Acoustiblok® produces master rolls of 350 feet that cover 1,575 square feet and weigh 1600 lbs. The rolls have a diameter of 24.5" and are shipped 2 rolls per pallet.
Attenuation of power generators presents quite a challenge. Acoustiblok® produces a 32-ounce per square foot product targeted primarily for the industrial client. Not only are the db readings very high with generators, but also the frequencies are often mid range demanding a very dense material for sound and vibration attenuation. Often we suggest a panel of two layers of 32 oz Acoustiblok® with 2-3 inches of dead air insulation space between the layers. These panels have been very effective in reducing the db numbers to desired levels.
The 32-ounce rolls are 100 ft in length, weigh 900 lbs and have a diameter of 20 inches.

Note the unique characteristic of Acoustiblok as it actually dramatically increases sound blocking at the problematic low frequencies.
