FLOOR,
CEILING,
PENETRATIONS
AND
ANY
SEAM
UNBACKED
BY
A
STUD
TO
MAINTAIN
HIGH
ACOUSTIC
PERFORMANCE
1) Clean
all
surfaces
before
installation
so
they
are
free
of
dirt,
grease,
wax,
dust,
corrosion,
moisture
or
any
material
that
may
interfere
with
obtaining
optimum
adhesion
2) For
new
construction
before
the
top
and
bottom
stud
plates
and
end
studs
are
installed,
run
two
1/8”-­‐3/8”
beads
of
QuietSeal
Pro
between
them
and
the
wall,
floor
and
ceiling.
3) Apply
a
1/4”
bead
of
QuietSeal
Pro
around
the
perimeter
of
the
wall
or
floor/ceiling
assembly.
Ensure
that
the
QuietSeal
Pro
is
airtight
between
the
QuietRock/QuietWood/Drywall/Wood
and
the
adjacent
wall
floor
or
ceiling.
4) For
the
best
acoustic
isolation,
apply
QuietSeal
around
the
perimeter
of
each
panel
before
putting
up
the
next
sheet.
5) Seal
around
all
electrical
and
plumbing
outlets
with
QuietSeal
Pro.
Tips
For
very
large

first
fill
the
opening
with
a
pre-­‐molded
loose-­‐cell
filler
or
backer
rod.
When
using
on
the
edges
of
the
panels,

adjacent
sheet
