Soundproof foams

 

 A lot of folks get soundproof foam confused with acoustical foams. I am going to explain the differences. The Soundproof foams  such as our America mat foam is a closed cell foam, which means the foam has pours but the pours or cells are closed and therefore the sound would be both absorbed and blocked if you use this foam. When you are talking about an acoustical foam you are generally talking about an open celled foam where the sound is absorbed into the foam, but the foam has no ability to block sound or to soundproof anything. Open cell acoustical foam is used in studios to reduce the echo and reverberation in the live room. It stops the reflective sounds from bouncing off the walls floor and ceiling. The Closed cell foams do stop reflective sound to a degree both they are mostly designed to block sounds from getting out or coming in to any given area.

Closed cell foam are used is a wide variety of applications from Soundproofing water pipes in a wall to soundproofing a car or a boat or even and aircraft. The America mat closed cell foam is fire retardant and will withstand temperatures up to 260 deg Fahrenheit. America mat is used to soundproof generator compartments on motor homes of class C RV’s  The America mat is also used in building applications  such as stopping the sound transmission of recessed lighting in a ceiling assembly. It can also be used to line stud and joist cavities and will seal these cavities and isolate the cavity from the rest of the structure. In other words, if a stud cavity is lined with the America mat even in the ¼” variety it will seal off that cavity and add to the soundproofing by creating a sealed dead air space.

 Lastly, the America mat closed cell foam in the 2” thick variety can be cut to fit into a window cavity and would act like a cork in a bottle to soundproof the window. If you would like to learn more about the America Mat closed cell foam, call the pro’s at Soundproofing America inc, they will be glad to help you. This is dr, Bob, Adios!
