MODULE 3: MATERIALS

Soft materials

Soft materials

Materials that have the ability to absorb sound and reduce the loudness of sound.

Hard materials

Materials that have the ability to reflect sound.

Noise absorption fabric

A dimensional fabric that offers excellent acoustical properties, unmatched fade resistance, and a fire/smoke retardant rating; it is the most basic and common acoustical material.

Ceiling Baffles Noise

Polyurethane foam baffles that are the best solution for solving reverberation problems in any large space.

Melamine Wedges

Lightweight, porous, open-cell, acoustic melamine foam material designed for maximum sound absorption, especially in areas where a Class 1 Fire rating is required.

Egg crate

The most economical acoustical material, commonly used in spaces where noise control is critical, such as studios and recording rooms.

Acoustical Wall panels

Sound-absorbing panels that can be mounted directly to walls or ceilings using various adhesives or hook and loop fasteners, effectively addressing noise control issues with their powerful sound-absorbing properties.

Ceiling clouds

Highly effective treatment for reducing sound in ceiling areas, typically suspended horizontally.

Vinyl Barrier Acoustic Material

A material used to block the transmission of sound through walls, floors, and ceilings; it acts as a reflector rather than an absorber.

Barrier Composite & Soundproofing Foam Noise Control Material

Ideal for noise blocking and soundproofing walls, ceilings, or any openings; commonly used inside machine enclosures or industrial equipment.

Acoustic Floor Underlayment

Rubber-based acoustic floor material made from recycled rubber tires, used under laminate or engineered hardwood flooring.

Acoustic V-block

Pyramidal-shaped material ideal for extreme noise sources, low bass noise, impact noise, or anechoic sound chambers.

Acoustic Ceiling tiles

Great material for use in ceilings, providing sound absorption properties.

Pipe and Duct wrap

Material typically used to wrap noisy pipes and ducts, blocking the noise that transmits through the walls of the pipe or duct.

Bass Trap

Not an effective noise control material.

Door Seal

Rubber sealant used to create an airtight seal in doors.
