Owens Corning home page  Sound Control


You know you want a little peace and quiet at home. Here you'll find out what insulation product to install, and where, to reduce unwanted sound in your home.

Control the sound transmission within your home.

The inner walls in most homes are built much the same -- drywall or plaster on wood studs. Adding QuietZone™ Acoustic Batts or PINK fiber glass insulation to certain rooms, such as a workshop, library, bathroom, laundry room, bedroom, home office, recreation room or media room, can help provide greater sound resistance. For 2 x 4 Interior Walls, Floors and Ceilings, we suggest one of the following products:

  • QuietZone™ acoustic batts (3 1/2" thick) Unfaced - No Vapor Barrier
  • PINKPLUS® R-13 fiber glass insulation (3 1/2" Thick) For 2 x 4 Walls or Perforated Poly-Wrap - Kraft-Faced 1 Side
  • R-13 fiber glass insulation (3 1/2" Thick) For 2 x 4 Walls Unfaced - No Vapor Barrier
  • R-11 fiber glass insulation (3 1/2" Thick) For 2 x 4 Walls Unfaced - No Vapor Barrier
