Code Compliance, Without All the Extra Steps

These firestopping, sound-abating solutions blaze past unreliable sealants and sprays to chart a new path forward for commercial construction.

The problem with typical code-compliant assemblies:

  1. Short-lived solutions
  2. Added backing materials
  3. Tons of time spent installing
We decided that the industry could do better.
