Auralex® Studiofoam® vs. the others – beware!!!

Beware of cheap, knock-off foam products. You can rest easy when you buy Auralex® products.

Auralex® patented fire-retardant Studiofoam® is important to use because it adds a layer of safety when using foam materials in buildings, studios, theaters, offices, or even home environments. Here’s why it matters:

   1. Reduces Fire Risk

• Regular foam (like untreated polyurethane) can ignite quickly and spread flames fast.
• Fire-retardant foam, such as Auralex® Studiofoam®, is chemically treated to resist ignition, slow down burning, and reduce flame spread.

   2. Buys Time in an Emergency

• Slowing down how quickly fire can spread gives people more time to escape.
• This can be the difference between safe evacuation and dangerous exposure.

   3. Meets Building & Safety Codes

• Many public spaces, schools, studios, and workplaces are required by law to use fire-retardant materials.
• Compliance avoids legal issues and ensures the space is safe for occupants.

  4. Critical in Acoustic Treatment

• Auralex patented Acoustical Studiofoam (used in recording studios, theaters, or auditoriums) cover large wall and ceiling areas. If they weren’t fire-retardant, they’d act like giant fuel sources in case of fire.
• Fire-retardant foams reduce that hazard while still providing sound absorption.

  5. Peace of Mind

• Even in private studios or home theaters, using fire-retardant Auralex Studiofoam helps protect your investment and safety.

In short: fire-retardant foam doesn’t make a space fireproof, but it significantly reduces fire dangers, slows flame spread, and provides critical safety for both people and property.
