Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Common House Sound Proofing

[Elana Kann (ekann]

At Westwood, we used Tectum as our roof material. The inside layer is
woven wood fibers that absorb noise very well, the middle layer is
several inches of foam insulation, and the outer layer is plywood
sheathing for roofing to be applied on top. It's a stress-skin panel
that holds in heat well, too, especially combined with our radiant floor
heating. Your architect or engineer probably can find it for you and can
design your CH with this material in mind.
