Acoustiblok®
comes in 54" wide rolls 30, 60, or 350' long and is easily
cut with a box knife and a straight edge. Stapling with
a tin roof cap is an easy method to attach Acoustiblok®
to studs, ceiling joists, or firing strips. For metal studs,
use self taping screws with tin roof caps. For floors, wood
or concrete, spot gluing is adequate. An air tight seal is
recommended. The best sound barrier is one that absorbs
the acoustic energy. Therefore, the best results are when
the product is left somewhat "limp" i.e. stapled to studs
before dry walling. Acoustiblok® also helps in
eliminating solid mechanical linkage between materials which
is a major contributor to noise transmission to other areas.
The best results if
you are in the planning stage is per illustration "A", staggered
stud with Acoustiblok®, laced air tight in between.

* The words "soundproofing" or "sound proofing" do not mean
100% sound elimination, which is impossible. Use the
supplied STC, IIC, and NRC ratings from independent lab test reports
to estimate the results of installing Acoustiblok® products.
