SOUND CONTROL
Wood Frame (Residential and Multi-family Construction)
Identify interior walls, floors, or ceilings which border areas that need to be
isolated from other areas of the structure. Determine the width of insulation
needed by measuring the typical distance between framing in each of these
areas (usually 15" or 23").
• Install EcoBatt 3½" (R-11) unfaced or kraft-faced insulation between
all framing members bordering this area. Friction-fit unfaced insulation
or install kraft-faced batts. Faced batts may be stapled to the studs, if
desired.
• Cover faced insulation with an approved finish material (i.e. gypsum
board).
Metal Frames
Identify interior walls or ceilings which border rooms or common areas that
need be isolated from other rooms or common areas.
Partition Walls
• Friction fit one side of 3½" (R-11) unfaced EcoBatt insulation into the
metal C-channel and butt the other side against the metal stud. Install
insulation to cover the full height of the wall.
• Cover with an approved finish material (i.e. gypsum board).
Acoustical Ceilings
• Position either 3½" or 6¼" unfaced EcoBatt batts over the top of
acoustical lay-in ceiling panels or metal pan ceilings. EcoBatt unfaced
batts should only be used in conjunction with fire-rated ceiling products.
