Blue Ridge Fiberboard is showcasing three new Soundstop acoustical shielding products that reduce sound transfer from room to room: Sound-Abate, Renovation, and Stomp.
Sound-Abate is designed for wall cavity applications to dampen sound and block noise by up to 75%, the company says. It provides a continuous sound barrier to curtail sound transfer through studs and the wall cavity. Made with recycled acoustical grade polymer, it also improves HVAC efficiency and is mold and mildew resistant. It also meets acceptance of the ASTM one-hour fire test and other ASTM recommended guidelines, including the thermal resistance minimum. Since it is easy to install, labor and production costs are greatly reduced.
Renovation was developed for retrofit wall applications. Installed with an adhesive – like wallpaper – it acts as a sound, air and moisture barrier to reduce noise from neighbor to neighbor, room to room and outside in. Having passed the ASTM fire and smoke test, it meets those interior standards and has an R value of => .3. The roll size is equal to 120 square-feet at 4’ x 30’.
Stomp is for floor applications under carpet, tile, vinyl, wood, laminate and resilient flooring, it is manufactured from highly engineered and recycled polymer sound abatement material primarily used in the automobile industry for the last 30-plus years. Unique to the industry, it is a minimum five times heavier than other underlayment and offers superior sound transmission and impact noise reduction. Mold and mildew resistant, it was tested and successfully meets a variety of ASTM standards. Booth W6686
