 STC Sound Ratings |
R-Values |
Panel Sizes |
Sound transmission class- STC- is a single number quantifier used to rate partitions, doors and windows for their effectiveness in blocking sound.
3 1/2 = 37
5 1/2 = 40
7 1/4 = 49
9 1/4 = 53
11 1/4 = 57
(Wood framing w/drywall both sides & fiberglass batts has a 34 STC sound rating.) |
The term R-Value was developed to represent the ability of an insulation material to restrict heat flow.
2 x 4 = 3 1/2" panel = R-14
2x 6 = 5 1/2" panel = R-24
2 x 8 = 7 1/4" panel = R-30
2 x 10 = 9 1/4" panel = R-38
2 x 12 = 11 1/4" panel = R-45
Our R-Values are "True" and not an "Equivalent"
Our R-Values last the life of our product and do not diminish over time
