Tech Note 360: Acoustic Insulation and Sound Transmission in Cold-Formed Steel Construction

$5.00

Summary: Cold-formed steel has been widely used in commercial buildings, especially in non-load bearing (partitions) and curtain wall applications, and is increasingly used as primary structural members, such as beams and columns, or as load-bearing walls or partitions in commercial and residential construction. The acoustic performance of floors and walls is an important consideration for many buildings.
