Biobased Hemp Insulation for Acoustics 🔊🔊🔊 Did you know that sound is an important hallmark of how we experience comfort in the built environment? Temperature and humidity are often thought to be the most important characteristics that contribute to comfort, but sound plays a huge role. Think about it: when you are in a space with noise reflecting off walls floors and ceilings, or you can hear things like sirens or traffic outside, what does that do to your perception of comfort? Often, our sense of comfort is reduced in noisy, echoing spaces, even if the temperature and humidity is comfortable. Our products are engineered at a density that help attenuate more sound versus conventional products that are far lower density. In addition to that, we're rolling out products in 2024 that are particularly adept at attenuating sound, and we'll be experimenting with acoustic specific solutions. HempWool thermal insulation performs well with sound, helping capture sound at different frequencies. For a limited time, until Earth Day 4/22, HempWool is available for 25% off at www.buy.hempitecture.com
