Rubber Mulch for Your Music Studio at Home
1. Sound proofing
It would require thousands of dollars to install Quiet Rocks and professional sound-proofing materials. It would take you a while to collect enough egg boxes to board up your entire studio.
Rubber mulch is an effective and affordable alternative for sound proofing your home studio. It’s readily available in all 50 states. Just pad your walls and your doors and hang a thick curtain over your windows. Your neighbors (or your parents) will no longer complain about the noise, so you can be left alone with your music.
2. Protecting your instruments
Besides sound proofing, rubber mulch can also be used to protect your instruments. Professional guitar stands and sound equipment storage boxes don’t come cheap.
You can take a trip to your local DIY store and grab some plywood and plastic racks. Pad them with rubber mulch and you can safely store your guitars, keyboards, and amplifiers without worrying about scratches.
3. Protecting your floor surface
You can also cover your studio’s floor with rubber mulch. This protects the floor and your instruments. Drum sets leave nasty grooves on the floor. Carpets move, disrupting you when you play. Rubber mulch flooring will protect both your instruments and your floor.
Moreover, rubber mulch is already known to protect athletes and children from fall-related accidents. Having rubber mulch around will give you a safe environment to try out your rock star moves before your gigs.
4. Maintenance
Rubber mulch is weatherproof and durable. It will take years before you need to replace anything. Rubber mulch is also easy to clean—all you need are soapy water and a mop with a long handle to make it easier. You can leave the doors and windows open for the rubber mulch to dry, or you can just leave the fan switched on until everything dries up.
