FabricBloc Panels are sound barrier panels made from two 1" thick compressed fiberglass acoustic barrier tiles laminated together with a thin layer of mass loaded vinyl sandwiched in between.    This composite sound barrier tile product is then wrapped in 48 colors of Guilford cloth to produce this sound isolation panel for a common wall treatment .   These acoustic barrier tiles combine to both absorb unwanted sound reflections within your room, and help block noise from bleeding through the common wall surface that the sound protection panels are attached to.    This combination of sound absorption and sound blocking make the FabricBloc Panels a popular choice for soundproofing a common wal

 

 

The obvious advantage to this product is its combined ability to both "block" noise from bleeding through a common wall, and "absorb" noise reflecting back into your room.     The ideal treatment here should include attaching these panels with the Rotofast clip system to firring strips that have been brace horizontally against your wall.    This will help trigger a disconnection point between your finished panel system and the structure of your room, creating a dead air pocket for the sound wave to collapse.

 

However, if your primary goal is transmission loss, we recommend you study the techniques outlined at in the Walls section of our Applications Guide.    There we discuss the use of dB-Bloc and the proper framing options designed to trigger the disconnect you need in your common wall structure to help force the collapse of the sound wave inside your assembly.    This may prove a less costly, albeit more invasive installation procedure, but will yield no absorption coefficients back into your room.
