Green Glue Company

Overview

Green Glue Company produces noiseproofing compounds for acoustic treatment, primarily used in constrained layer damping between drywall layers to improve sound isolation in walls, floors, and ceilings. The brand is known in professional audio, studio construction, and soundproofing markets for transforming standard building materials into effective sound barriers, though test data availability has been limited since around 2011.

History

Founded in 2004, the company developed Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound as a damping material for sound control. It gained recognition for outperforming some factory-laminated soundproof drywall in independent tests. The company was sold by its founder, after which Saint-Gobain acquired it and reportedly changed the formula, leading to removal of test data from the website.

Reputation

Professionals in studio building and acoustics view Green Glue as effective for improving STC ratings by 7-10 points over standard drywall assemblies, comparable to thicker walls. Criticisms include limited recent independent test data, formula changes after acquisition potentially affecting performance, and some user tests showing inferior results to alternatives like carpet glue.
