Press Release Summary = Soundproofing a wall or a ceiling is one of the most
challenging construction applications in the world today. To help you with these
applications, Acoustical Solutions introduces Green Glue. Green Glue is a liquid
sound damping compound used between layers of drywall or other building materials.

Press Release Body = Moving to a new home, installing a home theater, having a new
baby, getting new neighbors, or just growing weary of the everyday noise are all
reasons that cause people to want to consider soundproofing. Another common
soundproofing complaint is footstep noise from rooms above. "I can hear my neighbors
walking and sliding their chairs." In a world where hard surfaced floors are
increasingly popular, this problem is becoming increasingly important, and quality
strategies and solutions are needed.

Acoustical Solutions, Inc. of Richmond, Virginia, who has been offering sound
barriers, sound absorption and sound isolation products for twenty years, is now
proud to introduce Green Glue. Green Glue is a liquid, waterborne, sound damping
compound, which represents the highest performance product of its type. It is used
in between sheets of drywall, subflooring or other building materials. It is
significantly lower in applied cost than competitive products, with an excellent
cost/performance ratio. It is also remarkably tolerant to real-world application
conditions and carries almost none of the burden of precision required by many
soundproofing systems.

The best application for green glue is between sheets of drywall, OSB or Plywood
over the main part of a wall, floor or other structure. Green Glue will not be
effective as a paint or coating. Green Glue is non-toxic with no mixing required.
For walls, floors and ceilings, this product drastically reduces impact and airborne
noise. It can also be used in commercial environments, new construction or
remodeling of an existing space as well as home theaters, and recording studios.

Sound damping is a very straightforward concept. Simply put, sound damping is the
rate at which something dissipates energy. In a constrained layer damping system,
sometimes referred to as CLD, a damping material is sandwiched between two other
(usually stiff/rigid) materials. For example, Green Glue sandwiched between two
layers of drywall. Sound damping occurs when the viscoelastic center of the
\"sandwich\" is sheared. The shearing pulls and stretches on the sound damping
material. Under these conditions, the unique polymeric construction of Green Glue
very efficiently converts this mechanical energy to heat. The vibration energy is
not isolated; it\'s dissipated and removed.

Green Glue comes in 29 oz. tubes. You can use any quart size caulk gun, available at
most hardware and building material stores. It is very fast and easy to apply. No
special skills whatsoever are required. Recommended application is two tubes of
Green Glue per 4\' x 8\' area or two tubes per standard sheet of drywall. If you are
not on a budget, utilizing three tubes per sheet will improve performance. Each case
of Green Glue covers about 192 square feet, or 128 square feet if used at the three
tubes coverage rate. Do not use more than three tubes per 4\' x 8\' sheet, as
performance will actually decline above three tubes per sheet.
