HushFrame Soundproofing: Quiet Living in Alaska’s Harsh Climate
Alaska’s unique climate and housing needs make soundproofing more important than ever. With long winters and energy-efficient construction that seals homes tightly, noise between units in multifamily housing can quickly become a major concern.
Problems with Traditional Systems
Legacy methods like gypcrete toppings and resilient channel don’t hold up well in Alaska. Gypcrete is heavy and adds unnecessary structural load to buildings that must already withstand snow and shifting soils. RC is unreliable, often compromised by installation errors that lead to disappointing results in the field.
​
The HushFrame® Solution
HushFrame offers a lightweight, high-performance alternative. Its patented Vi-Bridge™ silicone core isolates sound vibration, preventing noise from traveling through walls, ceilings, and floors. Unlike cementitious toppings, HushFrame doesn’t crack in freezing conditions or require long cure times.
​
Advantages include:
​
-
Reliable noise isolation with strong STC/IIC ratings.
-
Durability,silicone remains unaffected by Alaska’s extreme cold.
-
Lower project costs,eliminating gypcrete saves time and money.
-
Flexibility,works for both multifamily housing and commercial projects.
Alaskan Adoption
From Anchorage to Fairbanks, residents appreciate quieter homes, and builders gain confidence in assemblies that last the life of the structure.
