Benefits.Unprecedented Sound Attenuation from SureWalls' Standard Installation -A primary benefit of SureWalls' system is the exceptionally good sound attenuation it delivers from our standard prescribed installation. Until the advent of the Surewalls system, achieving an STC score in excess of 50 was impossible without taking other expensive sound attenuation measures in the wall construction. SureWalls consistently delivers walls exceeding this STC standard without the added work and cost.
SureWalls Are Strong Walls - Walls installed using the SureWalls system are exceptionally strong walls, stronger than those installed by traditional methods and far, far stronger than walls that become badly "compromised" by a resilient channel installation as part of the most common attempt to increase a wall's sound attenuation characteristics. High level sound attenuation without added expense or tricky, problematic installation methods such as resilient channel? Only with SureWalls.
An Outside Corner That Beats Any Corner on the Market - Our outside corner profile, PerfeCorner trademark, isn't just another souped up version of an applied corner bead. It actually is the structural corner. It attaches directly to the corner stud to become part of the structure and our patented diamond shape impact zone delivers a perfectly straight-edged, highly impact-resistant corner every time. Nothing can match it for aesthetics, durability and ease of finish.
Taping and Mudding to Finish Drywall Seams Should Be Relegated to the History Bin -Poorly done drywall seams become a thing of the past with SureWalls. Our middle seam profile insures a firm, airtight seam at every drywall joint. In fact, once you install with the SureWalls system the wall joints and corners are complete (no taping and mudding). All that's left to do to achieve a high level finish are a couple finish skim coats and you're ready for paint. In our own testing using a standard pre-mixed joint compound, we were able to achieve a level 4 finish without the need for any sanding - level 5 being attainable only with further skim coating of the drywall surface, having nothing to do with the finishing of our profile seams.
Sustainable and Environmentally Safer - SureWalls' vinyl profiles are sustainable and safe, recyclable and Class A rated for flame spread and smoke. But perhaps the greatest environmental benefit of the SureWalls system will come from significant reductions in the airborne silica dust created on most drywall jobs due to excessive sanding of walls. With a SureWalls installation, there is almost no sanding of patched screw holes (because there are nearly none) and any meaningful sanding of joints could only result from the sloppiest use of joint compound. In our own tests, we finished the SureWalls joints and seams with almost no sanding required to achieve a high level finish.
More Benefits - SureWalls' system, if you think about it, confers a myriad of other benefits by literally forcing drywall installation to be done right. Read more from the following links...

So many benefits at so little to no added cost to the wall construction. Shouldn't all walls be SureWalls?
