Green Glue Company: Soundproofing Materials
Green Glue is not an awful monster lurching in a swamp, but a high-tech soundproofing material exhibiting at the Expo.
"We basically just tell the average individual we're in soundproofing," quips Ted White, vice president of sales for Green Glue. Indeed, the viscoelastic technology of Green Glue creates a soundproofing material that dampens vibrations.
That material has become quite popular. In fact, millions of square feet of the product have been used to soundproof walls, floors and ceilings, according the company's Web site.

Now, though not new to CEDIA Expo, Green Glue will have its own booth at the show. "We sell to the CEDIA people now; we have for a long time," White says. "The past two years, we had a joint presentation with the Home Acoustics Alliance … we figured it was about time to have a dedicated space. We're just looking to get the message out there."
That message is about cold hard facts, White points out. "Obviously, with our product, it brings a very high level of sound installation to the table at a very low cost," he says, "We have more lab data than anybody."
When asked about the salability of the Green Glue product, White paints a practical picture. He suggests the scene of a man entering into his new home theater at 9 or 10 p.m. to lay into some deeply penetrating guitar licks.
"Lord knows that anybody spending a lot of money on a high-end system would like to turn the volume up once in a while. It's a real disappointment to have his wife come down and tell him to turn it down." The Green Glue product can contain that sound -- and not as a $5,000 line item, but more like a $1,500 line item.
Green Glue, unlike Soylent Green, is not people. Like the old movie, however, it promises to be engaging, and informative to its visitors at the Expo.

Here is some great, brand-new info on DIY sound proofing. Serious Materials just launched a new and improved sound damping glue, QuietGlue Pro (http://www.quietglue.com). QuietGlue Pro’s improved sound damping technology delivers the highest quality noise control at 30% lower cost compared to Green Glue. In fact, QuietGlue Pro outperforms Green Glue in new, back-to-back testing. Learn more about these recent tests in the white paper QuietGlue Pro vs. Green Glue plus see all of the underlying test reports online.
QuietGlue Pro is the perfect solution for small soundproofing projects if you are Doing-in-Yourself. However, for larger residential, light-commercial or commercial applications sound damping glue does not make sense. Soundproofing drywall panels like QuietRock ES are by far the most cost-effective solution when you factor in labor costs. Applying glue to two panels of drywall more than triples the installation time (again see the white paper above) compared to the installation of sound proofed drywall panels. Unless labor is free and time is plentiful, QuietRock is a better option.




Nice article
I have been going through soundproofing products and I found that quietrock is very promising. Their product quietglue is about 35$ is cheaper than green glue.
Quietglue It will be a better option.
