Acoustic Fiberglass
Sound levels can get out of hand in our busy, industrial world. Machines rattle, car engines rev and people talk to one another. You can control noise levels in your environment with a simple and easy-to-use product — acoustic fiberglass panels.
Acoustic fiberglass panels are an excellent choice when you need to dampen sound and reduce unwanted noises like echo and reverb. Acoustic fiberglass panels are made to fit a variety of needs in finished buildings. They look great while giving your building better acoustic properties.
Learn more about why you should consider getting some fiberglass sound solutions of your own for your current needs.
Is Fiberglass Good for Acoustics?
Fiberglass is among the top materials for acoustics. It can make a noticeable difference in your home or office.
The secret is thermal isolation. Acoustic fiberglass is comprised of fine glass or plastic fibers. The fibers capture energy, including sound. Its absorbent properties make fiberglass a popular material for acoustic panels and insulation for soundproofing.
When a soundwave reaches an acoustic fiberglass panel, the interaction transforms the sound energy into heat. The fiberglass heat disperses inside the panel. As a result, soundproof fiberglass prevents noise from reflecting off its surface or passing through.
You can measure the acoustic performance of fiberglass according to its Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) on a 0-1 scale. A material with an NRC rating of one absorbs all sound energy that it touches, while a material with a score of zero reflects all noise. A score between zero and one reflects a percentage of sound absorption — 0.5 equates to 50%, 0.75 is 75% and so on.
What Are Fiberglass Acoustic Panels?
Fiberglass acoustic panels are sheets of fiberglass that are usually 1-2 inches thick. The panels prevent sound from reflecting off of hard surfaces, especially walls.
Hanging a fiberglass panel in the path that sound travels through will soften echoes and reverberations, creating a more peaceful environment. You can use fiberglass acoustic panels in any residential or commercial setting ranging from music studio sound treatment to industrial noise control.
