Soundproofing Foam - Is it the Answer to Your Noise Problems?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Eric_Henry]Eric Henry

It's soundproof foam, and while you may see the sense of using soundproof foam to eliminate your house's noise issues, you may be delighted to know that it will also provide you with extra insulations against the drafts which creep into your rooms along with the unwanted noise. So using soundproof foam in your house is a great way to eliminate two annoying problems in one relatively easy step!

How To Install Soundproof Foam

Perhaps the biggest selling point of soundproof foam is that its installation will not mean that you need to tear down and replace your existing walls. Soundproof foam will be added to your home through its attic, from where it will make its way down the interior surfaces of the walls, coating them with a new, sound-deadening layer of insulation and giving you the snug and quiet home for which you've been yearning.

By the time the soundproof foam has completely descended along you walls, it will have completely filled any small holes and gaps, including those surrounding your electrical outlets and lighting fixtures. If you're like most homeowners, you might have never considered how the tiny openings around these outlets and fixtures can reduce you home's overall energy efficiency, and one of the biggest rewards of using soundproofing foam will come when you see your next energy bill! Another overlooked benefit of installing soundproof foam is that it will absorb any unpleasant odors so that they do not spread throughout your house.

Other Things You'll Love About Soundproof Foam

In addition to lowering your energy bills, using soundproof foam to stop your noise problems will save you significantly over any other soundproofing methods. For one thing, you'll have full access to every room of your house while the soundproofing foam installation is taking place, and the labor costs of installing it will be a fraction of those of any other method of soundproofing construction. Your soundproofing foam installation will also be backed by a generous warranty.

But the most impressive aspect of using soundproofing foam is, without a doubt, its outstanding noise-deadening properties. Should your home be near a street which has continuing heavy traffic, you have probably longed for a way to shut out the noise, especially when you are trying to get a good night's rest. But your soundproof foam will also eliminate the problem of noise bleeding between your home's interior walls, so that your kids can stay up late watching TV or playing video games without disturbing your sleep or distracting you from your office work.

Soundproof foam will also block sound from penetrating the interior walls of your home. The kids can play their music or video games in one room while you watch TV in another and someone else works in the home office, and all of you will be spared the distraction of each other's noise!
