Home | Another builder adopts Energy Star standards | Question: How do I insulate a crawl space?

Question: What insulation should I use for acoustic treatment?

Brenda writes from College Grove, Tennessee: "We are building a recording studio. For acoustic treatment we were advised to cover all walls and ceiling with pink insulation then covered by material. Do you think this would be a safe move? Will material stretched over the insulation be enough of a barrier to keep harmful fibers out of the air and HVAC system?"

Although standard Owens Corning PINK FIBERGLAS® batts do an excellent job of absorbing sound they are not my first choice for your application. Please visit the Owens Corning acoustic site for a list of QuietZone® products specifically designed for sound control.

Regarding your concern about safety, please visit the Health, Safety & Environment section of the company's website to learn how safe fiberglass fibers are.
