Convoluted foam
Discover our range of acoustic foam panels, suitable for improving sound quality. With self-adhesive backing for easy installation and high density for optimal performance.
Within our range, you will find various types of profiled foam, including egg crate foam and pyramid foam. Our EASYfoam Egg Crate Foam meets high safety standards, such as FMVSS 302 and UL-94 Class HF1 for flame retardancy. This sets our egg crate foam apart from other types with lower density, such as those often available at DIY stores.
What is convoluted foam?
Convoluted foam is a type of sound-absorbing material used to improve the acoustics of a room. It has a characteristic structure with small egg crate-shaped protrusions on the surface, which helps to absorb and diffuse sound waves. This aids in reducing echoes, controlling reverberation times, and enhancing sound quality in a space. Egg crate foam is commonly used in sound studios, recording studios, home cinemas, offices, and other spaces where sound control is important.
Where is convoluted foam used?
Thanks to the good sound-absorbing properties of this acoustic foam, it is suitable for solving sound problems in various environments, such as technical rooms, sound studios, and server rooms. The nodular structure of the foam acts as an effective sound-absorbing solution. The nodules break, scatter, and absorb sound waves, reducing the reverberation time in the space. This results in better acoustics, less reverberation, and an improved overall sound experience.
Self-adhesive foam pads
Self-adhesive nodular foam offers extra convenience and versatility as it can be applied directly to various surfaces without the need for additional glue or fastening materials. The self-adhesive backing makes installation quick and easy, making it a convenient solution for sound absorption.
How does convuluted foam differ from other sound-absorbing materials?
Convoluted foam features a unique nodular structure that effectively absorbs and disperses sound waves, resulting in improved sound absorption and control over reverberation time. This sets it apart from other sound-absorbing materials such as foam rubber or acoustic panels.
What types of convoluted foam does Fibers & Foams have?
The EASYfoam NP Premium is a high-quality, open-celled polyether foam with a fine studded structure that offers a luxurious appearance.
Our other acoustic convoluted foam is the EASYfoam NP Plus, also made of high-quality open-celled polyether foam, stands out for its firm character thanks to its even cell distribution and fine, pointed structure.
EASYfoam pyramid foam has a firm pyramid structure and is lightweight, making it easy to apply. The even cell distribution not only provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance but also makes the material sturdy. Unlike studded foam, pyramid foam does not have round studs but pyramid-shaped structures.
FAQ
What is noppenschuim and what do you use it for?
Convoluted foam is one of the best-known sound-absorbing materials and is widely used in recording studios and technical rooms to reduce reverberation. For studios and living spaces, however, better and more fire-safe alternatives are now available, such as EASYpol, EASYfoam FireSeal, and Basotect melamine foam. Due to its fire performance, convoluted foam is not suitable for use on larger surfaces in living areas. For the acoustic lining of technical rooms and enclosures, however, it remains a possible option, provided that the fire safety risk is carefully assessed and controlled.
Does foam bubble wrap work against noise disturbance?
Yes, pegboard foam helps in reducing noise pollution in, for example, machine rooms or technical spaces. However, to improve sound insulation between two rooms, pegboard foam is not suitable. For that, soundproof materials are needed, such as a partition wall.
What is the difference between dot foam and other acoustic foam?
Convoluted foam is a basic solution for sound absorption in technical applications. For situations where fire safety, moisture resistance, or oil repellency is required, alternatives such as EASYfoam FireSeal, EASYwhisper, or EASYfoam Acusticab are more suitable.
Is foam sponge suitable for studios or machines?
Felted foam is suitable for technical applications and spaces. When used near machinery, it works well, provided the environment is clean. If not, EASYfoam PU is a better alternative thanks to its oil-resistant top layer. For studios, felted foam can be applied locally, but it is not suitable for covering an entire wall or ceiling. For this, fire-resistant materials such as polyester wool or melamine foam are more appropriate.
Can I easily apply peel-off foam myself?
Yes, our bubble foil is equipped with a strong self-adhesive layer, making it easy for you to apply it yourself to a clean and dry surface. Additionally, the material can be easily cut to size with a utility knife.
