Medical Office Complex

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)

Paramount Contracting faced a significant challenge when renovating a large office building into a medical office complex for UPMC. The project required extensive fire and soundproofing, typically achieved through time-consuming and messy sealant applications. 

To accelerate the process and improve efficiency, Paramount utilized Sound Gasket and Fire Gasket. These products offered a faster and simpler installation method compared to traditional sealants. The team could install them before drywall, reducing project timeline and eliminating the challenges associated with applying sealant in a dusty construction environment. 

Sound Gasket effectively dampens noise transmission between walls, meeting HIPAA regulations for patient privacy. Fire Gasket provides crucial fire protection by preventing the spread of flames and smoke. Both products offered a durable and long-lasting seal, reducing the risk of callbacks and rework. The ease of use and significant time savings contributed to overall cost efficiency and project success.

Featured Products

Sound Gasket™ is a vinyl accessory that provides smoke and sound ratings for both dynamic and static joints. The unique vinyl profile provides a seal along the inside leg to prevent sound flanking along the leg of the slotted and framing screws while the outer bubble gasket will compress to seal against uneven concrete.
Fire Gasket is a fire-rated composite vinyl intumescent accessory that provides fire ratings for both dynamic and static joints for both concrete and fluted deck assemblies according to UL-2079 5th edition, provides 1 hr and 2 hr fire ratings, and an L-rating of less than 1 CFM provides up to 1/2” of unencumbered movement and is sound tested according to ASTM E90.
