Acoustical Foam

When choosing the right foam for your needs, the shape of the foam matters a great deal. Since studio foam used for acoustic control works by way of absorbing vibrations and echoes, the shape will affect the way these sound waves are received. We offer several shapes in acoustic foam to meet a range of needs with ease and affordability.

Wedge

This shape offers a professional appearance while supplying superior performance for your sound needs. With raised wedges available in various widths, this option for sound dampening foam is easy to install and offers a range of results. The width of the wedge will determine the results in terms of sound proofing an acoustic area with a 1-inch dimension delivering moderate results and the 4-inch wedge option supplying maximum sound absorption.

Pyramid

Operating under the same principle of sound bouncing off the raised foam of a wedge design, pyramid acoustic foam panels offer reliable soundproofing and a slightly different sounding acoustic than wedge panels. Since there is more foam in this option for soundproof foam, the waves will be that much more absorbed for better diffusion. Again, it is offered in several widths of pyramids with the larger pyramids offering more soundproofing than the smaller cuts.

Eggcrate

A staple thanks to the lowered cost, eggcrate is a great solution for businesses looking to save on their foam without compromising on performance. Often used with the added solution of acoustical cloth, eggcrate is a cheap acoustic foam available in varying sizes and features a rounded shape which absorbs sound evenly from all sides. This is one of the most affordable options for a soundproofing foam.

Wave

With their textured design and flat waves, wave foam is an attractive way to improve the acoustics of a space while getting sound dampening benefits. Compression cut for added accuracy and precision, this option for acoustic foam panels are easy to install with their interlocking design which makes them ideal for covering large spaces with ease.

Grid

The natural design of this option is slightly tilted to help achieve improved acoustics and sound absorption. Offered in cuts both with edges and without edges to meet a range of needs, this type of soundproofing foam helps to clarify bouncing sound waves for improved sound quality. With the more modern appeal of the appearance, this is a popular choice for studios and businesses looking for a polished vibe.

Spade

Offering a rippled appearance for a stylish solution without compromising on the function, this option for soundproof foam is ideal for a range of applications. Whether in a home media room or a professional recording studio, spade foam offers high-quality echo absorption. Sold in sets of 2 panels which are interlocking, this option for a reliable yet cheap acoustic foam is great for larger spaces looking to cover a lot of wall.

Sound Barriers

Used in a variety of applications, this foam choice is available in both rolls and sheets to meet your needs. Made from reliable materials such as neoprene or polyethylene, it features a smooth appearance which is pleasing to the eye while offering a consistent result in terms of absorbing and reducing sound waves. For a clean and attractive solution, this is the perfect option.

Absorbers

Sound frequencies can be tricky to completely absorb or block. With the use of absorbers, you can achieve a better result in rooms both small and large when dealing with low frequencies. Since lower frequencies tend to be longer and they carry further, the use of absorbers is a great way to combat this concern. Offered in shapes such as rectangle, cube, and male/female sets, these foam pieces are ideal for placement in the corners of rooms to absorb sounds.

Ceiling Tiles

Part of creating the best sound space possible is looking at the area as a whole. While many people will cover the walls with sound dampening foam, the ceiling is sometimes forgotten. This crucial area can be utilized to help improve function with our ceiling tiles. Available in both smooth and textured patterns, this type of foam can add extra sound dampening properties to any space.

Does foam help soundproof?

Foam is a great solution for sound treatments! It is designed to reduce noise by absorbing sound waves. Even though all foams listed here will help, thicker acoustic foam tends to dampen noise better than thinner options.

What is the best material for soundproofing?

Acoustic foam is the best material for sound absorption. In rooms where there is a lot of noise, or too much echo, acoustic foam will help control the sound and bring it down to a reasonable level. When looking for quality sound treatments, design can also be important. Wedge, pyramid and eggcrate foams tend to be more effective than foam with a flat surface.

How much does soundproof foam cost?

Pricing for acoustic foam can vary. Size, thickness and design can all have an effect on cost. Our acoustic foam starts at $10.00 USD, and increases based on the routes you decide to take.

How do you soundproof a wall cheaply?

Soundproofing a wall with foam is a great way to get the job done on a budget. The use of sound barrier sheets, like Neoprene, is affordable and easy to implement in any location. These sheets are the most effective way to help prevent sound from going through a wall.

Does soundproofing work for noisy neighbors?

Noisy neighbors can be a nuisance when you are looking for some peace and quiet. Whether the sound is coming from next door or from up above, applying acoustic foam or sound barriers to the walls and ceiling will help keep the racket out. This will also help keep the noises inside, in case you are concerned that you are the loud neighbor. Typically, a denser material will dampen sound better.

How do I soundproof a room for cheap?

There are a range of selections to soundproof a room on a budget. Acoustic foam panels, sound barrier sheets and corner blocks are all cost-effective ways to complete a project. Keep in mind that the best product for you will depend on the goal you are trying to achieve.

Can you soundproof a garage?

Soundproofing a garage is no sweat! Thicker acoustic foam can be used for the walls and ceiling to prevent echo. For the garage door, windows or other doors, sound barriers will help reduce the amount of sound escaping. To allow your garage door to continue opening and closing without issue, foam can also be custom cut to your specifics.

How can I soundproof my bedroom?

The first step to soundproofing a bedroom is knowing your final goal. If your goal is to block sound disturbances from coming or going completely, then dense sound barriers will be your best option. If your goal is to stop a sound from reverberating off the walls, acoustic foam will do the trick.

How do you soundproof a ceiling?

To soundproof a ceiling, you will first need to measure to figure out the amount of foam material needed. The next step is to pick the thickness and design that will make the most sense for your application.

When installing the foam panels, the easiest way to adhere the product to the ceiling surface is with spray adhesive. You could also staple or nail the panels, but keep in mind that those will be going directly into your ceiling, and could damage the foam material.

How can I soundproof a room without damaging walls?

The most shared method to apply acoustic foam is by using a spray adhesive. This, however, is a fairly permanent solution, and it may tear the paint off the walls if you decide to remove the panels later. To avoid this issue, it is common practice to apply the panels to wood or cardboard, and then anchor those to the wall. If you decide to remove those later, you will only have a few screw holes to fill.

How do I soundproof a room?

There are a number of possibilities when deciding to soundproof a room. A few of them include:

• Acoustic Foam Panels: These are available in a range of sizes, thicknesses and surface designs. They can be placed on walls and ceilings to help absorb sound. To maximize the effectiveness of your sound treatment, opt for thicker foam or surfaces such as wedge, pyramid or eggcrate.
• Sound Barriers: These are usually denser than acoustic foam panels, and they can be used where sound deadening is desired. They can also be used with other solutions on this list as an extra measure. Sound barriers are ideal for walls and ceilings.
• Corner Blocks and Bass Absorbers: These are great to add to the corners of a room, where soundproofing can prove more difficult. They are specially designed to help prevent the buildup of any lower bass reverberations in a room.

Can you soundproof existing walls?

The simplest solution for soundproofing an existing wall is to add foam to the walls. You can add acoustic foam panels, sound barrier sheets, or both to reduce as much noise and echo as possible.

Is there a difference between soundproofing and sound absorption?

There is actually quite a big difference between soundproofing and sound absorption. The goal of soundproofing is to prevent noise from leaving or coming into a room as much as possible. Sound absorption, on the other hand, is applying foam to absorb sound waves and prevent unwanted noise from bouncing around a room.
