Prospec ® Composite Barrier

We are always excited to add new and innovative products for our customers to enjoy. Bringing you the safest, most effective and affordable noise dampening materials has kept SoundAway on the cutting edge, and that dedication has led us to an awesome new product for homes and offices of any size. After doing our homework, we’re happy to introduce a new type of soundproofing material we feel will help you take your sound dampening projects to the next level: The Prospec ® Composite Barrier!

Prospec sheets are made of a 3-ply material that consists of a mass loaded vinyl barrier surrounded on either side with a willtec fire-resistant melamine foam and another willtec foam decoupler layer designed for the very best in noise dampening for walls, floors, ceilings, and all types of loud heavy machinery. This material installs quickly and easily fits into tight spaces and awkward configurations.

The innovative design makes Prospec barrier a much more versatile material than ever before! While this material can be placed out of site, it can also be hung like a curtain to separate conference rooms, cafeterias and gymnasiums, factory floors, and so much more for a wide range of frequencies. The material is pliable and easy to work with and adheres to surfaces using an optional included adhesive tape on one side or using our acouSTIC foam adhesive.

This is a LEED Green Certified material which means that it is designed with sustainability in mind, is safe for the environment, and will not irritate those with allergies or chemical sensitivities. This material will not decompose over time or emit toxic gases in the event it is exposed to flames or high heat. Prospec Composite boasts a Noise Reduction Coefficient of up to 0.85 with a Sound Transmission Class of up to 28.

Prospec Composite is so versatile and easy to use that it manages to be perfect for applications ranging from home and office to commercial and industrial. Combining mass loaded vinyl with willtec acoustical foams with the benefit of decoupling puts Prospec in a class all its own. Buy with the pressure-sensitive adhesive for easy hanging or go with foam adhesive where necessary to create the perfect noise dampening solution in minutes on even the most conservative budget.

The Best Barriers for Noise Reduction

When it comes to reducing noise in your home or office, the options can be confusing. Noise reduction materials are designed for a wide range of applications and making the right decisions can mean the difference between success and failure. You’ll need something that looks great, lasts for years, and fits into your budget. So, we’re going to go through a few of our favorite sound reducing products you can use to make the most of your home or work space.

MassLoaded Vinyl

Mass loaded vinyl sheets are a great solution for walls, ceilings, floors, and enclosures of all kinds. This material has a high STC (Sound Transmission Class – the unit of measurement for sound barrier materials) across a wide range of frequencies and comes in either 1/8” or 1/4” thickness. When used for flooring, adding a carpet underlay will slightly increase the STC upon installation. We carry mass loaded vinyl sheets and rolls with a durable pressure-sensitive-adhesive that will easily stick to virtually all cleaned surfaces. Don’t forget to use our vinyl seam tape to prevent noise leaks between MLV sheets and other surfaces.

UltraQuietAcoustic Cotton Panels

Our UltraQuiet acoustic cotton panels are perfect for large rooms including churches, theaters, conference rooms, and gymnasiums. These panels made from recycled cotton fibers greatly reduce reverberations using environmentally friendly “green” materials that are LEED Certified. These acoustic panels are Class A fire-rated and perfect for anyone dealing with allergies or chemical sensitivities. We offer a wide range of sizes and colors from which to choose your favorites and we have thicker acoustic bass traps for blocking those lower frequencies.

UltraTouchDenim Insulation

UltraTouch denim insulation is one of the safest and most effective wall insulations you can buy! UltraTouch denim insulation is also LEED Certified, meaning it is environmentally safe and contains no formaldehyde, fiberglass or chemical irritants of any kind. It is made from recycled denim fabrics transformed to greatly reduce noise while also improving heating and cooling efficiency. The thick, three-dimensional structure traps and isolates sound with an STC of 45. This amazing insulation will last for years and is easy to install.
