Keene Building Products
Quiet Qurl FT is a new variation to Keene Building Products’ current Quiet Qurl noise control products for multi-family construction. Quiet Qurl FT is equipped with Keene’s “Fast Tracking” fabric liner. The FT fabric suspends the concrete mixture while expediting the drying time. Quiet Qurl FT can cut down drying times under the right environmental conditions. This occurs because the bottom side is thick enough for air movement while the fabric is open enough to allow bottom drying.
