What is Quietstone?

Quietstone is a high-performance cement-based board designed to deliver exceptional acoustic insulation, fire protection, and moisture resistance. Unlike standard plasterboards, Quietstone boards—such as Aquafire Cement Board—are made from a lightweight, non-combustible material that’s ideal for both interior and exterior use. These boards are engineered to meet demanding building regulations, making them a trusted solution in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

• Commercial Spaces: Suitable for office buildings, conference rooms, and other professional environments where sound clarity and noise control are crucial.
• Industrial Settings: Effective in factories and industrial facilities to manage noise pollution and enhance worker comfort and safety.

Selection Guidance for Quietstone

When choosing the right Quietstone product for your needs, consider the following:

Area of Application: Determine the size and type of space where the board will be installed. Larger areas may require more boards, while specific environments (like damp areas) might need additional considerations for moisture resistance.

Soundproofing vs. Acoustic Enhancement: Understand whether your primary need is to block sound (soundproofing) or improve sound quality within a space (acoustic enhancement). The Quietstone CR Cement Board is suitable for both purposes, but the installation approach may vary.

Installation Requirements: Consider the installation process, including whether you'll need professional assistance or additional materials like adhesives or sealants.
