THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY APPROACH

Effective sound control is achieved through system design, not individual products.

At Consulting Partners Network Co., LLC, we evaluate the complete floor-ceiling assembly—from structural framing, gypsum and self-leveling underlayments, and sound-control mats to ceiling isolation clips, resilient channels, insulation, and finished surfaces—to understand how these components collectively influence airborne and impact sound transmission.

System performance depends on the configuration, installation, and interaction of the components, including the potential for flanking paths and acoustical short circuits. Ratings and improvements must be considered in the context of the tested assembly.
