Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound (Box of 12 Tubes)
Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound (Box of 12) packages the same viscoelastic damping layer in a case sized for a full room-sized retrofit. Applied between two rigid drywall sheets, Green Glue functions as a Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) medium — converting sound-wave mechanical energy into low-grade heat by shearing under vibration. At the recommended 2 tubes per 4'×8' drywall sheet, one box covers approximately 192 sq ft, or six sheets.
- Room-Sized Coverage: 12 tubes cover roughly 192 sq ft (~6 drywall sheets) at the standard rate — the right size for a bedroom, home office, or small studio retrofit.
- Same Proven Compound: Identical formulation to the single tube — viscoelastic, water-based, and low-VOC. Third-party acoustic data supports the STC/IIC lifts documented across our assemblies.
- Lower Per-Tube Cost: Case pricing brings the per-tube cost down versus the singles — the practical middle ground before jumping to the 5-gal bulk pail.
- Standard Bulk-Gun Compatible: Every tube in the box is a standard 28-oz cartridge that fits any standard bulk caulk gun — no follower plate or bulk gun required until you scale up to the pail.

Estimated STC — Planning use only
This value is an approximate assembly projection, not a project-specific assessment, certified laboratory test result or performance guarantee. Actual performance varies with the complete assembly, installation, flanking paths, penetrations and site conditions.
- STC 30-39: Loud speech clearly audible next room.
- STC 40-49: Loud speech muffled — normal residential wall.
- STC 50-59: Loud speech barely audible; suitable for offices & multi-family.
- STC 60+: Approaches studio-grade isolation.
