Sprayed Acoustical Insulation

Use this 3-part specification template to specify sprayed acoustical insulation, applied to wall and ceiling surfaces.

What is Sprayed Acoustical Insulation?

Sprayed acoustical insulation, also known as spray-applied acoustic material or acoustic spray, is a versatile building material designed for soundproofing and enhancing the acoustical properties of a space. Applied directly onto surfaces like ceilings, walls, and sometimes floors, this insulation significantly reduces sound transmission, making it perfect for creating quiet, focused environments.

The Benefits of Using Sprayed Acoustical Insulation

This type of insulation is particularly effective in settings that demand superior sound quality. It’s an ideal choice for:

  • Commercial Spaces: Improve speech clarity in conference rooms or reduce noise levels in busy workplaces.
  • Entertainment Venues: Enhance audience experience in theaters and auditoriums by controlling reverberation.
  • Residential Areas: Create a peaceful home environment, free from external noise disruptions.

Technical Specifications You Should Know

Insulation is available as treated cellulose or glass fibers, offering excellent sound absorption qualities. Applied to any solid substrate and comes with varying Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings, ensuring that you can choose the right level of soundproofing for your space. Additionally, its fire resistance properties add an extra layer of safety to your building.

The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is a standard measurement to indicate the amount of sound a material can absorb. It is a key factor in evaluating the acoustical properties of materials like ceiling tiles, wall panels, and other sound-absorbing products.

Installation and Aesthetic Flexibility

One of the most significant advantages is its ease of application to various surfaces for adapting to any architectural design. In some cases, the insulation can be left exposed.  Offering a unique texture and aesthetic to your space. For building code compliance, it’s essential to check whether the insulation needs to be covered with a non-combustible product, as regulations can vary.

Longevity and Maintenance

Sprayed acoustical insulation durable, and requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical and cost-effective solution for long-term use.

Making the Right Choice for Your Space

Whether you’re renovating an old space or building a new one, understanding the role of acoustical insulation in creating a comfortable environment is crucial. By choosing sprayed acoustical insulation, you’re investing in a product that combines functionality, safety, and aesthetic appeal.
