DOES SPRAY FOAM INSULATION REDUCE NOISE?
The world can be loud and obnoxious. Thankfully Spray foam insulation is a great way to reduce noise and sound from your commercial buildings, warehouses, restaurants, or office.
Are you surprised?
Spray-on foam treatments are excellent for sound control. They have the same properties that make them such great air barriers, i.e., they act as insulators for cold and heat. These sound control solutions will keep noise at bay and increase energy efficiency, structural support and overall building comfort.
Win-win

We are happy to discuss with you a noise reduction plan and help you determine the best insulation products for you.
K-13 Acoustical and Thermal Insulation
This insulation is made from spray foam that has been chemically treated with natural fibers. This insulation is resistant to fire, mildew, and mold. The adhesive is patented and can be applied easily. It creates a carpet-like texture. This insulation is often used in gyms and parking garages.
Acoustical Treatment “FC”
Sprays that are made up of fibers and adhesive are used for this treatment. The thickness can vary from 1/2″ to 1″. It is one of the best methods for sound absorption. Spray foam can be used in many areas, and on different types of projects, including those with different surfaces. It can also reach places where stretch fabrics or panels are not possible. Spray foam is easy to adapt to any surface, so you’ll often see it used in vaults and corrugated decks or domes that require soundproofing.
URE-K
This type of sound insulation is also known as a thermal barrier. It can be used over foam in commercial buildings. It can be used as a protective coating on top of the foam in new construction projects. National code bodies and insurance companies have approved this product. Spray foam can be used to fill in cracks and crevices in walls to improve sound control.
