Exterior walls are one area where upgrading or adding insulation can make a big difference in the homeowner’s comfort and energy use
Sound Dampening
- With most interior walls being hollow and without insulation, sound easily can travel from room to room.
- In a home where a bedroom is located near a busier space such as a television or activity room, the bleed of sound can be more than an irritant – it can impact how you use your home.
- By installing wall fill insulation, movement of sound from room to room is decreased resulting in a quieter home, and providing some additional energy savings.
Sound dampening is achieved by installing loose fill insulation, the movement of air and noise is stopped, creating quiet and peaceful spaces in even the busiest homes.
For sound dampening we recommend Insul-3 rock wool insulation from US Fireproofing.
In addition to the thermal protection offered by other types of insulation, Insul-3 also offers fire protection for interior walls and ceilings. INSUL-3™ mineral fiber insulation is an ecologically sound product made from sustainable products and recycled materials. Insul-3
- contains no asbestos, formaldehyde, or chemical additives
- is non-combustible, moisture-resistant and non-corrosive
- will not decay or breakdown
- will not sustain mold, mildew, or fungus
Have an existing home? No problem. Sound dampening is not limited to new home construction. It can easily be installed in existing homes, addressing sound issues that homeowners notice after living in their home for some time.
