We have been very pleased with the way Acoustiblok has reduced sound
transmission between rooms in our monastery, where we value and try
to maintain a quiet atmosphere. We would defnitely recommend your
product.
It has been a pleasure to work with your sales staff. Thank you for an
overall positive experience with your company.

A night under the stars - especially in a planetarium - shouldn't include
unwanted sound effects. When a museum and planetarium with IMax theather
is next to a busy highway, Acoustiblok is essential for sound insulation. At
MOSI in Tampa Florida, Acoustiblok is used to exclude noise from the high traffic
4-lane road 50 feet from the building, and to isolate noise sources inside the
facilty from quiet areas.

At the new Ko'olani luxury condominium in Honolulu Hawaii,
Acoustiblok was built into the penthouse floors. The results
were so outstanding that the developer/builder has now
required that the Acoustiblok floor system be used in all units
having solid floors.

Grand Canyon Quiet Again
Stuck with 105 dB noise from an air intake head, Grand Canyon National Park
service personnel were truly in a bind. Massive amounts of air must flow, so
the intake could not have a restrictive housing.
Simple solution: Four Acoustiblok
All Weather Sound Panels™ Easily installed and preserving ease of access,
the AWSP solution provides an amazing 30 db noise reduction! "Works very well... can
not be distinguished from ambient noise of surrounding equipment." - Dave Welborn
To The Prospective Customers of Acoustiblok:
When we started looking at this product, I was on a short time
table and was not sure what I was looking for. We found
the customer service department to be great. They helped
get the information and the pricing to us for our project.
When it came to ordering and handling the product, they
out did themselves again. We could not be any happier and
looking forward to using them and their products again.

Shephards Beach Resort has a very popular chic nighclub called The Wave.
The club is jammed pack and the music is very loud (105dB). The guests
staying in the rooms above the club always complained about the vibrating
loud music penetrating into their rooms.
We decided to install
Acoustiblok inside the club to hopefully alleviate the complaints. Extra
measures were taken to ensure the highest abatement would be obtained.
Sound measurements were recorded before and after installation of the
material. The noise reduction was impressive, but more importantly, the
complaints from guests have stopped. If the material is installed
correctly, it really works.

A Happy Homeowner
I've got this big four-story-plus-basement town house in Washington DC.
It's 90 years old and accommodates me plus two girls and a boy between 11
and 15, my wife, two dogs and a cat. A recipe for chaos, right? YES. No
place to hide from the teenage skirmishing, the latest music, the latest
movies and all the associated hassles.
Four months ago in desperation I tore out the
basement to the four walls and within the space created my own personal
apartment. Thanks to careful and liberal use of Acoustiblok,
it's a refuge that's all but soundproof. Unbelievable.
Now, as I sit isolated in the evening with a glass of wine and a good book,
I know that upstairs on a couple of floors the usual mayhem is playing out.
From down here there's a murmur for background and that's it.
I smile quietly to myself. Thank you people, I've
regained a measure of sanity.
Best,
John Fielding
Schell Brothers has an excellent reputation of providing our homeowners
with quality construction and excellent customer service. One or our
premier projects is the Windswept Condos located in the Peninsula Resort.
Ensuring the Resort's tranquility and serenity be experienced in each
unit, Schell Brothers chose Acoustiblok for noise abatement. We have
installed Acoustiblok on the floor joist and walls. As builders we really
like how easy the material is installed compared to other products. It is
just very heavy! We built an A frame roller system enabling us to buy the
master rolls.
Although the project is still under construction, we were
amazed that the noise from chop saws, nail guns, compressors and blasts
were drastically reduced. Along with our other measures taken to reduce
noise, Acoustiblok has provided great results!

During our years as a dealer for Acoustiblok we have installed
Acoustiblok on various types of projects and all have been
successful. We have used Acoustiblok for treating walls, ceilings, and
floors, for wrapping pipes, isolating mechanical equipment and many
other creative applications. Since the product is pliable and easy
to cut our installation is very productive in most all
applications. Due to the proven effectiveness of Acoustiblok
treatments we always recommend your product when blocking sound
transmission is desired. We look forward to more projects as a
dealer with Acoustiblok in the future!

Our company specializes in the custom design of high-end dedicated home theaters.
Having the theater acoustically isolated form the rest of the structure and the outside
environment is a trademark of our designs. To achieve these results, we must use the
best materials and construction techniques available. Your products, including Acoustiblok
and Acousticaulk, are key components that give us the ability to obtain high levels of
sound isolation that our clients require.
In addition to the standard installation method demonstrated on your webiste, we also
use Acoustiblok in our acoustically de-coupled wall and ceiling constructions. This
technique actually helps to improve the sound within a dedicated listening space
while providing the ultimate in sound isolation.
Thanks for your great products and customer service.

We had a problem renting many units because of the noise
emanating from adjacent AC handlers and compressors located
on the roof of our main clubhouse facility. The Acoustiblok
All Weather Sound Panels worked as specified, and provided a
substantial DB reduction, saving us from moving the AC equipment
at great cost. The affected units are now all rented.

As a company, Acoustiblok is one of the few that backs its claims with hard
science. Their website is filled with useful information including
predicted results using various construction methods including resilient
channels and double walls. Without this information, choosing one technique
over another would be extremely difficult, as "trial and error" is not an
option in construction.
As a product, we have found Acoustiblok to be very effective. Our
storefront is on a major road, and our theater room had a thin wall with a
door and window. Road noise made the room unusable, with both midrange car
noise and the occasional low frequency truck sound. After installing a
false wall inside that wall, using Acoustiblok, the room is essentially
silent. Furthermore, since we built the wall in stages, we can say that the
before Acoustiblok wall was not nearly as effective as the one after
installation. The actual installation of the product does take two people,
but is otherwise quick and easy!

Although this project was not
our first time with installing Acoustiblok, it definitely
gave us the most exposure. We designed the home theater
for a house selected in the local “Parade of Homes”.
The room itself posed several acoustical challenges, but
with the assistance of the staff at Acoustiblok, we solved
them all. Another home also had a media room but was not
treated with Acoustiblok. Finally the day arrived for the
homes to be showcased. The reactions of the people streaming
through the homes were entertaining. Everyone that came
into the home treated with the Acoustiblok asked where the
home theater was located. They stated they could hear the
other home theater from out on the street. They were amazed
and impressed they could not hear the home theater in the
Acoustiblok treated home even though the theater was “booming”
continuously. The product works great. We will continue
recommending it in all of our projects.

Valle del Tamarindo condominium
San Juan Costa Rica
Located at Escazu, on the hills of the west side of San Jose, the most
exclusive vertical condominium to date is under construction. Valle del
Tamarindo is the name of the project and comprehends a 9 stories high
building which houses 12 condos and 2 penthhouses.
Each condo is 5.000 sq/feet, and the penthouses are 10.000 sq/feet,
constructions in 2 levels. The project houses the highest international
standards regarding construction, security and finishes.
Privacy is a very important issue, especially in 6 figure homes. Where
its vertical nature, masonry can not be used on all internal walls
due to weight and structural limitations. Costa Rica is a located in a
very active seismic zone.
The options considered common use construction materials in several
configurations with multiple layers or improving the simple gypsum wall with an
Acoustiblok liner. Once the developer considered the options, the labor
required for each configuration, and indirect costs, the best investment
choice considering soundproofing benefits was the Acoustiblok option. Acoustiblok
presented a STC52 rating in a very easy and fast way to do it.
Most of the bedroom and bathroom walls are considered critical and are
treated. Walls dividing kitchen and dining areas, as well as laundry
areas are commonly treated zones as well. Each apartment owner has also
added his choice for specific treatments: offices, gyms, dens, yoga
rooms, etc...
[ 10 dBA transmission loss = 50% reduction in audible sound ]
Attached are my preliminary results of the performance of the Tamarindo
Valley walls. Each wall is a composed by 1 layer of 1/2 inch gypsum, 3 inches metal
stud, fiberglass filling , 1 layer acoustiblok and the other gypsum layer,
sealed and painted. The walls run from the floor all the way to floor ceiling assembly of the
upper story.
Our firm feels really proud to be part of such a high end project and
having fulfilled the developers' requirements on such a sensitive topic.
Best regards,
Francisco Brenes.

I not only have sold 120 town homes with Acoustiblok in
Baldwin Park but I also live in one. The quality and efficiency
of Acoustiblok has helped me ease the concerns of all of my
buyers for an attached town home product. I have spoken with
various home owners that all tell me they are very happy with
the quality of the sound protection in between the units. I can
also personally attest to the quality of AcoustiBlok in my own
home. I have a surround sound system and I have asked my
neighbor repeatedly if they hear it and the answer is always no.
I definitely recommend this product.
Thank you,

The
noise and vibration from the trolley cars right outside my condominium
were unbearable. I am amazed with how well Acoustiblok worked!
Now my wife and I can enjoy peace and quite in our home.

Soundproofing* our car with Acoustiblok
made a BIG difference. We laid a
sheet of Acoustiblok on our car floor before we put in our
new stereo/CD
player. It really cuts down outside noise and makes listening
to music in
our car very pleasurable. We plan to use Acoustiblok in our
house when we
renovate. We are very happy with Acoustiblok soundproofing
materials-they
work great.
