QuietRock Helps Transform a Soap Factory into a Green Multifamily Housing Project
The New York Times recently ran an article on the importance of building for acoustical comfort and featured a Serious Materials’ QuietRock customer at 37 Bridge Street in Brooklyn, NY. The builder is installing QuickRock in the party- and demising- wall assemblies for this historic former soap factory being transformed into multifamily housing. Often builders think about occupant comfort as they’re building, and we’ve seen in green construction that occupant ratings on green construction outweigh their “brown” counterparts in every way but acoustics.
Articles about our innovative customer base didn’t stop there. In North Boulder, Colorado, Spring Leaf is expected to be a LEED Platnium Net Zero Energy housing development that will include both multi-family and single family homes. According to the blog Jetson Green, the recently completed model home has installed super-insulating SeriousWindows to help them meet their energy-efficiency goals. The high R-value of the windows means less heating and energy loss compared to typical ENERGY STAR® windows.
An ambitious Philadelphia-based Passive House project’s goal is to produce a LEED Platinum home for “$100K in hard construction costs” includes the installation of fiberglass SeriousWindows. According to their blog detailing the project, “These are Serious
Materials triple-glazed windows. They have an R-9 rating which is pretty ridiculous for a window, and they happen to look good as well.” To which we say, thanks for choosing us and keep up the great building design!
