Acoustic Paints
If you go to Yahoo! Answers and ask about re-painting your guitar, most of the users will encourage you not to. If you do, they’ll plead with you to ensure that you get the painting done by a professional who knows how to properly handle the wooden instrument. Painting, and all of the prep work behind it, can add a completely different layer of sound to a room; it can alter it, remove certain qualities and certainly magnify others.
Acoustic guitarists know how imperative sound quality is in creating the proper ambiance: isn’t your home as important?
Not everyone is concerned about the acoustics of their room; usually musicians of some variant or another are the only ones interested in maintaining favorable acoustics. However, if you’ve ever lived in the bottom floor of an apartment complex, you understand that sound barriers certainly make a difference.
Different varieties of paint can significantly alter the sound quality of a room. and specialized acoustic paints tend to insulate a room further and can increase the privacy available in any given room. Since Five Star Painting usually favors latex-based paints, it seems we can now offer that slight boost towards a more secure room. A fair amount of people unfortunately discount this method, referencing it as another example of the cliché “snake oil” metaphor; however, several knowledgeable sources subsequently disagree. Although it is not a substitute for full acoustic treatment, it can enhance the sound protection and to some small extent, the sound quality of a room.
Five Star Painting allows you to choose the kind of paint you’d like to use. The next time you need to paint your home, be sure to choose a latex-based paint or specialized acoustic paint if an increase in sound privacy is something you’re interested in. Give us a call 1-866-965-STAR.
