is present. To avoid mold growth on fi ber glass insulation, remove any water that has accumulated and correct or repair the source of that water as soon as possible. Insulation that has become wet should be inspected for evidence of residual moisture and contamination, and any insulation that is contaminated should be promptly removed and replaced.
