Super Stud to Exhibit at Construct

Super Stud Building Products will be exhibiting at this year’s CONSTRUCT AEC educational program and exhibition in National Harbor, Maryland. Super Stud will be focusing on flagship products such as the EDGE interior drywall framing system and the SuperMAXX Joist system. Super Stud will be at booth #1041 of the Gaylord National Convention Center, so stop by and learn how our structural and non-structural steel framing products and services can support your project goals. . 

Don Allen, P.E., Engineering Director at Super Stud Building Products will be conducting an education session focusing on acoustical performance strategies in multifamily environments on Friday, October 11th from 7:45am to 8:45am. “As the industry evolves with new products and innovative processes, we are building smarter buildings in shorter periods of time,” explains Allen. “With that, there are certain sacrifices that are made along the way when compressing schedules and integrating new technologies into construction methods. From the architectural design and interior finishes, to engineering optimal building performance and construction methods, many of these decisions are predicated primarily on time and budget constraints, which often lead to unintended consequences in the finished structure.”

Acoustical performance issues have had an inordinate impact on multifamily: where developers try to work within increasingly complex building codes, new building methods and aggressive timelines. Within the complex intermingling of systems that our multifamily buildings have become, one critical constraint ‘rings’ true -- the need for sound attenuation. From size and configuration, to quality of a build, down to the floor limitations and appearance, participants will take a deep dive into optimizing acoustical performance in various scenarios. Allen’s session will highlight sound assemblies in mid-rise and multifamily that create opportunities for better outcomes and quieter dwellings.
