Sound Control
Celbar wall insulation effectively reduces sound transmission from walls or ceilings adjacent to entertainment centers, surround sound systems, bathrooms, and bedrooms to other rooms. The high-density insulation fills voids and creates a monolithic seal resulting in a quieter, more peaceful home. Celbar also provides a very high R-value making a home more energy efficient. Celbar is classified as a green building material, is designed to resist fire, mold, mildew and insects. Celbar has always been formulated with 100% Borate additives and is free of all Ammonia additives. System DescriptionCelbar is a blend of specially prepared cellulose fibers, organic in nature, treated with adhesive and fire resistant chemicals. When sprayed in place, the interlocking fibers result in a mass that produces excellent sound and thermal properties.
Celbar is pneumatically spray-applied in wall and floor/ceiling cavities to form a monolithic coating. This process seals cracks and holes in the wallboard, around plumbing and electrical outlets, vent ducts and other irregularities. There are no compressed areas or voids to allow sound leaks, R-value reduction, or air infiltration.

Between Floor Application for Celbar Wallspray |
Another very commonly overlooked interior application is controlling sound transmission of falling water, running water or other embarrassing noises. Lavatories, water closets, utility rooms, plumbing lines can be easily insulated against noise during initial construction.
Celbar Wall Spray, applied between floors of multilevel dwellings helps reduce airborne noise such as voices, radios, televisions and other annoying sounds. In combination with resilient channels, Celbar Wall Spray reduces the impact or foot-fall noises very common in today’s homes.
The performance of Celbar compared to other identically constructed wall systems, as documented by laboratory tests is shown below.
