GOLD BOND^® BRAND SOUNDBREAK GYPSUM BOARD
NAMED ‘TOP 100’ PRODUCT BY BUILDINGS MAGAZINE

National Gypsum’s Gold Bond^® BRAND SoundBreak Gypsum Board has been named one of Buildings magazine’s Top 100 Products.

The list, published annually in June, highlights intriguing and innovative products determined by the magazine’s editors to “help you with your development, construction, modernization, management and operations responsibilities.”

Introduced in the spring of 2007, SoundBreak is a cost-effective, acoustically enhanced gypsum board designed to reduce the transmission of airborne sound between living spaces within buildings. It is a thinner, less expensive, more reliable alternative to traditional construction methods and answers the growing demand for increased privacy and less sound intrusion in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, schools, healthcare settings and home theaters.

SoundBreak installs and finishes like traditional drywall and can be used as a single-layer application or as a component of multi-layered wall assemblies anywhere there’s a concern about sound transmission between rooms or dwelling units. It is available in 4’ wide sheets that are 8, 9, 10 and 12 feet in length.

SoundBreak Gypsum Board was developed combining technology from National Gypsum and from Quiet Solution, a division of Serious Materials. For more information about SoundBreak, please visit our SoundBreak product page.
