As communities become more populated and the increasing amount of airborne noises rise, there is a real need for reducing the noise levels in both business and residential buildings. There are a few traditional sound reduction methods currently available, however, most of these methods are expensive and require extra labor and wasteful square footage.
SCAFCO now offers a revolutionary noise barrier product called SoundGuard™ Silent Steel Framing System. SoundGuard™ has many advantages over all other methods. SoundGuard™ eliminates sound by reducing the vibration transferred through the assembly. The new system is also easily installed and is much more cost effective than traditional sound barrier construction methods.
