As the most cost-effective soundproofing material on the market, Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound has unique properties that work to dissipate the vibrations caused by sound waves as they travel through ceilings, walls and floors. Very simply, when used between two rigid layers of material, typically drywall, the Compound works to reduce the noise traveling from one room to the other. Unlike other soundproofing products, our Compound is ideal for reducing low frequency noise common with home entertainment and theater systems.
Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound has a unique polymeric formula that converts mechanical energy from sound waves into heat. When sandwiched between two rigid layers of material, it forms a damping system. The results can be dramatic: just one layer of Compound between two sheets of drywall can significantly decrease the amount of noise passing from room to room, across all frequencies.
Whether incorporated into a new build, used over existing drywall in a renovation or spec’d into a commercial construction project, the Compound can be leveraged to create a soothing environment for those in need of a quiet space. Regardless of the project, significant reduction of sound is well within reach both in effort and cost, and doable for DIYers, contractors and builders alike.
Material and installation considerations
Despite the Green Glue brand name, our Noiseproofing Compound is not a permanent adhesive and screw fasteners are still necessary. Use of the Compound can improve the sound transmission class (STC) rating by up to 12 points when sandwiched between a single additional layer of drywall and the first layer. Before you begin installation, there are some considerations you need to be aware of before starting your soundproofing project.
The Compound is designed to be used between two layers of standard building materials such as drywall, OSB, MDF, cement board, or plywood measuring at least 1/2 in (12 mm) thick. When working with Compound, avoid using the following materials:
- Sheet materials less than ½ in (12 mm) thick
- Wainscoting
- Any type of sheet insulation
- Fabric
- Cork, plastics, copper, bronze, zinc, MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl), flexible or plasticized materials
- Flexible, low surface energy, or non-stick materials
