Maintaining the privacy in offices  Most offices have open spaces between the top of the demising walls and the roof deck above. This results in unwanted sound travel between work spaces - work flow and productivity get disturbed at best and dangerous privacy issues occur at worst.  Privacy Board and Return Air Silencers are an acoustic soundproof system that provides a sound barrier above the partition walls.  Privacy Board is very easy to install and it takes a minimum amount of time. Installation is much faster and cleaner than using drywall.  Privacy Board is the most affordable and effective soundproofing system for restoring office privacy.

Why do you need soundproofing for walls and ceilings?  Between offices unwanted sound transfer is an annoyance or possibly a legal liability while sound transfer between living spaces can be extremely stressful leaving one or both parties very unhappy.  There is no such thing as 100% noise resistance in a building assembly but careful consideration needs to be taken when deciding on any building assembly based on current or future use. Always count on building assemblies underperforming laboratory results by at least 5 dB.  Relaxed atmosphere with out stress – especially important in residential applications.  No disturbances for sleep.  Longevity and property value preservation.
