Sleep deprivation, increased stress levels and your overall quality of life can be linked to unwanted noise in the home. Sound control measures begin with your choice of insulation. Icynene®'s acoustic properties help reduce noise levels that originate from within your home (like home theaters and children's play areas) as well as those that originate from your external environment (such as street traffic or airports). To ensure your home is a haven of peace and quiet, minimize the transmission of airborne and flanking sound by using Icynene® to seal small openings such as cracks around doors and electrical outlets. Icynene® is also ideal for minimizing noise originating from plumbing pipes within your walls. Running water can cause the piping behind walls and above ceilings to vibrate and transfer that sound into the structure of the house. Icynene® is a flexible, open-celled material that can be applied around these pipes to dampen the vibrations and reduce structure-borne noise.
