Wbod Studs with Sound Control

Koppers Co., fnc. has developed a fire retardant wood stud that reduces sound transmis,$ion when used in wall partitions of hotelg motels, ofrces, hospitals and nursing hornes, schools and other buildings where noise levels may be of concern.

The new engineered product provides an air space within the stud to change the travel paths of sound, thereby reducing its decibel level.

Engineered studs differ from conventionaI V' x 3" or Z' x 4" structurals in that they are drilled for conduit, and have a lengthwise separation of 7/+u produced by sawing, with subsequent end reconnection. The fabricated units are then pressure-treated with "Non-Com" fire retardant chemicals. They are being produced at Koppers' Oroville, Calif., plant.

New Conslruclion Method Shown

The first public demonstration of o'Structuralcomb," a revolutionary construction system, has been held before more than 200 representatives from government, the construction industry, labor and the new media.

In one hour's time, despite intermittent rain, a small crew of workmen, including two deaf mutes, raised approximately 20 percent of the wall area of a three bed- room home totaling more than 1,(D0 sq. ft, on a precast concrete foundation.

The demonstration was Fponsored by Richwood lndustries Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Richwood has arranged for two housing projects built of "Structuralcomb.'o One of I30 units will be built in Waco, Tex., and the other, of 126 units, will be constructed in Bakersfield, Calif.

The system employs o'sandwich" panels built of gypsum board outer layers and a kraft paper honeycomb center. The "Structuralcomb" system is designed to use the 4 x B' panels lor floors, walls and roofs in connection with traditional doors, windows and other hardware.

The result is claimed to be a structurally stronger house possessing good soundproofing and insulation qualities. The panels are resistant to fire, water, insects, and fungi. The system is expected to lower the cost of home construction by about one-third.
