Area separation wall systems area separation wall submittal sheet sa925 wb2129 sheetrock shaft wall systems tested systems achieve up to 58 stc.
Staggered or double stud walls are higher rated than single stud walls.
Stc is calculated by taking the transmission loss tl values tested at 16 standard frequencies over the range of 125 hz to 4000 hz and plotted on a graph.
The stc results of decoupling in wall and ceiling assemblies varies significantly depending on the framing type air cavity volume and decoupling material type.
Stc ratings steel stud framed walls sound transmission class stc is an integer rating of how well a framed wall attenuates sound.
Usg provides resources here for our ul wall assemblies for seamless integration into any construction project.
In 1961 stc was introduced as the method for comparing various wall ceiling floor door and window assemblies.
Insulation will noticeably improve the stc rating of an assembly.
Weigh at least 50 less than masonry walls allowing faster easier installation for more information see the following brochures.
