4 Reasons to Choose Fiberglass Insulation for Sound

[@elijahshelnutt5380]

I just watched an old video you made on cellulose insulation and followed through to this one. It was really cool to see how much more comfortable you have become with conveying information to the camera. Really cool and informative to see your take on choosing materials and all the factors you consider when doing so. Great work! 👍

Thanks for the kind words, Elijah!

Are you looking to insulate for sound between your floors and interior walls?

[@rawiyahsphere]

Yes! I'm in a new luxury apartment with a maniac that stomps above us. I am going to cut open the ceiling in sections and stuff it with insulation 3/4 of the depth with 1/4 air space. What rating do you suggest?

@@rawiyahsphere I would suggest contact a professional, insulation is good for absorbing sound but if your roof isn't built properly from the start you are wasting your money and time.

@@ImDembe It's a "new luxury apartment" it is actually very solid, their is a maniac above pounding on the floor.

[@ImDembe]

@@rawiyahsphere Not solid enough depending on how hard your neighbour is pounding. My point is if it's constructed wrong (even if it's up to code) it's gonna take more than a layer or two of insulation to get rid of the problem.

@@ImDembe EVERY new LUXURY Apartment building on Long Island is build right. I need to know the best rating fiberglass insulation to fill 3/4 of the depth with 1/4 air space?
