Acoustical Solutions Offers New Firestopping/Soundproofing Products

February 09, 2007

Acoustical Solutions is proud to offer the largest line of firestopping products available from a soundproofing and acoustics company. In addition to Firestop Putty, Acoustical Solutions is now carrying Firestop Pillows, Electrical Box Inserts and Elastomeric Sealant.

Firestop materials serve two primary purposes - they reduce sound transmission between rooms, and they block the spread of flame and smoke through the small spaces in a building. These products are appropriate for use in residential, commercial and industrial settings.

In terms of sound reduction, firestop materials work well to seal off the tiny spaces in walls, floors and ceilings through which sound travels. A 1% opening in a wall will reduce the effectiveness of that wall's soundproofing by 50%.

Products such as Firestop Putty Pads work well to protect switch and outlet boxes from high temperatures and flames. Firestop Putty is a soft, pliable material that does not require the use of tools for installation. Aside from square putty pads, Firestop Putty is available in tubes that allow for simple installation through pulling a piece off of the tube and packing the material into an opening. All firestop materials are suitable for use in new construction as well as retrofit applications.
