Insulation Facts for Sound Control
Quiet Comfort
A quiet home or commercial building is relaxing and serene - with a peaceful aura of quality and solitude. Homeowners realize that unwanted noise affects comfort, concentration, and behavior. That is why it is crucial to insulate the ceilings, walls, and floors with a material that effectively controls sound. The Hotel/Motel industry and office space within industrial plants can especially benefit from the superior sound control properties of cellulose insulation.

Put them to the test
Put Them To The Test! The best way to determine effectiveness is to conduct reliable, scientific tests. Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a laboratory measurement used to study the resistance of a wall, ceiling, or floor to the passage of sound. The higher the STC number, the more sound is deadened. The table below gives examples of STC ratings.
And We Have A Winner!
As you can see, testing shows that cellulose quiets a home or building better than fiberglass. The people occupying your particular structure, whether your home, hotel, or business will appreciate the difference every day - in every room!
Custom Fit or One Size Fits All?
Different installation methods dramatically affect how well noise is controlled. Fiberglass batts leave gaps and voids since they are cut and patched to fit the countless variations throughout a home or building structure. Cellulose completely fills the spaces in walls and ceilings that help carry sound because it is sprayed in and provides a custom fit around wiring, plumbing, and other obstacles. A Real Improvement For Every Home Whether your home is in the planning stages or built 100 years ago, Cellulose will help keep it quite improvement!
