I know this stuff is disliked because of expense...but...

How thick should my walls be, should I float my floors (and if so, how), why is two leaf mass-air-mass design important, etc.

I've read some opinions here on Quiet Rock and the general opinion was you don't need to spend that much money. No one disbelieved their claims though (maybe just because of no one having experience with the different methods using regular drywall as well as this stuff).

My concern is my ceiling and the amount of weight I can put on it. So for this, I was thinking this

http://www.quietsolution.com/Products/C ... trock.html

The second product is serenity and it weighs as much as regular drywall and is 5/8 thick. It also doesn't require resilient channel (so it can't be shorted out). So for a small room 19X11, I wouldn't require that many pieces.

Any ideas about that?

I'm having a heck of a time finding a vendor to give me a price on a few sheets... supposedly the list price is $120 per sheet.

Welcome! It is a bit of a pun, but after this thread is moved. don't forget to calculate the cost of moving (shipping) the sheets to your facility.

Nope. It works. Test data on their site from reputable test labs. It works

Good Luck!

Well I know it's expensive.... but I will only need around 7 sheets for my ceiling. My walls I can do the less expensive way...

Anyone know where I could get this stuff?

A good friend of mine has a construction company in Newtown Square (just outside Philadelphia to the west). I gave him a call and he said he could probably get it for you if you know exactly what you want.
