Denver, Colorado (12/8/1998) --- Families today are spending more time in their homes than ever before. Home offices, home theaters and recreation rooms are often part of new home or remodeling plans. With each room also comes sounds produced by appliances, television, radio, intercoms, water and conversation -- sounds which can cause annoyance and irritation to neighboring rooms when transmitted through shared partitions or reverberated in open areas. Johns Manville ComfortTherm Sound Control Fiber Glass Insulation significantly reduces sound transmission through interior walls and floors and offers home builders and homeowners the high acoustical efficiency for greater noise reduction.
ComfortTherm Sound Control resilient batt insulation is an easy-to-use, practical answer for reducing the transmission of noise through walls. Unlike other insulations, ComfortTherm is encapsulated with a high-tech poly-wrap system that puts a barrier between the installer and the fiber glass insulation. That means greater handling comfort, less dust and itch. The poly facing is perforated on all sides and does not act as a vapor retarder. Also, the poly facing and triple reinforced flanges are tougher and more tear-resistant than kraft. This allows the pre-cut batts to be quickly and easily stapled into position - keeping it in place during construction.
Homebuyers will quickly and clearly notice the attractive facing distinguishing this as a sound control insulation. ComfortTherm's facing also has a UL 25/50 flame spread classification, which means it can be left exposed where building codes allow.
ffective and easy-to-use, Johns Manville ComfortTherm Sound Control Insulation provides the kind of sound transmission reduction and quick installation which make it the choice of DIYers and professionals alike.
