Acoustical Lead

Sheet lead is essential to acoustic control systems. Lead is an extremely efficient acoustic barrier material by itself or fastened to studs as part of the wall. Lead sheet can also be adhesively bonded to gypsum board or plywood. In general, there are three functions for describing Acoustical Control: Blocking of sound path by barriers. Damping of structures and surfaces – to reduce vibration and radiation of airborne sound. Absorbing sound- usually by light fibrous materials.
