You may be looking into Soundproofing in Toms River to help keep unwanted noise out of a building or because you want to keep sound in a certain area of the structure. No matter what you are trying to accomplish, Shore Insulation Inc. will provide you with the service you need to accomplish your soundproofing goals.

If you have looked into the materials that are used in soundproofing, you have learned that you have a few options. You could opt for either fiberglass batts or blown cellulose. Learning about each of the options will help you make a final decision about what will better soundproof the area that you plan to do.

Before you can fully understand the research behind soundproofing tests, you must learn a little about how the results are determined. Measurements using the Sound Transmission Class are used to classify the level of sound that can pass through a wall, ceiling or floor. Walls that do not have any insulation in them are only rated at 35 STC. Walls insulated using fiberglass batts are rated 39 and with cellulose 44 STC. This should give you a general idea of which option will give you the best end results.

If you really want to deaden the sound in an area, it is obvious that blown cellulose will be your best option by far. It will fill in any gaps in the walls, ceilings and floors that the batts of fiberglass insulation will leave. Even the best insulation contractor will not be able to install batts in a way that will fill every inch of space like the cellulose will.

Cellulose insulation is used in both residential and commercial settings and has been found to be a safe product for use. You will not only benefit from the sound deadening quality of this product, but also from the insulating factors. You will reduce the amount of energy it takes to heat and cool the home if you choose to have the cellulose blown through all exterior walls, ceiling and floor.

You should now be in a better position to make your choices about Soundproofing in Toms River. Consider the options and choose what you think will work best for you.
