Product




   Product Description       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Acoustic Barrier / Panel
 
     Acoustic barriers or panels are rectangular, rigid or semi-rigid sound-absorbing devices. They are often lined up or stacked to provide an acoustic shield.
 
   Acoustic Curtain
 
     Acoustic curtains hang from a ceiling or wall to absorb and deaden noise.
 
   Ceiling Panel / Tile
 
     Acoustic ceiling tiles have material properties (and sometimes geometry) designed to absorb noise and reflect sound waves downward. They are typically standard-size tiles.
 
   Floor Matting
 
     Floor matting can be used to absorb sound. It often resembles standard matting and is used on hard, noise-reflective, floor surfaces.
 
   Soundproof Window
 
     Soundproof windows have noise attenuation properties.
 
   Soundproof Door
 
     Soundproof doors have noise attenuation properties.
 
   Acoustic Fence
 
     Fences with sound-absorbing properties can be used to absorb sound leaving an area (e.g., outside a factory) or coming into an area from external sources (e.g., along the perimeter of a residential area adjoining a highway).
 
   Acoustic Room
 
     Acoustic enclosures are set up and permanently situated as a room. Acoustic rooms are used with loud machinery, high-noise testing operations, and operations where outside noise must be kept to a minimum.
 
   Pipe / Duct Lagging
 
     Products are wrapped around a pipe or air duct to attenuate noise propagating to the ambient space.
 
   Composite Barrier
 
     Composite barriers are made of different materials to maximize sound absorption. They may include different materials through the thickness of the barrier and/or different materials at different spots in the barrier.
 
   Foam Sheet / Roll
 
     Acoustical foam is often supplied in sheets or rolls for installation along walls, panels, machine enclosures, etc. These products are designed to conform to the irregular shapes of the surface to be soundproofed.
 
   Baffle
 
     Baffles are panels or sections that are designed to be used in a staggered array to attenuate noise propagation.
 
   Compound (Trowel)
 
     Acoustic compounds are supplied in a form resembling a grout, tar or putty that can be applied with a trowel.
 
   Compound (Spray)
 
     Specialized acoustic compounds are applied by spraying them onto a surface.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted or specialized sound proofing products.

Performance and Size




   Noise Attenuation
 
     Noise attenuation is the reduction in sound pressure level (SPL) that an acoustic product provides. It is measured in decibels (dB).
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Noise Reduction Coefficient (if applicable)
 
     Noise reduction coefficient (NRC) is an average of a material’s absorption coefficients at a specified set of frequencies, typically 256 Hz, 512Hz, 1024 Hz and 2048 Hz. Absorption coefficients range between 0 and 1 (1 is total sound elimination), and are often evaluated at many frequencies in the audible range in order to create a performance curve for the material throughout the audio spectrum.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Thickness
 
     The thickness, if applicable, of the sheet, foam, barrier, etc.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Width
 
     The width (if standard) of the door, panel, enclosure, etc.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Height
 
     The height (if standard) of the door, panel, enclosure, etc.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Weight
 
     The full weight of acoustic product.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Features       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Architectural
 
     Products are designed with stylistic or architectural details to conform to the appearance of the facility.
 
   Flameproof
 
     Products are rated to resist or stop the propagation of flame. Typically, flameproof products carry a safety rating which indicates the test standard.
 
   Static Dissipative
 
     Static dissipative products are conductive in order to prevent the build-up of static electricity. They prevent unwanted high-voltage sparks or electrical discharge.
 
   Surface Convolutions
 
     The surface of the material or product has convolutions or similar geometries for redirecting noise and preventing uniform sound reflection.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Mounting       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Adhesive / Tape
 
     Adhesives or tape are used to mount the product to the surface to be treated.
 
   Spray / Trowel
 
     Products are sprayed on or applied with a trowel.
 
   Brackets
 
     Products mount with brackets and hardware.
 
   Free Standing
 
     Panels or barriers are free-standing units.
 
   Ceiling Attachment
 
     Products attach to the ceiling.
 
   Pipe / Line Mount
 
     Products mounts directly onto the pipe, hose, pneumatic line, etc.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary mounting style.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
