USG – Ensemble Acoustical Drywall Ceiling System

QPS is a certified installer for USG’s Ensemble Acoustical Drywall Ceiling System. This innovative acoustical ceiling system allows for clean seamless ceilings with a monolithic look without the compromise of acoustic properties or aesthetics.

This new system is rising in popularity amongst high profile spaces such as lobbies, workplace cafeterias, executive boardrooms, lecture halls, and museums.

This system does however require more precision and a higher level of finish to achieve an acceptable appearance which is where QPS’s extensive experience with high level finishes comes into play. Our team is as mentioned above a certified contractor for the installation of this system and QPS has done exemplary  work with this very product in many projects such as: LPA’s Office Space, Ballard Spahr, & California Resource Corporation.

Acoustical Tile Ceilings

QPS’ acoustical ceiling services include the installation of suspended acoustical ceilings, adhesively applied ceilings, buffered, and paneled or framed ceilings using a variety of materials and applications (wet pressed mineral fiber, gypsum wall-board, perlite, fiberglass, stretch and fabric-wrapped panels, decorative and non-decorative wood and metal) in standard and specialty commercial projects.

Building noise control consists of sound absorption, the reduction in a space or room’s reverberation to improve clarity of sound and reduce excessive noise, and sound transmission, the reduction of sound’s ability to travel between two spaces whether airborne or structural. Sound absorption can be achieved through acoustically absorbent materials especially in areas where there is a large degree of reverberation (echo).

QPS is knowledgeable of acoustical tile ceiling applications and noise abatement products. The Company has worked with acoustical consultants, architects, and engineers to design the most complex spaces and buildings including libraries, museums, board rooms, gymnasiums, restaurants and religious facilities.

Fireproofing

Similar to its insulation services, fireproofing services, principally the application of Monokote, is typically provided in projects where the service is specifically requested by the general contractor on a project where QPS is performing other metal stud framing and drywall installation and finishing services.
