Discussion about
Has anyone used this product for sound insulation? All comments appreciated. Ease of use, effectiveness, etc. Thanks.
This isn't something made in China and sold by Lumber Liquidators, is it?
I beleive it is a Canadian product. It is a closed cell slow rising foam insulation.
I have actually specified commercial series of Tiger Foam for sound insulation of a ceiling within a Co-Op parking garage. I would recommend that you speak with a Tiger Foam distributor to determine the correct formula for your requirements.
As always, make sure that you have an experienced vendor install the system. Installation quality will make-or-break the sound attenuation properties.
Bertog – Did it work? Who did you use? Where did you purchase it?
I did speak with the vendor/salesperson regarding the product. He indicated that the product was easy to use… a DIY type project. I am having the handyman in my building do it. He’s very good and knowledgeable, but has never worked with this product or even heard of it until I proposed it as a solution for the elevator noise/vibration that passes through a common wall. He went to the vendor’s website and doesn’t think it will be a problem. (He’s worked with other foam insulation.) He also said to order it online, $145 shipping. He didn't know of any distributors in the metro area.
Has anyone else heard of or used this product.
Thanks
Remember that you there is no universal solution to sound proofing. There are different products for different types of noise, based on the decibel rating. See the following URL for the EPA document "Quieting in the Home".
