Acoustic Foam & Rubber Sound Dampening

Premium Foam & Rubber Acoustic Dampening Solutions for Sound Control

At Atlantic Rubber & Plastic, we specialise in the supply of high-quality premium Acoustic Rubber & Foam Sound Dampening material designed to meet the needs of soundproofing and acoustic management. Whether you are aiming to reduce noise in industrial facilities, commercial spaces, or residential environments, our range of acoustic sound solutions provides effective sound absorption and insulation.

Why Choose Rubber and Foam for Acoustic Solutions?

Rubber and foam materials have excellent sound absorption and vibration-dampening properties. Their unique structures help control noise by absorbing sound waves and minimising their transmission through surfaces. Here’s why our materials are ideal for acoustic solutions:

• Effective Noise Reduction: Our acoustic foam and rubber products are specifically engineered to trap and dampen sound waves, reducing noise levels significantly.

• Vibration Dampening: Rubber and foam’s natural flexibility helps reduce vibrations from machinery, HVAC systems, and other equipment, creating a quieter environment.

• Durability and Longevity: Our materials are designed to maintain their soundproofing qualities over time, even in demanding conditions.

Our Range of Acoustic Soundproofing Solutions

Atlantic Rubber & Plastic offers a comprehensive range of rubber and foam products for sound control, including:

• Acoustic Foam Panels: Lightweight and versatile, our acoustic foam panels are ideal for sound absorption in studios, offices, and home theatres. They help eliminate echo and reverberation, ensuring more precise sound quality.

• Rubber Sound Barriers: These dense, flexible barriers prevent noise transmission through walls, floors, and ceilings in industrial and commercial buildings.

• Vibration Dampening Pads: Our rubber pads are designed to absorb vibrations and reduce noise from machinery, making them essential for manufacturing facilities and mechanical rooms.

• Duct Lining and Acoustic Insulation: We offer foam products that can be used as duct lining to reduce noise from HVAC systems and improve overall acoustic performance in buildings.

• Custom Acoustic Solutions: We can create bespoke rubber and foam products tailored to your requirements, providing optimal soundproofing and vibration control for any project.

Applications of Rubber and Foam Acoustic Solutions

Our acoustic sound solutions are suited for a variety of environments, including:

1. Recording Studios and Theatres: Improve sound clarity and minimise external noise interference with our high-performance acoustic foam panels.

2. Offices and Commercial Spaces: Reduce noise from conversations, equipment, and HVAC systems to create a more comfortable work environment.

3. Industrial Facilities: Use rubber sound barriers and vibration-dampening pads to minimise heavy machinery and mechanical equipment noise.

4. Residential Buildings: Enhance home soundproofing using foam and rubber products to reduce room noise and insulate against outdoor sounds.

Rubber & Foam Acoustic Dampening Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What types of acoustic rubber and foam products do you supply?

We offer a diverse range of rubber and foam acoustic materials for sound control, including:

• Neoprene foam sheets and sponge rubber sheets.

• EPDM foam tape, strip rubber, and rubber sound-barrier sheets.

• Bespoke/custom rubber and foam acoustic solutions, cut to size or shaped for particular installations.

2. What acoustic benefits do these rubber & foam materials provide?

Rubber and foam acoustic solutions offer:

• Noise reduction: They help absorb sound waves and reduce their transmission through structures.

• Vibration dampening: Flexible materials like rubber isolate mechanical vibration and resonance from equipment or HVAC systems.

• Improved acoustics: In interior spaces such as studios, offices, and residential areas, foam sheets help reduce echo and reverberation, giving cleaner sound and better comfort.

3. Are these materials the same as full sound-proofing?

No, there is a distinction:

• Acoustic foam or rubber primarily reduce echoes, internal reflections, and mid-to-high frequency noise, and help damp vibration.

• Full sound-proofing (blocking external noise or preventing sound transmission through walls and floors) often requires additional mass, airtight sealing, and layered construction with specialist materials.

• Our products are part of an acoustic management or sound control solution, but in many cases, you may need a combination of materials to achieve full sound-proofing.

4. How do I choose the correct thickness or density for acoustic foam or rubber?

Some general guidance:

• Thinner foams (25–50 mm) work well for reducing higher frequency reflections such as speech and light echo.

• Thicker or higher-density materials (75 mm and above) are better for controlling lower frequencies and vibration.

• The right choice depends on the environment and the type of noise you want to reduce. For industrial vibration, use dense rubber pads; for studios, choose open-cell foam for absorption.

Our team can advise and supply cut-to-size or custom shapes to match your exact requirement.

5. Can these materials be self-installed, or do I need a specialist?

Yes—many of our foam and rubber acoustic solutions are designed for straightforward installation, such as self-adhesive foam tapes or sheets that can be bonded directly.

However, for the best results, especially in complex environments or where low-frequency noise is an issue, it is advisable to consult a specialist acoustic installer.

6. Where can these acoustic solutions be used?

Our acoustic rubber and foam products are suitable for a wide range of environments, including:

• Industrial settings: machinery, HVAC ducts, and mechanical rooms (for vibration isolation and noise control).

• Commercial buildings and offices: reducing HVAC noise and reverberation while improving comfort levels.

• Residential and studio spaces: home cinemas, recording rooms, and living spaces where echo, reflections, or external noise need managing.

7. Are the materials fire-rated and suitable for building regulations?

Yes. Many acoustic foam and rubber sheets are available with fire-retardant or Class O fire ratings.

When specifying, ensure the material meets the relevant local building regulations, particularly for commercial or residential use.

8. What should I consider when specifying for a project?

Key factors to think about include:

• The frequency range of the noise being targeted (e.g., machinery hum vs. speech vs. vibration).

• Whether your aim is absorption (reducing echo/reflection) or isolation/blocking (preventing sound transmission).

• The installation location and environment: industrial, studio, or domestic use each have different demands.

• The installation method – whether materials will be bonded, mechanically fixed, or laid loose.

• Fire-rating and compliance with relevant regulations.

• Budget and coverage area – acoustic treatments often offer diminishing returns, so targeted application is key.
