Frequently Asked Questions
How much coverage do I need for soundproofing?
Plan for a 2 to 6 inch overlap between blankets and at least 2 feet of coverage beyond the noise source on each side to reduce noise leaks.
Full enclosure: Maximum noise reduction. Surround the entire noise source on all sides, including overhead, if needed. Best for regulatory compliance, neighbor complaint elimination, and critical applications.
Partial enclosure: U or L shape coverage. Surround the noise source on 2–3 sides, leaving access areas open. Best for most commercial applications, balanced performance, and cost.
One wall: Targeted coverage. Place acoustic barriers only between the noise source and the area you want to protect. Best for budget-conscious projects and specific problem areas.
