Have you ever lived in an apartment complex with older construction? Trying to sleep or enjoy your favorite streaming service feels impossible when you can clearly hear the conversation about your upstairs neighbor’s recent trip to the Bahamas over everything else.
Striking the right balance between safe construction and peaceful living space is essential to your sanity. It makes all the difference in the world when you live in a busy home or have multiple units around you. Whether you’re building a new structure for residents or have a specialized outbuilding for recording your new streaming music, sound deadening wall boards are a vital investment.
What is a Sound Deadening Wall Board?
The point of sound deadening wall board is to reduce the number of soundwaves that typically travel between spaces. For example, a typical conversation between you and another person happens at 60 dB (decibels – the measurement of sound), while a vacuum cleaner or dishwasher might be as high as 80 dB.
Unlike the typical drywall installed in most buildings, soundproof board is engineered with denser, noise-absorbing materials specially designed to absorb or dampen sound waves and vibrations. If you can find soundproofing comprised of lightweight recycled fibers that boost energy efficiency in a living space – all the better.
How Do Sound Deadening Wall Boards Work?
Soundproofing material works in two specific ways. First, it blocks airborne noise like the voices from a busy restaurant kitchen or the endless acoustic stylings of a neighbor learning the guitar. Secondly, noise insulation can improve thermal efficiency. It reduces the transfer of heat or cold, so you save money on monthly energy bills.
You need to imagine how sound travels to understand sound deadening wall board better. Vibrations and sound waves typically travel through spaces, bouncing off of walls (what is known as acoustics). When you have soundproof board, that bouncing stops, creating spaces free from excessive noise.
Benefits of Quieture Sound Deadening Wall Boards
What makes our soundproofing material different is we lean into engineering design. You get the noise reduction and versatility needed to boost the tranquility of a living space, but also lighter weight material that is durable and easier to handle for building crews. These materials are made using sustainable materials that support a more eco-friendly construction practice, ensuring you are aligned with LEED credits and environmentally responsible goals.
All Quieture materials are GreenGuard Gold Certified, providing the independent testing you need to assure stakeholders and clients of low VOC emissions and zero off-gassing during acquisition. The result is an easy-to-install process using materials made in the USA.
Where is Soundproofing Material Used?
The beauty of Quieture sound deadening wall board is its versatility. Everyone from a private homeowner to a commercial construction company can leverage the many benefits of this material. Common uses include:
- Creating a quiet space around a newborn nursery for a busy family with other aged children.
