New Tape Provides Soundproofing to homes, buildings

Preventative Soundproofing for new Construction

(PRWEB) August 7, 2005 -- With all the new construction of subdivisions and office buildings springing up everywhere, why not take some preventative soundproofing measures during the construction phases of your new home of office building?

There is an easy and very economical way to add soundproofing to your new home or addition using a product from www.soundproofingamerica.com, called "stud and joist isolation tape."

This easy-to-use product is a tape that is 1 716" in width and can be taped to the joist or stud edge where the drywall screws to the stud or joist.

This tape actually isolates the wooden or metal structure from the wallboard itself and prevents sound transmission through the stud structure. One layer of the tape is all you'll need. It is extremely easy to apply and there are a variety of different applications for it.

If your stud and joists are 16" OC for example you could adhere a double layer of the tape to every other stud (32"OC) then only screw the drywall or wallboard only into the taped studs. This will make for less drywall to stud structure contact and actually gives you the same results as a staggered stud wall which is used in nearly all studio and home theater applications today.

This tape is very versatile and is inexpensive as well. The cost is $18.50 for a 100' roll of this remarkable tape.

This isolation tape should be mandatory in all multi-family dwellings. Call the Professionals at Soundproofing America when you're ready to begin any new construction. Thanks for reading about American Isolation Tape.
