Space Assurance

               
    
Space Assurance™ is a flexible, flame resistant polyester fabric used as a fastener line,  virtually assuring the proper detail between the wall & ceiling & eliminating one of the most common paths for noise flanking in multi-family construction.

Short circuits & flanking noise are often caused by improper detailing of the gypsum wall & ceiling. The proper detail is to leave a 0.25” space & then caulk the joint. This installation detail is difficult to install & difficult to assure.

The first step in ceiling installation is to install Space Assurance™ around the ceiling of every room. Ceiling elements butt against the Space Assurance™ with the bottom half used to separate the ceiling drywall from the wall board. The excess is cut off.
