ACOUSTICAL & NOISE REDUCTION - RESIDENTIAL

Acoustical Insulation

Controlling sound and noise transmission through walls, ceilings, and floors can be a challenge in designing and building a project. UltraTouch offers an extremely high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) to effectively reduce airborne sound transmissions including traffic, airplanes, radio, television, and conversation. The cotton batts produce a 3D infrastructure that traps, isolates, and controls sound waves. The result is a quiet comfortable environment between rooms, walls, and floors. Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation provides maximum R-Value performance and maintains strong thermal protection. Further more, UltraTouch Cotton Batts are environmentally safe, mold resistant, class A fire rated, and easy to use.

Acoustical Applications

Our R8 Superior Air  Ducts® are cotton insulated.  The R8 cotton duct wrap is also extremely quiet.  STC (sound transmission coefficient) is an extremely important aspect of reducing sound transmission. 


Product Summary

(Click here for detailed information)

Celbar is a spray-applied insulation product for residential or commercial use. It is a blend of specially prepared cellulose fibers which are organic in nature and treated for adhesion and fire resistance. When sprayed in place, the interlocking fibers result in a mass which produces exceptional sound and thermal properties. As Celbar is applied to wall and floor/ceiling cavities, it forms a monolithic coating which seals cracks and holes in the wallboard, around plumbing and electrical outlets, vent ducts and other irregularities. This enables Celbar to significantly reduce the infiltration of air and sound, increasing the thermal and acoustic performance. A notable advantage of the Celbar system is its STC performance. Because of the monolithic coverage and sealing action, Celbar assemblies perform closer to lab-tested STC ratings in the field than conventional batt and sound board systems.

Celbar works by pneumatically spraying or pressure packing the material.  Used in a wall cavity, between floors or above ceilings of bedrooms, bathrooms and utility rooms can remarkably set you apart from other builders and remodelers.  Don’t forget popular home areas such as entertainment areas and theatre rooms.  Common walls of homes, multi-family dwellings, commercial office space, restaurants and metal buildings are just a few examples.

Celbar provides superior sound transfer control demanded by architects, designers, owners and occupants.  Celbar assemblies perform closer to lab tested STC ratings in te field than do other conventional batt and sound board systems. This is due to the complete coverage and the sealing action of celbar.  The performance of celbar compared to other identically constructed wall systems, as documented by laboratory tests is shown below.

The base system and results are as follows:

21/2" Metal Studs With 1/2" Gypsum Wallboard-both sides
TEST
RESULT
A. No sound Control material used 31 STC
B. 21/2" sound barrier batt 33 STC
21/2" sound barrier batt & 1/2" cellutex board 37 STC
11/2" Celbar Spray 49 STC

UltraTouch, Superior Air Duct products, Celbar and/or K-13 can be used in combination with each other to deliver the noise reduction and sound transmission and thermal problems often found in today’s homes and buildings.
