Applications
CFAB cellulose panels can be used in any area that calls for acoustical or thermal treatment. This cellulose soundproofing insulation can be covered with fabric or other decorative material. Typical applications of this cellulose soundproofing insulation board include, but are not limited to, insulation components, office panels, acoustic panels/inserts, and any molded, flat panel or lofted parts.
Sizes
CFAB cellulose panels are available in 2′×4′, 4′×4′, and 4′×8′ panels. These cellulose soundproofing insulation boards are available in ½″, 1″, or 2″ thickness.
Densities

Green Qualities
Made from a combination of recycled and renewable fibers, CFAB cellulose soundproofing insulation products are environmentally responsible and sustainable. Most CFAB cellulose foam board products are completely recyclable and no scrap is produced during the manufacturing process or installation of the material. In addition, they are manufactured using a greener process by reducing energy use and air pollution. Through an innovative manufacturing process, CFAB is produced as a cellulose-based product made primarily from post-consumer, post-industrial paper using recycled newspaper as the main raw material.
Acoustical Performance
The open design and density of CFAB cellulose soundproofing and insulation panels increases sound absorption to control and deaden sound. CFAB cellulose foam board panels achieve high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings based on the density specified. The chart below represents NRC ratings using standard weight material. Sound Transmission Classification (STC) ratings have been done for specific applications. STC values are determined for all of the construction materials in an assembly. The STC ratings exceed the values attained with commonly used acoustical materials.
Product Safety
Homeowners are concerned with safety, especially when it comes to their homes and families. CFAB cellulose foam board panels have a Class A fire rating. The cellulose insulation boards do not contain any harmful airborne particles and do not itch or irritate skin like fiberglass insulation. Easy to handle and soft to the touch, CFAB cellulose panels can be left exposed, painted or covered with drywall. To protect against mold growth, CFAB cellulose foam board panels contain an EPA-registered fungicide.
