Studio-grade Mineral Fiber Insulation is a special, denser type of insulation that the top studio designers are known to use to improve a room’s level of soundproofing. Its greatly increased density when compared to the traditional, pink, glass fiber insulation makes it more effective at stopping the transmission of sound from one room to another. Plus, our Mineral Fiber features a much higher burning point than standard fiberglass insulation and has a radically lower rate of moisture absorption. Our Studio-grade Mineral Fiber is available in 1", 2", 3" and 4" thicknesses in 2’x4’ sheets.

SheetBlok™ Professional Sound Barrier is our proprietary, limp mass, dense, vinyl sound barrier material available in 10’x4’ sections or 30’x4’ rolls. It weighs one pound per square foot (1 lb/ft²) and is about ?" thick. It is flame retardant, easy to install with plastic-cap nails, staples or trowel-applied multi-purpose vinyl flooring adhesive. We also offer SheetBlok-Plus which is the same as SheetBlok, except with a very strong peel-and-stick adhesive backing that makes installation a breeze. SheetBlok is safe, inexpensive, easy to work with, more effective, easy to cut with scissors or an ordinary utility knife and is FedEx shippable right to your door. SheetBlok is quite simply one of the best investments in good sound control that you will ever make. Other SheetBlok links:

U-Boats™ Floor Floaters physically decouple ("float") a floor without having to use rigid mechanical fasteners like screws (and without having to take out a second mortgage!). U-Boats make quick work of floating a floor at a price virtually anyone can afford. They are more cost-effective that the "pucks" that have been used in the past. Famous studios and recording artists are using them and loving them. Many multi-million-dollar studios and home-theaters-of-the-stars are floating on U-Boats and you have heard them at work on numerous chart-topping records. Other U-Boat links:

RC8 Resilient Channel is a piece of specially shaped metal to which gypsum board or other building materials can be mounted to isolate them from the framing members (studs) of a wall or ceiling. One leg of the Resilient Channel attaches to the stud, the other leg to the layer of building material being hung. This isolation helps improve the structure’s ability to achieve greater sound transmission loss. We sell RC8 in bundles of 24 that are FedEx shippable and are available through your favorite dealer.
