How much do I need for soundproofing my room?

Soundproofing consist of 2 things majorly, Sound Isolation and Echo Treatment. If you cover 70 - 80 % area it will help in echo treatment and if you cover 100% area then it will also isolate the sound.

Only Acoustic Foam panels are fine to isolate the room or we need Soundproof panels too ?

If you plan to record Vocal with instrument, with sound level around 110 DB then only acoustic foam is fine. But if there is a jamming session and high sound level more than 110 DB the we suggest a later of Sound Insulation Pad first then Acoustic Foam Panels above it.

Will it stick directly on the wall or I need to apply wood first ?

SAS Acoustic foam panels or other products can be applied directly on any surface be it wood, brick wall, cemented wall, false ceiling, POP, glass, ceramic tiles etc. using adhesive.

I have bought tiles and I need to soundproof a little area in my room, what should be the placements ?

Acoustic Foam panels should always be applied at point of sound reflections. Firstly behind the monitors, secondly at the right / left (adjacent)wall or surface which is the second point of reflection and thirdly the wall opposite to the monitors for front reflection. For better performance we suggest on the ceilings too just above your seat.

It can be easily cut using table knife or blade. Just be Safe !

Can it be covered or painted ?

Yes it can be covered by Gypsum , Wooden Panels, Fabric etc. but it can not be painted. However, acoustic foam comes in various colors and designs and you need not cover it. Its just your personal choice and will not affect its performance.

Is it similar to foam sheets we get in the market ?

No, the foam sheets you get in the market are commercial comfort foam which is made specially with a lot of open cells to facilitate passage of air. Air is the only medium through which sound travels the fastest. SAS Acoustic foam is made with acoustic polyurethane chemicals which converts the vibration & kinetic energy of the sound into heat energy at diminishing level and the increased surface area distributes the waves into different direction and keep it on the surface while absorbing it simultaneously.

There are many cheaper versions available in the market with similar designs, what’s the difference ?

Honestly, you would know the difference once you buy them. The only difference is the product quality. There is a difference between comfort foam and acoustic foam.
