Product Details
Vinyl Foam Insulation Barrier by Soundown®. An effective treatment for airborne noise that radiates from engines and other machinery. The standard composite consists of a layer of mass loaded vinyl, sandwiched between two layers of polyether fire retardant foam, covered by a thin attractive vapor barrier facing. The composite is designed and manufactured specifically for attenuation of sounds from machines such as engines, generators, pumps, and other marine equipment which may have significant bass and mid-range frequency components. The construction centers the acoustic vinyl between equal thicknesses of foam, front and back.

Incorporated in 1983, Soundown’s® original customers were New England boat builders seeking to build higher quality – therefore quiet – yachts. With Soundown’s original line of sound insulation blankets, hand fabricated to customer order, company founder Joseph Smullin helped guide customers through engineered solutions. Before long Soundown earned a reputation as a ‘solutions’ company for noise and vibration problems.
