The QuietBox recessed lighting soundproofing cover is used to isolate IC rated recessed lighting for nearly every brand and style of housing. Each untreated recessed light in your ceiling will lower the performance of your assembly by 1-2 STC points, depending on the number of lights and size of ceiling. This reduction in performance is due to the loss in mass where the recessed light is installed in place of one or more layers of drywall on the rest of the ceiling. The concept is to restore this lost mass created by the recessed light housing by fitting the entire housing within the QuietBox and sealing the box to the back of the finish layer of drywall. Normal drywall ceilings will have the QuietBox installed using a 2x framing member or similar while resilient ceilings will remain decoupled by attaching the QuietBox with our custom Corner Brackets. These are 6” long brackets designed to maintain resilience and stability in installation. Installation of the QuietBox around your IC rated recessed light will restore the lost mass entirely allowing your ceiling to reach the full STC, OITC, and IIC rating.
The interior of the QuietBox recessed lighting soundproofing cover is finished with 5/8” Type-X drywall and UL rated acoustical sealant. The QuietBox recessed light cover meets building code requirements for electrical fire code by using materials safe to be in contact with electrical housings. There is not an official UL rating for the QuietBox.
