Green Glue: increase insulation by 90%

 

Life in the city can really be regarded as a solution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Scientists have observed that flats and apartments consume 70% less energy than homes because they are smaller and have a much smaller surface area. However, living in apartment buildings has its own significant drawbacks, and among them almost the chief residents believe the noise coming through the walls, floor, and ceiling of next door apartments. That is why the material Green Glue may cause an increased interest among tenants of high-rise buildings: it reduces the transmission of noise through walls up to 90 percent.

Green Glue is applied in a layer between two sheets of any commonly used construction materials for walls. Due to the extremely low viscosity material can be applied from standard spray bottle, and compression of the leaves it spreads easily across the surface.





In fact, Green Glue has been designed with home theater installer who for seven years held the check of sound systems, especially at low frequencies. It should be noted that such soundproofing is not cheap: for a room of medium size will take from 3 to 5 standard tubes of glue, each of which costs about $ 160. And the material for the walls takes exactly twice – now for the wall will require not one but two sheet of drywall or other wall material. But, according to many, used the Green Glue, the game is worth the candle.





Traditionally, the existing technology of sound insulation are made of various materials with sound-absorbing properties, as wall cladding. However, such kind of inserts do not guarantee a sufficient level of isolation along the joints of adjacent structures, such as wall – floor, wall – ceiling, wall – wall. In contrast, Green Glue most fully fills the space between the wall panels, which virtually eliminates penetration of noise through the joints. In addition, this material is fireproof and has no negative impact on the environment because it does not contain formaldehyde.

Green Glue is recommended for use in both new construction and renovation or upgrade of existing residential, administrative and industrial buildings. published
