What Is Green Glue?
Green Glue is fast to install, easy to use, highly cost effective, and it works. Independent lab tests prove that just one layer of Green Glue between two layers of drywall or other similar building material dissipates up to 90 percent of noise. Unlike competitive soundproofing products, Green Glue cuts out the low frequency noises commonly produced by home entertainment, theater systems, and band rehearsal areas.
Applying Green Glue in regular caulking tubes is the most popular method of applying Green Glue. It is simple to open the tubes and there is no clean-up involved. Also, for large projects you can have multiple people applying the Green Glue with caulking guns which makes installation very quick.
Starting at around .90ยข per square foot, Green Glue delivers unbeatable value and performance. It is perfect for residential and commercial use and is just as easy to use in new construction as it is on existing walls or in renovation projects. Since Green Glue is used as a damping agent you can improve the performance of a wall without worrying about the triple leaf effect which is a common problem with retrofit installations when using resilient sound clip systems.
In addition, Green Glue has been validated for use in any fire rated assembly according to the International Building Code. It also does not contribute to mold growth, is low V.O.C., and has almost no odor. Green Glue can be easily cleaned up while still wet with soap and water.
How Much Green Glue Would I Need?
| Square Foot Coverage For Each Application Level | ||
| Supreme: | 11 square feet per tube | 132 square feet per case |
| Normal: | 16 square feet per tube | 192 square feet per case |
| Good: | 32 square feet per tube | 384 square feet per case |
To calculate your total square footage you will need to multiply the width by the length of your ceiling or width by the height of your wall.

Remember when calculating total square footage, one of the bigger advantages Green Glue has over engineered damping drywall is the fact that there is no waste when using Green Glue.
Review the 3 different application levels:
Supreme: This coverage will provide around a 35% to 45% increase in isolation in low frequencies over Normal coverage, but no improvement over Normal coverage in high frequencies. Supreme coverage is equal to 3 tubes per 4' x 8' sheet of material. Supreme coverage is useful in home theaters, recording studios, and band practice areas.
Normal: This is the recommended amount by the manufacturer. This coverage equals 2 tubes per 4' x 8' sheet of material. This coverage provides great results in both STC ratings (high frequency) and OITC ratings (low frequency).
Good: This level of coverage is for projects on a tighter budget and is equal to 1 tube per 4' x 8' sheet of material. When customers are looking for an alternative to the cost of Green Glue, we typically tell them just use half as much Green Glue. The performance is still very good at this coverage in both high and low frequencies and will outperform products like sound board, homasote, resilient channel, and MLV.

How Do I Apply Green Glue From Tubes?
Green Glue tubes are 28 oz. tubes that fit any standard quart-sized caulking gun. These caulking guns are available at any Home Depot or similar store and can be purchased for around $20. You can also purchase high quality American made caulking guns from us, click here to view our inventory.
If you were using Green Glue in between layers of drywall on your walls or ceiling then you would apply the Green Glue as evenly as possible on the second layer of drywall and then screw the second layer of drywall into the first layer with a standard screw pattern. To help apply Green Glue evenly throughout the layer of drywall dispense the Green Glue in an "S-like" fashion until the tube has been fully dispensed.

Green Glue Testimonials
Actual reviews from past Sound Isolation Store customers.
I could tell right away that Green Glue was the best product for my home theater builds. Installation was less tedious than [engineered damping drywall] and cost considerably less as well. I will definitely be back for more.
- Tim from Illinois
I was honestly surprised that the Green Glue accomplished what your site said it could. My bedroom is once again quiet and my neighbors are no longer an issue. Thanks for all the help!
