Acoustic foam is an effective way to eradicate reverberations and absorb sounds in your room. The foam panels are made from robust, open-cell polyurethane that can substantially reduce the amount of echoes and noise.
Sound can be absorbed by various materials, depending on the type. Machine enclosure foam is one of these types as it is both porous and soft. When a sound wave comes in contact with this foam, it converts some of that energy to heat which causes decay much faster if there was no material present at all.
Different densities of Machine enclosure foam
Machine enclosure and eggcrate foam comes in different shapes and densities. The biggest difference in performance is its density, not the actual design or shape of the acoustic foam.
Every density absorbs sound waves at various frequencies. The different shapes provide different aesthetic textures and qualities.
Thinner acoustic foams offered by Technifoam will absorb high and mid spectrum sound waves while denser foam panels absorb mid, high and lower end sound waves.
One inch dense eggcrate foam will provide you maximum value for your money. One inch foam panels are thin in respect to our other foams, but are still effective for lessening flutter echoes and controlling the mid and high frequency ranges.
Two inch acoustic foam provides better sound absorption, and will handle the mid to high frequency ranges.
Various shapes of eggcrate foam
As we mentioned before, the main difference in the performance of acoustic foam is the density, not the actual style or shape of the panels. Nonetheless, different shape and textures provide you different options for the aesthetics in your room.
Remember that machine enclosure foam is used for sound absorption. It is not used for preventing sound from going through a ceiling or wall.
