What Is the best way to install SoundStop® in new construction?
Apply SoundStop® vertically with the studs, using proper size drywall nails or screws. First place a drywall nail or screw in each corner of SoundStop® and across the middle of each board. Then apply a bead of acoustical caulk where SoundStop® meets the ceiling, the sides of the walls and the floor. Next, install the drywall horizontally using the standard drywall nailing pattern. Always secure nails or screws to studs.
