soundproofing insulation
Lehigh Valley Insulation has been installing sound material around bathrooms, laundry rooms, home theater rooms and master bedrooms with much success and customer satisfaction.
Consumers are always looking for ways to “soundproof” their homes and diminish unwanted noises from the inside as well as the outside. Minimizing sound transmission through the walls and floors can be accomplished by using loose fill, blown-in fiberglass or unfaced fiberglass sound batting. Using soundproof insulation for walls, completely filling the partition cavity, is an ideal solution to this annoying problem.
Thermafiber Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets (SAFB) are the best way to stop sound in wall and floor-ceiling assemblies. SAFB are manufactured from slag, a by-product of iron-ore reduction and naturally occurring rock. Because of this composition, Thermafiber SAFB is a highly fire resistant insulation. Thus many of the systems this product is used in have high fire ratings as well as sound ratings.
A fire test conducted according to ASTM E119 test procedure showed that Thermafiber insulation remained intact at temperatures in excess of 2,000°F for 5 hours. Tests prove that Thermafiber SAFB is the best performance value for multi-family residential projects, hotels and motels, offices and retail businesses. The mineral fiber blankets are resilient enough to fit around obstacles, yet are rigid enough to stand up well in stud cavities.
