Fiberglas Insulation Description NRC - Link
Advantage: Effective absorber, VERY Economical, High NRC, Locally available, In-stock, Very Easy to install.

Description: Standard wall insulation is a good product to use for absorbing echo, but it will not STOP sound. It is used inside of a wall cavity to absorb the standing wave in the wall so sound energy does not reverberate in the wall cavity. The NRC value for standard fiberglass insulation will vary from one R-value and manufacturer to another.

Painted Nubby Fiberglass Ceiling Tiles Description NRC - Link
Advantage: Very effective absorber, custom sizes available, custom facings available.

Description: This ceiling tile starts as a 1" or 2" thick board of fiberglass and is cut down to the specific size needed. They are usually faced with a rolled vinyl we call "painted nubby" due to the look of the finished product. They can also be faced with decorative fabric, black felt, or a non-porous white reinforced Mylar. Often times for clean rooms or medical institutions, these panels are completely encapsulated in Mylar to keep the fiberglass particulates from becoming airborne - these are our Ultra San panels.

Echo Eliminator Baffles Description Sabins - Link
Advantage: Extremely economical, High NRC, In-stock, Nine colors, Very Easy to install, Economical shipping, Will qualify for LEED points.

Description: This is a very low cost yet very absorptive acoustical BAFFLE made from recycled cotton fiber. These baffles start as our Echo Eliminator panels and we pound grommets thru the cotton as mounting locations so they can be 4' wide x 2' tall or 2' wide x 4' tall. The cotton will pucker at the grommet location. These are usually installed in rooms without fire suppression sprinklers and rooms that have very high ceilings.

Description: A "Cloud" is the industry name for a panel that is suspended from the ceiling paralell to the floor. These baffles are fabricated with a rigid 6-7# density fiberglass board and have one of two types of support systems on the back of the panels. They are generally hung with the same wire used for dropping a T-bar grid. We can make any size up to a 4' x 10' baffle. These are usually installed in rooms without fire suppression sprinklers and give the feeling of a lower ceiling than the "actual" ceiling.

Carpet Description NRC - Link
By installing carpet and carpet pad onto a floor, both will act as an absorber. The thicker the carpet and carpet pad, the more echo will be absorbed. The NRC for carpet will vary depending on the thickness and type of each. People often consider putting carpet on the walls of a room which, technically, will reduce some of the echo. But, unless you are going for a 70's look, there are much more effective ways to eliminate echo.

Furniture Description NRC - Link
Like carpet, furniture will also absorb some of the sound energy in a room because it introduces generally soft surfaces into the room. The NRC here will also vary greatly depending on the furniture itself but does not usually introduce enough square footage to make a real dent in the reverberation.
