Homasote Company
Overview: Homasote® structural fiberboard products are used in residential and commercial buildings and are listed under ESR-1374 by the International Code Council.. Among its applications are sound control, roof decking, tackable panels, concrete forming board, expansion joint, exterior vertical insulating sheathing, and, under the Pak-Line® brand, custom and stock industrial packaging, primarily for the metal, glass, stone, appliance and converting industries. Homasote 440 Sound Barrier® is controlling sound in millions of square feet of floor and wall/ceiling assemblies. It is a special-density, structural board made from 98 percent recycled cellulose. Homasote® board, with twice the R-value of wood, also is uniformly manufactured with protection against termites, and resistance to mold, mildew and moisture. An internationally known environmental icon, Homasote Company is America’s oldest green building manufacturer, the oldest manufacturer of of its kind in the Americas. Each production day Homasote Company recycles (and keep out of landfills) up to 250 tons of post-consumer paper. Every production year our unique manufacturing process helps conserve nearly 1.4 million trees and eliminates up to 65 million pounds of solid waste that otherwise would go into landfills. Homasote Company’s environmental commitment extends beyond raw material recycling. It is the first manufacturer in the United States to recycle nearly all water used to manufacture its products. Process water, hundreds of thousands of gallons per day, is completely reused in a closed-loop system, a recycling feat recognized in a 1956 award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (precursor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). A leader in green building years before the first Earth Day was celebrated, Homasote Company naturally is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council. From sound control for floors and walls, to tackable interior panels, to roofing products, Homasote Company has a broad range of products with up to 98 percent post-consumer content that can help contribute towards LEED™ credits in several categories.
Homasote 440 Sound Barrier is UL listed and appears in the UL Fire Resistance Directory in the U305, U 309 & V305 wood stud walls and in the U411, U465 and V448 metal stud walls; all with hourly fire-ratings. 440 Sound Barrier is also in most of the L500 series hourly UL floor/ceiling assemblies, installed over the structural sub-floor. This panel can be used over concrete subfloors also. 440 Sound Barrier can be used under any finish floor, even ceramic tile.

It is ideal as a tackable wall and ceiling paneling, decorative or functional display wall and tack board, or tackable substrate for other fire-rated wall coverings. It can be used as a structural component (such as wall sheathing), or as noise-deadening, resilient carpeting underlayment. It is used anywhere flame rating is a factor:
[ - ] Roof Insulation
Uses: Thermasote nail base insulation is designed for application over Homasote roof decking, wood, or other structural decking, to provide insulation and energy conservation. It is particularly useful as roof insulation in exposed beam systems where the most efficient location of insulation is above the structural deck, and the use of asphalt, fiberglass or wood shingles, slate or tile requires that they be installed over a nail base substrate. It can also be used as a sound deadening component in ceilings and floors.
