Acoustiblok Names John Helms III IT Manager

Oct. 27, 2009 - PRLog -- Tampa, Florida – Acoustiblok, Inc. has announced that John Helms III has been named IT Manager for its Tampa headquarters.

Helms, a native of Greenwood, Mississippi, moved to the Tampa area in early 2009. Before joining the Acoustiblok team, he worked as Network Administrator for the Memphis Daily News, and previously held the same position at Dunavant Enterprises in Memphis.

Acoustiblok, Inc. manufactures and distributes Acoustiblok®, its revolutionary sound abatement material and aerogel-based Thermablok® insulation material. UL approved Acoustiblok transforms acoustical energy into inaudible friction energy in a process sometimes referred to as "isothermal adiabatic". Just one thin 1/8 inch layer of acoustiblok in a standard stud wall can reduce more sound than 12 inches of concrete.

Developed in conjunction with NASA, Thermablok’s aerogel insulation material greatly decreases energy waste by reducing thermal bridging in walls. US Department of Energy and J&M Laboratory tests reveal that adding just one, ¼-inch (60mm) strip of Thermablok® aerogel on one edge of the metal studs in a wall before drywalling can increase the R-value by over 40%! NASA’s nanotechnology Aerogel is the highest insulating material in existence.
