New Tape Provides Soundproofing to homes, buildings August 30th, 2005

Preventative Soundproofing for new Construction

(PRWEB) August 7, 2005 -- With all the new construction of subdivisions and office buildings springing up everywhere, why not take some preventative soundproofing measures during the construction phases of your new home of office building?

There is an easy and very economical way to add soundproofing to your new home or addition using a product from www.soundproofingamerica.com, called "stud and joist isolation tape."

This easy-to-use product is a tape that is 1 716" in width and can be taped to the joist or stud edge where the drywall screws to the stud or joist.

This tape actually isolates the wooden or metal structure from the wallboard itself and prevents sound transmission through the stud structure. One layer of the tape is all you'll need. It is extremely easy to apply and there are a variety of different applications for it.

If your stud and joists are 16" OC for example you could adhere a double layer of the tape to every other stud (32"OC) then only screw the drywall or wallboard only into the taped studs. This will make for less drywall to stud structure contact and actually gives you the same results as a staggered stud wall which is used in nearly all studio and home theater applications today.

This tape is very versatile and is inexpensive as well. The cost is $18.50 for a 100' roll of this remarkable tape.

This isolation tape should be mandatory in all multi-family dwellings. Call the Professionals at Soundproofing America when you're ready to begin any new construction. Thanks for reading about American Isolation Tape.

Southern Boating - Acoustical sound insulation February 21st, 2005

Engine noise is something most boat owners take for granted, but Acoustiblok is the easy way to change all that.
Looking like a thin sheet of rubber like fabric, this waterproof material is resistant to oil and grease, extremely flexible, easily cut and laid in place around corners, and can be stapled or glued into place.

Once in place, the company says it reduces sound transmission by 26db. What makes that impressive is the
fact that lead can reduce sound transmission by a maximum of only 20db.
Made with no lead or asbestos materials, Acoustiblok is environmentally safe and will not compress when installed beneath carpet. It can be installed anywhere sound levels are a concern, including along aft bulkheads, salon flooring, hatches or the interior of the engine room. Water proof, UV resistant and surpassing UL94 burn tests Acoustiblok may well be one of the easiest ways to dampen noise levels aboard a boat. Whether your vessel is an express cruiser or a passage making trawler, adding Acoustiblok insulation can make it quieter and thus a more pleasant place to be. Southern Boating. Source >>
