Environment-friendly Acoustic wall panels offer better sound quality and savings

As an eco-friendly option to common materials used in the acoustic wall panels, completely recycled cellulose-based insulation offers better sound quality and savings in respect to other materials like cotton or fiberglass.

Cellulose based acoustic solutions for recording studios are made completely or recycled paper and are relatively cheaper to create. The primary material used in these panels can be manufactured without anything going to waste. Cellulose based products are also made of recycled paper like cardboard or newspapers, making it multiple times more biodegradable and reasonable in respect to most materials. Other than these, it takes less energy and fuel to create these items.

Speaking of safety and simplicity of installation, cellulose based acoustic wall panels and insulation is also highly rated. This material fulfills more fire and building code requirements and has no harmful particles or chemical irritants, which can be detrimental if inhaled. It is also simple to manage, and needs no special equipment to install, making DIY projects simple.

In respect to fiberglass insulation or soundproofing through anechoic chambers, cellulose based acoustic panels are better for enhancing the sound absorption and lessening the existence of outdoor noise in rooms due to the density of the cellulose fibers present in the panels. Moreover, cellulose based acoustic treatments are also eco-friendly. Unlike the cotton products, which are the original choice of environment conscious customers, cellulose based paneling is treated with fungicide, which is a formula that resists the growth of mildew and mold.

Cellulose based acoustic solutions for recording studios outlast its counterparts in respect to sound quality, safety and for meeting eco-friendly standards. It is the apparent choice of ecologically aware people who desire top quality acoustics and sound without the expensive price tag.

A basic understanding of STC rating is an integral ingredient in the right planning and design of any room or public space. If you are worried about sound transmission from one room to another, STC ratings are the tool that is used to measure the efficiency or ability of a soundproofing system or material or to achieve your goal.

The rating is an average and the performance will vary in the range of frequencies considered by the STC. We have to analyze the soundproofing efficiency by tested frequencies not the overall average. If we want real data of soundproofing performance ratings, we require the actual test results for the frequencies below 125 Hz. These are hard to figure out but they are available from some manufacturers. Obviously, the products that don’t test well at these frequencies don’t publish them.

Get in touch with the manufacturer and request for the test data that is applicable to your application. They will have it. Take a look at the soundproofing performance of the products in the target frequencies of 20 Hz to 315 Hz before you invest your time and hard earned money on the system or material that simply won’t deliver.
