Where Can I Use Green Glue?
In a world where we are constantly distracted and forced to multi-task, it’s no wonder that most of us treat unwanted noise as a form of pollution. Soundproofing is one of the most rewarding investments you can make to improve interior environment. Unwanted noise is everywhere, from footsteps stomping across the floor above, a television blaring in the next room, or traffic whizzing by your house.
By reducing the noise intruding on your life, soundproofing lets you enjoy the benefits of quieter living and reduced fatigue and stress. It also raises the value of your investment. Best of all, soundproofing can be managed on a budget. Using Green Glue is one of the easiest ways to improve your quality of life, while raising your property values.
Use In Renovation
There is no need to rip out walls or make structural changes to install Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound. The compound can be added on top of existing walls with the addition of a new layer of plasterboard. Apply the Green Glue to this new plasterboard and you have added STC rating with minimal effort and expense.
Use In New Builds
There’s nothing like starting from scratch to design the best soundproofing system for your new home or business. Incorporating a soundproofing strategy at the design stage will maximize effectiveness in your larger plan.
Whether you’re an architect, designer, or a DIY homebuilder planning new construction, you have a number of soundproofing options. When the Green Glue suite of products are incorporated into a new building or home design, noise transmission is reduced.
Use In Apartment Blocks
Many home buyers consider a multi-family home a good investment, particularly if they are buying a home for the first time. Recent reports indicate that multi-family homes are on the rise, especially as metro-area sprawl increases as do commute times.
Living in close proximity to others, of course, exposes you to unwanted noise. If good fences make good neighbours, the same holds true for effective soundproofing: the less you hear your neighbours, the better you’ll get along.
Green Glue products offer simple and economical solutions to keep out unwanted noise and improve your quality of life—or your tenants while keeping your neighbours happy.
Use In Home Cinemas
Ever been to a multiplex theater where you could hear the sounds and booms from the movie playing in the auditorium next to you? That’s a sign of poor soundproofing. The same thing can happen in your home if you don’t use the right materials and designs. Home theater sound systems include powerful subwoofers and high-wattage speakers that create a lot of noise.
Much of this noise occurs at low frequencies, which can be particularly hard to dampen. The Green Glue Company offers soundproofing solutions designed to isolate those low frequencies commonly found with entertainment systems. So, you can turn up the volume on the latest action film without disturbing your family upstairs.
Use In Home Offices
Remote and flexible working is becoming more and more popular for businesses across the UK. Flexi-time has increased by 12.35 per cent from 2012 – 2016 (ONS), and last year, the TUC found that the amount of people remote working has increased by nearly quarter of a million (241,000) over a decade. With this huge rise in people working from home a home office needs to be an oasis of quiet in order to be productive. Loud neighbours, traffic, barking dogs, and even the loud noises from family members in other parts of the house or apartment, can all hamper your creativity. The Green Glue company offers easy-to-use soundproofing solutions that can meet any budget.
Use In Music Studios
Acoustics in a recording studio are critical, but what happens if the space you start with isn’t soundproof? Neighboring and environmental noise showing as shadows or artefacts on a track: mortifying. Specifiing Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound and accompanying materials into your studio build will incorporate a solution, before a problem creeps into your work. Creating a soundproofing, blank-slate will give you the best opportunity to create the optimal setting for your to record your best work.

Use In Education
When designing a new school or renovating an existing one, the most important goal is to create a safe environment that’s conducive to learning. Ensuring a classroom is a sanctuary for learning is to make sure it is free from the disruptions of noise.
The Green Glue Noiseproofing System insulates classrooms from unwanted noise, whether it comes from adjacent classrooms, bustling hallways, or from band practice above. It can also prevent noise from the school auditorium and gymnasium from interrupting the critical learning taking place. Installing the Green Noiseproofing System can be managed cost-effectively to any school building or renovation project.
Use In Retail and Commercial Spaces
Soundproofing is an important consideration for any commercial retail and office project. Whether it is a multi-storied office building, a shopping centre with individual retail stores, or something in between, the last thing individual businesses want is noisy neighbors.
The Green Glue Noiseproofing System is an easy and cost-effective way to incorporate soundproofing into any commercial project. One layer of Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound between two layers of plasterboard can markedly reduce noise transmission. There’s no need to add notable amounts of mass to walls for effective noise abatement when you use Green Glue technologies. Using fewer building materials reduces costs and increases the square footage you can use for office and retail space.
Use In Industrial Spaces
Numerous machines, large assemblies and conveyors that are humming to the point of a full cacophony of noise creates a detrimental environment for your ability to hear or think. It’s important to create spaces in the workplace that protect workers from these loud noises so that they work more comfortably and productively.
The Green Glue Company offers noise abatement solutions that turn recreation areas, cafeterias, and other work spaces into quiet sanctuaries. Noise from production floors can be kept outside these areas by integrating our technologies in between walls, ceilings and floors.
The Green Glue Noiseproofing System offers an optimal solution for any size operation. It can boost worker satisfaction and productivity while saving on the bottom line.
Use In Entertainment
If you’ve watched a movie recently at your local multiplex and heard noises from the theatre next to you, you know all too well that poor soundproofing can ruin a night of entertainment. Modern surround-sound speaker systems are able to blast music and other sounds at high decibels. While this enhances the audience experience, it creates a challenge for designers and architects who need to isolate the noise from an auditorium. Many of these blasting sounds occur at low bass frequencies that are especially hard to contain.
Theatre designers often rely on using heavy mass like concrete and thick THX-certified soundproof plasterboard to prevent noise transmitting between auditoriums, but sounds can still seep through portals and air pockets in walls, floors and ceilings. Incorporating the Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound’s viscoelastic properties are designed to dampen even low bass frequencies, preventing them from transmitting noise between walls.
Green Glue technologies can make a big difference. They offer renovators and builders an entertaining soundproofing solution, with no added drama. They can be easily integrated into any project with minimal additional labour, time, and cost.
Use In Government Projects
While budgets are tight, numerous government building projects still require superior soundproofing, from court rooms to libraries. For military and homeland security projects in particular, superior noise abatement is critical depending on the application.
The Green Glue Company can offer a solution. Green Glue is designed to be used with common building materials and seamlessly integrate into any room. The Green Glue Noiseproofing System also help to increase a space’s STC rating. Independent testing data can also be easily furnished to satisfy governmental requirements for audits. Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound has been validated for use in any fire rated assembly according to the International Building Code, and it has been independently tested by Underwriters Laboratories for fire safety and environmental impact.
