What is Silenseal?
Anyone planning a soundproofing project should take some time to familiarize themselves with the myriad of soundproofing products available. While Green Glue is one of the most popular, Silenseal Acoustical Sealant comes in second, something no soundproofing project is truly complete without.
No matter the size of your project, you will probably need to use some type of acoustical putty. Small soundproofing projects, which simply involve sealing cracks or gaps, will be very easy to carry out. To complete larger jobs, you’ll need to caulk the seams between your new layers of drywall. No matter what you are doing, you will find Silenseal to be the best acoustical sealant to choose.

Silenseal, as mentioned, is one of the most popular acoustical putties used by soundproofing experts. Silenseal has been proven to provide a very high STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating in almost all situations, ensuring you end up with a truly soundproof room. This particular product has been used in a wide variety of projects, including homes, apartments, condominiums, office buildings, conference rooms, hotels, and more.
It’s easy to use? Of course! Silenseal comes in a tube that easily slides into a caulking gun. You can apply the acoustic sealant to metal, concrete, drywall, and even wood. It’s easy to apply and, if you make a mistake, easy to clean up with soap and water.
How expensive is Silenseal?
Silenseal is around $90 for a box of 12 or $35 for a box of 4 tubes, but it can often be found on sale. Its low price makes it one of the most affordable acoustical sealants available.
The amount of use you get from each tube will vary depending on the type of project you are completing. If you use a ¼-inch-thick bead, for example, you’ll get about 89 linear feet of pipe. If you use a ½-inch-thick bead, on the other hand, you’ll only get 22 linear feet.
Silenseal is a non-flammable material with a number of advantages. It is considered VOC compliant and will not stain or bleed through surfaces to which it is applied. It is both adhesive and cohesive, making it flexible enough to use in a variety of situations.
Acoustic putty is a must when it comes to completing almost any soundproofing project. Add it to your product list to investigate as you plan your next project!
