Sound Proofing
What is Green glue?

Green Glue is a liquid, waterborne, viscoelastic damping compound which represents the highest performance product of it's type.  We are aware of no product available to the construction market which can deliver damping levels even 30% as high as those offered by Green Glue.  It is also significantly lower in applied cost than competitive products, giving it a matchless cost/performance ratio in the damping of normal construction materials such as drywall, wood products, etc.  Finally, it is remarkably tolerant to real-world application conditions and carries almost none of the burden of precision required by many damping systems.

How does green glue work?

Green Glue very effectively removes a system’s ability to propagate sound. Green Glue damps the wall, floor or ceiling structures.

In a constrained layer damping system, sometimes referred to as CLD, a damping material is sandwiched between two other (usually stiff/rigid) materials.  Like Green Glue sandwiched between two layers of drywall.  Damping occurs when the viscoelastic center of the "sandwich" is sheared (see above).

When bent, shear forces pull and stretch on the damping material. Energy is lost when the damping material is sheared. Imagine stretching and pulling on the surface of the damping material inside that sandwich. The vibration energy is not isolated, it's destroyed. Converted to heat at a rate defined by the efficiency of the damping material in any given system.

How does Green glue compare to other products?

Green Glue is the world’s highest performance Visco-Elastic Damping Compound. A wall, ceiling or floor system built with Green Glue has the highest performance to cost ratio of any product available anywhere.

Acoustical Treatments

Sound control is a means to an end.  Meaning if you are trying to achieve the perfect balance of sound as it was originally intended.  You need to properly apply specific types of control systems in order to capture the perfect image of sound.  The proper use of dampeners, diffusers, base traps and more common things like furniture and built-in's are all part of the sound proofing of a home theater.  Caveman Home Theaters offers sound proofing solutions for more than just Custom Home Theaters.  We can implement a sound control design to prevent almost any sound from entering or leaving a space. 

Amazing but the surrounding images are all specialty products designed to control sound by absorption, diffusion, or trapping the excess sound waves that reflect back toward the listener.
