What are the areas of application for acoustic foam?

Acoustic foams are used to soundproof rooms and to improve the acoustics inside. It is possible to minimise or completely reduce noise that poses a nuisance. The insulation possibilities can be adapted perfectly to your needs. Foams vary in thickness and texture, and thus they have different properties. They are used in many industries.

Soundproofing of rooms with acoustic foams

The most well-known application of acoustic foam is the soundproofing of rooms. It is used for this purpose to soundproof apartments, offices, recording studios and dance halls. The second application of the soundproofing capabilities of foams is to reduce the noise generated by devices and machines. This improves the work comfort of people in the vicinity of loud machines. Another consideration is to reduce production noise that could disturb people in rooms that are not owned by the company that uses the loud machinery. For the same reasons, acoustic foams are used in the automotive industry. Smooth acoustic foams are best for soundproofing purposes. Foams are adapted to specific purposes by choosing different thicknesses. The thicker the foam, the greater the soundproofing.

Improvement of acoustics in rooms

Acoustic foams are also used to improve room acoustics. Pyramid-shaped foams are best suited for this purpose. Thanks to this shape, the foam diffuses and absorbs sound. It works in two ways: it dampens the room and reduces the reverberation. This is well proven in places where sound quality is very important. This type of foam is used in recording studios, places where music or film projects are carried out, as well as in listening rooms. Recycled foams are visually attractive due to being colourful. This means that they also can play a decorative role on soundproofed walls. This type of foam perfectly absorbs sounds from the outside. Feel free to contact us to get more information.
