TotalSeal Putty Pads are used to keep sound from passing through outlet boxes or other openings in walls and ceilings. Not only are these pads acoustically rated, but they are also fire rated. The biggest difference with our pads compared to our competitors is the size, thickness, and flexibility of our pads. Standard putty pads are .125" thick while our TotalSeal Putty Pads are .2" thick. Our putty pad material is also made of a more flexible material than standard putty pads. This will be clear to you once you feel our putty pads. The difference in quality is obvious.
Outlet boxes are known sound leaks in wall and ceiling assemblies. A wall designed for noise control will not perform to expectations when outlets are unsealed, particularly when outlets are back-to-back in the same stud cavity. The TotalSeal Putty Pads can be hand formed around the back of the outlet box to prevent this common sound leakage problem in stud walls. The STC rating for our putty pads is 61 so the use of these pads will help maintain the higher performance you receive from our other isolation products.
Each case of TotalSeal Putty Pads sold includes 6 pads.
Each TotalSeal Putty Pad is 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" and can easily cover one single gang electrical outlet box. Two pads will be needed for a double gang or triple gang outlet box. Three pads will be needed for a quadruple gang outlet box.
Each case of TotalSeal Putty Pads sold includes 6 pads.
Putty pads should be used any time the aggregate area of the
boxes will exceed 100 square inches per 100 sq. ft. of
wall. Consider each common single gang outlet to be 28 square
inches. Use the formula of width x height x depth = square
inches of outlets. So on a common 8' tall wall that is 12'
long you will need to have 3 single gang outlets or more to need putty
pads.
If you have fewer outlets then we still suggest to make sure
your outlets are completely sealed off. This means the
openings in the back of the outlets where the wires run through need to
be filled with caulk and where the sides of the outlet box meet the
drywall need to be sealed off as well. And of course,
insulate
your walls and have the insulation run behind the outlet box instead of
butting up to the outlet box.

|
| This is a much better setup since sound will have to
travel through the outlet, the insulation, and then through the drywall
to reach the adjacent room. A properly sealed outlet with
acoustical caulk will suffice for this setup as long as your wall does
not contain several outlets. |
