Where the channels are not completely filled, roll the batts out in the channels to fill them to the top, then lay perpendicular runs on top to reach the total depth of 13 inches to 16 inches and an R-value between 39 and Verify that the insulation extends completely to the edge of the attic and covers the tops of the exterior walls. However, take care not to obstruct airflow entering the attic through soffit vents. Install vent baffles before laying the insulation if necessary to keep soffits clear.
Also keep insulation at least three inches away from components that generate heat such as metal chimneys and gas heater vents. Utilize spare pieces of insulation to stuff into small gaps around masonry chimneys and any other areas not covered by the continuous batts.

Bass absorption panels such our Corner trap work best if placed in room corner.
They help eliminate standing waves, dips and spikes that are notoriously prevalent in smaller rooms. So for example, if you notice that you have too much bass in one spot of the room, and very little in the sweet spot, you needs bass traps to calibrate the room lows and to give you as flat a low frequency as possible.
Which results in tighter punchier bass that does not overwhelm the rest of the instruments and sounds equally good no matter where you sit in the room. When suspended from a ceiling, our Baffles provide dual sided absorption. Which is very important when you room is large and has very high ceilings.
A: Absolutely! Our bass traps offer broadband absorption Highs, mids and lows. Remember bass is the toughest frequency to control, so bass traps are a must. The more you deploy the better off you are, especially in smaller rooms where bass frequencies are a major problem. A: No, they are not designed for that purpose. Please see our Soundproofing FAQ for details. Although they provide excellent sound absorption inside a room, they have no impact on the amount of sound transmitted through walls, windows and crevices.
Acoustic panels are mainly used to condition sound in the room and make it more pleasant by reducing echoes, slap, reverb caused by sound waves reflecting on hard surfaces and parallel walls.
Visit our Soundproofing FAQ for more detailed information about noise control. Q: I have a 9 x 10 foot office. I want to dampen the sound enough so that less is transmitted to the next room. I don't need to totally block sound. Will the panels help with that?
A: Unfortunately no. Sound panels do not reduce sound, they absorb sound waves before they reflect off walls back into the room. In doing that, they help knock out any echoes and reverb you might have and in turn make conversations heard clearly. They will not absorb enough of the overall sound to keep it from leaking out. Visit our Soundproofing FAQ for more details and possible solutions to your dilemma.
A: It all depends on the total square footage of hard surfaces in a room. A: Acoustimac provides z-clips installation hardware with all of its acoustic panel and bass trap products. You attach two Z-Clips on the upper corners of the panel backing, about an inch or more from the edges using provided wood screws, be sure to orient the screw holes to the top.
Then attach the remaining two Z-Clips to the wall with the screw holes oriented to the floor and be sure they are at the same level and are spaced the same as they are on the panel. Please view installation diagram below for standard acoustic panel or bass traps:Panel wall installation. A: Z-bar installatio n : Requires 4 Z-bars per panel as shown below. You will set up two bars on the ceiling, parallel and with the raised sides facing each other.
Then you will install the bars onto the panel back boards, taking into account the spacing you set up between the bars on the ceiling, also parallel to each other but with the raised sides facing away from each. Then you slide the unit's bars into the bars on the ceiling :. The other installation method on most ceilings would be to suspend the panel by using eye hooks and nylon or wire lines. See diagram below:Ceiling Panel Installation. A: For ceiling installations, the simplest way is to suspend the Baffles using a fishing line or a thin wire.
Place eye hooks on the ceiling and attach a wire to both hook and grommet. Safely suspend them from ceiling. Soffits and rafter air channels work hand in hand to keep air circulating on top of your home. Attic insulation baffles will also help keep your home protected from condensation, water damage, and mold. There are many benefits to having the right insulation in your attic.
Using attic insulation baffles will:. Attic insulation baffles will insulate from touching the roof deck, thereby stopping condensation from forming just below your roof, which can lead to damage. And with how expensive attic insulation is, you want to keep it safe!
So while not every home will have attic soffit vents and baffles, it may be a necessary part of keeping your home safe from mold, condensation, and costly repairs. Additionally, if you have intake or attic soffit vents, baffles are required. Attic vent baffles also prevent clogging in your soffits. Vents can become clogged by insulation. Perhaps your home is well insulated. But if the insulation stops air from flowing, you could have a serious problem.
Rafter air channels ensure a clear path where outside air can move under the roof, keeping the area aired out. Check if your home has the proper insulation and ventilation. Your soffit vents work hard to keep your air circulated. This keeps your home cool and safe from condensation and mold. Everywhere that there is an air intake piece soffit , cool air is being brought into your home. This is so that cooler air outside can replace the hotter air in attics.
Attic venting baffles channel the air from outside, continuing the circulation. This is what keeps your home cooler. So, while rafter air channels are not required between every rafter, they are necessary for each air intake piece. The general rule of thumb is one soffit intake and rafter air channel for every square feet under the roof.
