Lawsuit in Arapahoe County Colorado Could Have Been Prevented With Soundproofing Products from American Micro Inc.

Soundproofing products from American Micro Inc. could have prevented the lawsuit awarded to condominium owners in Arapaho County, Denver, Colorado.

(PRWEB) July 7, 2005 -- A verdict handed down in Arapahoe County District Court in Colorado this past week is sending shockwaves to builders and developers involved in high-density housing. In the case of Kevin Williams v. BCORP, et al, a jury awarded a total of $550,000 to condominium owners who sued over the lack of soundproofing between units. Within hours of the article, appearing in the Rocky Mountain News Thin walls, noisy condos bring $550,000 verdict," Wednesday, June 29, 2005, American Micro Industries received phone calls from builders looking for solutions to prevent similar complaints about noise.

Proper design and construction including the use of sound barriers such as American Micro Industries QuietBarrier or EconoBarrier for walls and ceilings and Quiet Walk for impact noise can prevent this kind of litigation. Many architects and contractors mistakenly rely on thermal insulation for soundproofing. These products do not have the physical characteristics to block sound like QuietBarrier, EconoBarrier, or Quiet Walk.    

Sound barrier products like QuietBarrier, EconoBarrier, and Quiet Walk Floor should not be confused with acoustic absorbing materials like ceiling tiles and acoustic foams. Absorbing materials are designed to improve the quality of sound within a room not preventing sound from leaving or entering a room. American Micro Industries has acoustic products to create pleasant environments in which to enjoy entertainment and conversation, but they do not block sound.

Providing soundproofing for condominiums, homes, or apartments can assist marketing these properties and provide homeowners with resale value. The lawsuit has put an exclamation point on the fact that quiet residences are not a luxury but something to which each homeowner is entitled.
