Gold Bond SoundBreak XP Family of Products
From noisy hotel guests to confidential conversations, we’ve all heard things we wish we hadn’t. Today, architects and contractors are coming under increasing pressure to reduce sound transmission in both their commercial and their residential projects. The need for sound control led Gold Bond Building Products to develop SoundBreak® XP® — the industry’s most well-rounded family of noise-reducing products.
SoundBreak® XP® consists of two pieces of high-density, mold-, mildew- and moisture-resistant gypsum board, with a specially designed PURPLE® paper, laminated together with a sound-damping, viscoelastic polymer. This acoustically enhanced, fire-resistant gypsum core is encased in heavy paper that is 100% recycled on both sides and offers superior abrasion and mold, mildew and moisture resistance. Available in 1/2”, 5/8” and 3/4” thicknesses for use in wall and ceiling applications.
SoundBreak XP Retrofit® Gypsum Board installs easily over existing construction, eliminating the need for demolition. This acoustically
enhanced, fire-resistant gypsum board is encased in heavy paper that is 100% recycled on both sides and offers superior abrasion and
mold, mildew and moisture resistance. Available in 5/16” thickness.
