How The Eco-Friendly Compound Can Improve Acoustics In Your Next Job

Green Glue is a noise proofing solution intended for use in the construction and renovation of single- and multi-family homes, commercial properties and hotels, home theaters, and other entertainment spaces. The eco-friendly viscoelastic compound is designed for use between layers of standard drywall to ensure sound proofing at a competitive price. The company’s technical innovation manager, Brian Ravnaas, took a moment to answer questions we had about this product and how it might benefit an electronic systems contracting firm and its clients.

What sort of training is required to use your product most effectively?
The Green Glue products are very fast and easy to apply. No special skills or training is required. If a DIYer or contractor can hang drywall, then they can install a Green Glue noiseproofing system. Due to the thin consistency of the product, the user can easily dispense a tube of Green Glue in 15 seconds. Also, the product will not flow off a board when installing, and no specific coverage pattern is needed to ensure excellent results. The virtues of the products make soundproofing with a Green Glue system one of the most cost-effective and user-friendly home improvements available.

We have conducted hundreds of tests on Green Glue to ensure that it achieves an optimal level of noiseproofing.

Since the product was launched, what market has been most successful for you?

Our reputation for effectively reducing low-frequency noise has encouraged architects to spec the use of Green Glue into a number of projects. We have seen significant growth in the hospitality industry, where a quiet and peaceful environment is critical to a pleasant hotel experience. The urban, multi-family dwellings are yet another area of growth for us. People ...
