The Power of EZ-SNAP: Making Soundproof Drywall Easy

The Problem with Standard Soundproofing Drywall

Most soundproof drywall products available on the market today have one major drawback: they are difficult to score and snap. Because most soundproof drywall panels are manufactured with either paper or metal in the center of the panel, you often have to use a hand saw or an electric saw to size panels and cut out spaces for outlets or other openings. While these products achieve impressive sound transmission class (STC) ratings, the difficultly of sizing the panels means that installation is more complex and takes more time. Lengthy installation time means you are losing time and losing money.

Enter EZ-SNAP

Now, a new technology called EZ-SNAP®, results in a new generation of soundproof drywall that offers greater strength, enhanced fire resistance, and easier and cleaner score and snap than even standard gypsum board. EZ-SNAP employs an advanced gypsum core technology and a breakthrough manufacturing process that splits the core down the center, puts polymers inside, reassembles the two halves and seals the edges of the panel. Soundproof drywall with EZ-SNAP technology, developed by Serious Materials, is 4 times easier to score and snap than other brands.

By combining the advantages of regular acoustic drywall with EZ-SNAP technology, these state of the art panels achieve the best of both worlds: STC ratings of up to 55, space savings due to the fact that acoustic panels attain the noise control of approximately eight sheets of standard drywall, quick and easy install because it scores and snaps easily and without the need for saws, and reliable sound transmission performance that can't be short-circuited during installation, unlike resilient channel.

Save Time and Save Money

Easy installation is not just about making life less difficult - it is about cutting costs. By eliminating the need for time-consuming sizing with tools like hand or electric saws, panels with EZ-SNAP save significant amounts of labor time during installation. Minimizing install time means saving money on labor costs and increasing productivity.

Craig St. John, President of Westwood Building Materials responded enthusiastically to the innovation of EZ-SNAP. He says that since panels with EZ-SNAP are "4 times easier to score and snap, and more affordable, it is clearly way ahead of other sound-reducing drywall products on the market today, which simply sandwich two pieces of drywall together and have 2-layers of paper in the middle."
