What is a soundproofing barrier?
Noise barrier or sound barrier products add mass to a wall, ceiling, floor, or enclosure serving as a highly effective soundproofing solution – at an affordable price.  Soundproofing barriers are typically installed directly on the studs or joists to reduce noise transmission between the source of the sound and the destination.
What is STC?
Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a rating assigned to a material or an assembly of materials representing the transmission loss or reduction in sound between the source and the target.  A standardized test, performed in an acoustics lab, measures the transmission loss between a Sound Source and a room.  Measurements are taken over a range of 6 different frequencies ranging between 125Hz and 4000Hz.  This frequency band covers the speech range.

Vinyl Sound Noise Barrier Installation Instructions

First, ask us about using a staggered stud or floating wall approach to your construction if possible. They apply the Vinyl Sound Barrier between the studs and sheetrock. Do not glue this directly to a wall for free standing. Its weight will require the reinforcement of another layer of wall surface to be screwed or nailed over it. Us staples of screws to temporarily hold it up until you get your next wall surface applied. Also a good product for laying on top of your ceiling tiles to “cap” the room with a sound barrier material.
