    Insulation Packages Needed to Complete Your Project

    1. Measure length and height of area to be insulated.
    2. Multiply length times height to determine total square footage to be insulated.
    3. Measure the distance between the studs to determine the correct insulation width for the job.
    4. Choose appropriate recommended insulation product (or R-value) for your home insulation project.
    5. Divide total square footage to be insulated by square footage per package to determine total number of packages needed for job.
  • Calculate Your Cost. Whatever the cost, it all adds up to reduced noise. Once you figure out how many QuietZone™ Acoustic Batt (or R-11/R-13 fiber glass insulation) packages you'll need, determine the approximate cost using the information below:

    To find the cost per R-value package:

    • Call or visit an insulation dealer in your area to determine individual package cost. Refer to Where To See and Buy to get a list of insulation dealers in your area.

    To figure your total insulation product cost, use this formula:

    # of packages needed x cost per roll = total sound control product cost

    NOTE: Always remember to round up when figuring your number of packages needed. This will save you from returning to the store to get an extra insulation package.
