Impact and Airborne Sound Control
Creating Comfortable Space in Flooring

Every Condo has an owner that's an attorney and an Association
Worst of all they all might have sensitive ears! The number one litigated problem with neighbors in condominiums is noise. Apartments aren't much different. To live with neighbors on top, bottom and side, sound must be controlled in two ways; airborne sound such as the television or radio is just one problem.

Another problem is the structural borne sound of footfall, vibrating appliances and dragging chairs. Each type of sound is controlled in a different manner. Airborne sound is diminished through weight or mass (along with isolation to a lesser extent). Structural borne sound is controlled through isolation. Tile, hardwood and vinyl finished flooring are notoriously noisy yet most often desired in upscale construction. Consequently in condominium floor construction a MASS-SPRING-MASS design is required to isolate noise at the source, the floor above.

Available in two levels of sound control, Quiet Qurl Impact and Airborne sound control provides the assurance of quality the new owners or occupants expect in upscale condo living. Whether the project is a new concrete condominium 40 stories tall, a three story walk up in a trendy village or a loft retrofit from warehouse project Keene Building Products offers the type of product to assure quiet evenings at home. Let us help design and install a silent sound system now so that the occupants later can enjoy the freedom to select the flooring they like and that other developments already have.

Keene Building Products combines the manufacturing expertise of an organization in existence for over 20 years with an innovative management that has been developing products for these specific applications for most of the past decade. The combination provides North America with something they have been clamoring for since the inception of the "tangled net" product design, an alternative.
