Noise is unwanted sound that is transmitted by vibration through air, walls, floors or ceilings. Unfortunately, most walls and ceilings in today's homes are only marginally effective at blocking noise. More and more homeowners are looking for ways to "soundproof" their homes to diminish unwanted noises from both inside and outside the home. Installing our soundproofing and acoustical materials not only increases the comfort of your home but also adds to its value.

Noise is Measured in Decibels (dB)
Whispers	approximately 20 dB
Normal Conversations	approximately 60 dB
City Traffic	approximately 80 dB
Lawn Mowers / Leaf Blowers	approximately 103 dB
Repeated exposure to sounds over 85 decibels is considered dangerous to hearing, and the louder the noise, the less time it takes to damage hearing.

An STC value is a single number rating used to characterize the sound insulating value of a partition (wall, floor, or ceiling). A partition prevents sound from being transmitted from one area to another. The higher the STC rating, the less sound will be transmitted through the wall, floor, or ceiling.

Sound Transmission Class (STC)	Sound Transmission Performance
56 & Up	Excellent
46 to 55	Very Good
36 to 45	Good
26 to 35	Marginal
15 to 25	Poor
