These sound-dampening walls are insane

    1. Her reaction makes me think he followed her in there by accident they don’t actually know each other xD

    2. Well, since you Americans don’t have real houses, let alone real walls, I can understand why you’re blown away.
      If we additionally had this isolation, something could go blown off on the other side and we wouldn’t hear it.
      😏

    3. You all have isolation in your walls already. The reason why you can hear stuff from the outside is because of windows and doors in the room. This isn’t amazing or special in any way, just windowless.

      Need this in our half bath, walls are thin and I can hear everything happening in there! Same between floors…

    5. In Croatia (and I’m guessing most of Europe but can’t confirm) people usually build brick walls but using drywalls (knauf/gypsum wall) is more and more common.

      I had renovations done recently and we had drywall installed nad having rock wool put in empty space between panels like this is totally common, both for sound isolation and thermal insulation.

      Honestly I never heard someone in Croatia putting up drywall without putting rock wool or something similar between panels.

      Also we usually use metal (I think it’s aluminum) frames instead of wood.

      I built a conference room next to 2 bowling lanes at my old business. Lockwood worked well, but vibrations and sound still rolled thu the floor

    7. We use this material in our sheet metal walls/roofs of our commercial HVAC units that are craned onto new construction hospitals and other large buildings. Its a great insulator, that silences large fan noises while maintaining/controlling temperature differences inside vs. outside the unit.

      Pretty cool material and easy for our workers to handle and process.

      I’m always suspicious now when shit like this calls the brand out first & foremost. They’re not sound dampening walls, they’re ROCKWELL sound dampening walls!

      This trade show looks dope as fuck but also anyone with a double or quad booth is spending so much money to be there.

    10. AND it doesn’t turn into a burning inferno at the slightest suggestion of fire! Win win! Shame it’s so expensive 🥲

      Couple pallets of this got stolen from the job I was on you would’ve thought it was the Crown Jewels by how the drywall foreman reacted.

    12. A part of me wants to fit this in my house – then another part of me wonders how i’ll ever be able to shout at the kids from the bottom of the stairs. Would probably have to fit an intercom into their rooms.

    13. Rockwool is also used for thermal insulation in cryogenic plants such as natural gas liquefiers that get down to -162 C. So also pretty handy if you just want to keep your house cool in the summer.

    14. I live in germany and it is common to put that between your inner and outter walls (which usually only have air), not really for sound dampening but for insulation. I have that stuff sprayed in my house walls aswell.
