Acoustic Cotton Features and Benefits

One of our most cost-effective sound insulation materials, Echo Absorber™ panels and baffles effectively dampen low, middle and high-frequency sounds as well as — or better than — other higher priced man-made materials. Cotton sound insulation is lightweight and offers superior acoustic properties, particularly in areas where loud echoing is common.

Acoustic cotton is an excellent choice if you are looking for a building code-friendly acoustic soundproofing material that can be installed permanently or temporarily in a variety of oddly shaped spaces. Our product is made of flexible natural fibers that are fungi-, mold-, and mildew-resistant as well as Class A™ flame-resistant, ensuring they will meet even the strictest building code requirements while delivering long-term performance and durability.

Echo Absorber™ acoustic cotton panels are an environmentally friendly choice, too. Our product is made from a minimum of 80% recycled materials, cutting down on waste. As well, it’s completely VOC-free and contains no fiberglass, formaldehyde or other potentially harmful substances. This makes it a great choice not only for industrial applications but also for environments such as office buildings, classrooms and other spaces where long periods of exposure are common.

Applications

Echo Absorber™ cotton acoustic paneling is perfect for call centers, offices, conference rooms, gymnasiums, theaters, studios, computer rooms and auditoriums, as well as manufacturing, industrial and warehouse facilities. Its high density means it excels at stopping ambient echoes and reverberation, though it can also be installed inside wall paneling to prevent sound transfer.

For heavy-duty applications where maximum sound deadening is required, our 2” thick panels deliver an average noise reduction coefficient of 1.00. A 1” thick version is also available for less-demanding applications. Visit individual product pages to view detailed specifications.

Echo Absorber™ cotton paneling is easy to cut to size and install in any application, making it a great choice for both DIY and professional projects. Be sure to purchase a tube of our PL® premium construction adhesive when you place your order!

Acoustic Cotton Panels Help Reduce Reverberation

What’s more annoying than an echo? The answer is easy — reverberation.

The principle of reverberation is simple to understand. As sound bounces off surfaces, a single echo multiples. These echoes cause a constant cacophony of sound, which most people consider noisy.

Free Acoustic Analysis

Take the case of a busy call center. Without soundproof materials like cotton sound absorption panels, every representative’s conversation contributes to the room’s noise level. If all the phones ring and everyone talks at once, no one can concentrate. The noise level would wax and wane throughout the day, affecting productivity levels and customer privacy.

Natural cotton fiber soundproofing absorbs ambient sounds immediately to help reduce the problem of reverberation. When sound waves meet the cotton fibers, the waves stop and no longer reflect around the room. In other words, no echo is produced. Without an echo, there aren’t any annoying, loud reverberations — just manageable noise levels.

About Kellen Beaver

Soundproof Cow Representative Kellen

Kellen has been a member of the sales team for over a decade. Prior to delving into the soundproofing realm, he was a jack of all trades in the service industry, working both front and back of the house jobs to various degrees. This diversity in experience makes it easy to relate to the needs of a large customer base. He understands noisy environments as well as the importance of aesthetics in a space. Adding something that doesn’t fit the look can be intrusive, so knowing that acoustical needs must fit the interior design is something he’s become very well-versed in. Most of this planning comes from working with both the owner/operators as well as their design team and architects. He has been able to adapt his knowledge in the restaurant industry into projects involving schools, office buildings and large medical facilities when the situation calls for it.
