Soundproofing is a critical consideration in modern construction, particularly in high-density residential, commercial, and institutional projects. Traditional steel studs conduct sound vibrations, allowing noise to transfer between spaces. To address this, Rondo has developed the QUIET STUD® Acoustic Wall System, an advanced solution that enhances acoustic performance while maintaining a simple and efficient installation process.

The Science Behind Rondo QUIET STUD®

The Rondo QUIET STUD® is designed to minimise sound transmission by increasing the surface area that sound waves must travel through, weakening their intensity before reaching the other side of the wall. Combined with appropriate lining board systems, it serves as an effective buffer against unwanted noise, making it a cost-effective and high-performance solution for Australia's acoustic control requirements.

Key Benefits of Rondo QUIET STUD®

✅ Superior Acoustic Performance – Its innovative design disrupts sound transmission, reducing noise transfer between spaces.
✅ Efficient Space Utilisation – Delivers exceptional soundproofing without significantly increasing wall thickness, preserving usable floor space.
✅ Cost-Effective Installation – Uses standard 92mm Rondo wall tracks and follows conventional drywall construction methods, reducing labour costs.
✅ Simplified Framing Method – Single-profile installation eliminates the need for the staggered stud method, making the process faster and more efficient.
✅ Built-in Service Features – Includes bell-mouthed service holes for seamless electrical cabling.
✅ Friction-Fit Design – Studs fit securely into top and bottom wall tracks for added stability.
✅ Fire-Rated & Non-Fire Rated Options – Provides flexibility for compliance with different project and regulatory requirements.

Where is Rondo QUIET STUD® Used?

The QUIET STUD® Acoustic Wall System is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

🏢 Apartments & Multi-Residential Developments – Reducing inter-tenancy noise.
🏨 Hotels & Hospitality – Enhancing guest comfort by minimising room-to-room sound transfer.
🏥 Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities – Creating quieter environments for patients and staff.
