How to Stop Sound

Sound is a form of energy that travels as a wave – when that wave hits a barrier as in a sheet of drywall, that barrier will vibrate and cause the air on the other side to vibrate, thus transferring the sound through the wall. There is no one-shot soundproofing technique that will stop noise in its tracks; rather we try to employ a combination of solutions to achieve solid performance.

Soundproofing Installation Instructions: Acoustical Pipe Lagging

Installation Instructions: Acoustical Pipe Lagging
(ANC-WB-21 and ANC-WB42)
1. Determine the circumference of the duct or pipe to be wrapped. Note additional length required to accommodate thickness of material. Add 2–4 inches overlap of product onto itself. (Note: Quilted Fiberglass side goes up against the Duct or Pipe)
2. Utilizing standard 54″ wide rolls, cut length as determined above.

What is soundproofing?

Soundproofing is defined as any method of reducing the ability of sound to travel between point A and point B, and is accomplished by the reduction of noise and the absorption of noise. A requirement in many professional recording studios, soundproofing is also becoming popular in residential structures, especially multi-family structures like apartments and condominiums wherein tenants share walls.

Acoustic Fabrics

Acoustic fabrics are simply versatile, easy to retrofit, cost-effective with outstanding noise absorption qualities Our acoustic fabrics can be wrapped on acoustic board and other panel materials like other fabrics you may find in the acoustic market. However, ours is developed to also uniquely be fitted to any solid wall and still achieve outstanding NRC values. The clear advantages of ANC acoustic fabric are its simple easy, installation and ability to retrofit in virtually any existing commercial space as well as it is inexpensive. Where speech intelligibility is critical, this fabric is an excellent choice for any conference room, classroom, commercial or office space.

Soundproofing

Soundproofing is any means of reducing the sound pressure with respect to a specified sound source and receptor. There are several basic approaches to reducing sound: increasing the distance between source and receiver, using noise barriers to block or absorb the energy of the sound waves, using damping structures such as sound baffles, or using active anti-noise sound generators.
