Today's businesses and homeowners are placing a high value on the ability to reduce unwanted noise. Fold-Form® walls feature a core of solid concrete-a material regularly used as an economical barrier to sound pollution-surrounded by expanded polystyrene for even greater absorption of sound. A structure's resistance to sound penetration is described as an STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating. Higher STC ratings mean better resistance to sound penetration and noise pollution. Industry tests show that Fold-Form walls have an STC rating of 44 to 52. Typical framed structures have an STC of only 36.* Learn more about other Noise Control solutions from Owens Corning.
