Acoustic Foam

Sound Insulation

You may have thought about insulating your home or improving its existing insulation. You, like many others, are probably fed up with spiraling energy costs.  Perhaps you simply want to make your home more comfortable during the harsh winter months or during an oven-like summer.  But a different kind of insulation can improve the quality of your home as well.  For sound insulation in any room and for any reason, acoustic foam can make a world of difference.

Not to be confused with insulation that has fire retardant qualities, acoustic insulation is specifically designed to dampen and/or eliminate sound waves.  If you are having a home built and you place a premium on quiet, whether it be for a media room or a buffer for a peaceful night’s sleep, you should consider acoustic foam for your interior walls in addition to traditional energy-saving insulation.

Although neither acoustic foam nor acoustic batt insulation is fire resistant like their home insulation counterparts, there are chemicals that can be sprayed on the material to make it more resistant to fire. However, this is only a partial safety measure and should not be considered a complete solution.

Using acoustic foam will help you control noise pollution regardless of the venue.  It’s designed to absorb sound so that the noise that penetrates does not escape.  It doesn’t matter if you are a musician looking to sound proof a studio or a business owner who is trying to reduce sound reverberations in a large work space.  Either way, acoustic foam insulation will have an incredible impact on noise reduction.

If you are hoping to create a professional sound studio, you should consider hiring a professional.  But if you are just hoping to set up an amateur in-home studio or you just want to insulate your home and rooms against both exterior and interior noise, installing acoustical insulation can be a fairly simple DIY project.

Do your best to fit the insulation as tightly as possible so as to close of all gaps that might allow sound entry.  For bedroom walls, it might be easier and faster to install acoustic batt insulation.  For the hard-to-get-to nooks and crannies, you would be well served using acoustic foam insulation.  Finally, if you have a raised foundation, you can use either type of insulation for the floor.

It really is quite simple to reduce or eliminate unwanted noise.  Get started now on your own acoustic insulation project -- you’ll immediately appreciate the new found peace and quiet.
