Sound Block can be combined with acoustical foams, mineral fiber, glass fiber, and ceramic fiber insulation to provide lightweight, efficient composites with high transmission losses over a broad frequency range. It is often used in walls under the drywall in home offices and industrial buildings to assist in suppressing noises.

Other suggested uses:

  • Very thin layer of sound blocking mass – For some floors or walls with tight space constraints, Sound Block offers a space saving solution over drywall for sound blocking.
  • Flexible source of mass – Sound Block products can be used to wrap columns or pipes, to line ductwork, or to fill gaps around doors and windows.
  • Temporary application or a portable source of mass – Sound Block products can be used as a portable sound blanket or noise control curtain.
  • Decorative curtains – Sound Block products can be sewn or heat laminated into window and wall coverings. Since the fabric blocks out light they offer energy saving in addition to reducing sound.
