Noiseproofing Compound

The trend towards home offices has been steadily growing for more than a decade, but recent economic woes and a sharp hit to the job market are
making home offices more indispensable than ever.

But the most important thing about having a solid home office is to maintain productivity and creativity. And the best way to do that is by stopping noise.

The Green Glue Company’s primary product, Green Glue noiseproofing compound, helps a home office keep the noise out and the productivity in. Green Glue is an eco-friendly viscoelastic compound that is easily applied between layers of drywall to ensure best-in-class soundproofing at the lowest cost among competing products.

STC (or Sound Transmission Class) is the industry measurement system used to determine the degree to which a wall can stop sound transmission. The higher the STC level, the lower the amount of sound transmission and the quieter the room. Walls containing one layer of drywall typically register an STC level of 33-36. An application of Green Glue and an additional layer of drywall will improve the STC score to 45 or higher. Visit www.greengluecompany.com. HBM
