The Troy "Bark!" System for animal shelters and kennels delivers superior noise absorption (NRC) as well as barrier (STC) making for a more pleasant environment for our furry friends and humans alike. The Troy System consists of Wood Fiber boards and mineral backing wool and can be installed easily with local labor using Troy designs.

Specification

Wood Fiber and Portland Cement Boards
Troy Boards (TB) are produced from Portland Cement and wood fibers resulting as the superior acoustical performance material for loud noise environments. Troy Boards are low VOC and are sourced from sustainably managed forest. Troy Wool (TW) is a 2.5 lbs. density mineral wool, produced from Basalt rocks. The Troy System materials TB and TW are natural and organic in composition.
