Washers and dryers are used in hotels at all hours of the day and night. Guests that arrive late seldom take into consideration the noise level of the laundry room when they have an appointment the next morning. Most unbalanced washing machines slam into walls when running. Dryers usually have constant metal clicking noises that resonate through hallways. The solution to blocking noise and containing these noise problems are the Quietbarrier^™ and QuietDoor^™. The Quietbarrier^™ can be used to block loud noises caused by loud and unbalanced washing machines. The QuietDoor^™ can be used behind machines and on doors to decouple the energy and vibration plus the added level of sound blocking.
