Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

In response to complaints that noise from the school cafeteria and loud plumbing rendered two classrooms unusable to students and teachers, Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario has installed Acoustiblok noise deadening material in two classrooms to reduce noise leaking from a busy cafeteria below.

Fleming College Facilities Manager Mike Peart decided to install Acoustiblok’s 3mm noise abatement material after researching sound deadening products to find an affordable option that worked. Peart said that the cafeteria noise was infiltrating the classroom above it through the wall cavity and a series of exhaust vents that acted as a conduit for noise between the floors. This type of noise problem is not uncommon in schools and other public and commercial buildings that were designed and built without acoustical principles in mind.

The noise permeating the classroom created a serious distraction for students and teachers, and eventually the classroom had to be abandoned until the problem could be resolved. Fleming College hired Beavermead Construction of Peterborough to install Acoustiblok on the walls and in the drop ceiling of the first classroom, resulting in a 12 decibel sound decrease.

?The room measured at 58 dBs before we installed Acoustiblok, and it measured at 46 dBs as soon as the installation was complete,? Peart said. ?We are really impressed with it, it did exactly what we were told it would do.?

John Kraetzer of Beavermead Construction said the product went in easily, and made such an impact on the noise problem that his company decided to purchase it for another Peterborough project he was working on, a government building that required soundproofing between government building offices and a prayer center that shared a common wall.

?They told us to use a product called Green Glue, but we had already installed the Acoustiblok at Fleming College, and I knew how well it worked there, so I decided to use it on this project as well,? Kraetzer said. ?They were thrilled with the results too.?

After the first installation, Peart said he had Acoustiblok installed in a second classroom plagued with noise problems coming from plumbing pipes within the wall, with the same excellent results they had in the first classroom.

?We?re really happy with the Acoustiblok treatments,? Peart said.

Acoustiblok Founder and President Lahnie Johnson says that the Acoustiblok noise abatement material is the perfect solution to classroom noise, particularly in academic buildings designed before architects began taking acoustics into account in their designs.

“The hollow walls and multiple vents between the cafeteria below and the classroom couldn’t have been more effective in creating a noise chamber,” Johnson said. “This type of design flaw is not uncommon in late 20th century public building design architecture, and many schools are now being forced to address the issue when classrooms become too noisy to be useful.

“We are finding that more and more academic institutions – from elementary schools to universities – are struggling with noise problems that are easily remedied with Acoustiblok.”

About Acoustiblok:

Acoustiblok?s high quality noise abatement products, available since 1998, have earned the industry?s highest ratings from architects, builders, and consumers. Acoustiblok is a proprietary viscoelastic polymer material with a high density mineral content, heavy and yet extremely flexible. As sound waves cause the Acoustiblok material to flex, internal friction occurs and the acoustical energy is transformed into undetectable trace amounts of heat.

Just one, 1/8 inch layer of Acoustiblok in a standard wall will result in more sound reduction than 12-inches of poured concrete. Environmentally friendly, Acoustiblok contains no lead, barium, or asbestos, is UV resistant and impervious to water and mold; it is UL rated in the U.S. and Canada (CUL) and classified for all wall, floor, and ceiling installations.

Excerpt: An animal glue is an adhesive that is created by prolonged boiling of animal connective tissue .These protein colloid glues are formed through hydrolysis of the collagen from skins, bones, tendons, and other tissues, similar to gelatin . The word “collagen” itself derives from Greek kolla , glue. These proteins form a molecular bond with the glued object.Stereotypically , the animal in question is a horse , and horses that are put down are often said to have been sent to the “glue factory”.Types and uses Animal glue was the most common woodworking glue for thousands of years until the advent of synthetic glues such as polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and other resin glues in the 20th century. Today it is used primarily in specialty applications such as lutherie , pipe organ building , and antique restoration. Glass artists take advantage of hide glue’s ability to bond with glass, applying hide glue to glass. As the glue hardens it shrinks, chipping the glass.It has several advantages and disadvantages compared to other glues. The glue is applied hot, typically with a brush or spatula ; it is kept hot in a glue pot . Most animal glues are soluble in water , useful for joints which may at some time need to be separated. Alcohol is sometimes applied to such joints to dehydrate the glue, making it more brittle and easier to crack apart.Specific types include hide glue , bone glue , fish glue , rabbit skin glue .Hide glue Hide glue at room temperatureHot hide glueHide glue is used in woodworking. It may be supplied as granules, flakes, or
