Cost per square foot per improvement in STCWhen compared to a standard wall with a single layer of drywall on each side.

-Green Glue is notably cost effective in this analysis. Only materials and labor are included, if floor space was accounted for, the margin would be

immense. The flanking limit of the lab may make this comparison somewhat unfavorable to Green Glue, as the STC of the Green Glue assembly may in

fact be higher.
