Does Spray Foam Insulation Reduce Noise?
With
either our open cell or closed cell solution you can be sure that our Empire
Spray Foam Insulation will provide the best noise reduction barrier as well as
a heat loss barrier.
Because Empire spray foam is a closed-cell, expanding
sealant, caulking large gaps between areas can stop the passage of sound, along
with stopping air, allergens, moisture, etc.
Reduce Airborne
& Flanking noise for Soundproofing
When
considered for structural soundproofing, insulation should be able to address
two main noise types:
·
Airborne Noise
·
Flanking Noise
Empire
spray foam insulation can reduce both. Empire’s open-cell, light-density spray
foam insulation has natural sound-absorbing properties which help soundproof.
What is Airborne
Noise?
Talking,
stereos, gaming systems, and televisions all contribute to airborne noise. By
filling and sealing every crack and crevice that these sounds can travel
through, Empire spray foam insulation can reduce the transmission of airborne
noise such as these.
What is Flanking
Noise?
The
sounds originating from within the walls, such as plumbing runs, are considered
to be flanking noise. Empire’s open-cell, light-density spray foam insulation
can muffle these sounds by sealing the whole way around the source.
By
sealing any air gaps, airborne transmission of flanking sounds are diminished,
creating quieter spaces uninterrupted by noises like flushing toilets or
running showers.
“You’re on your way to peace and quiet!”
