- Sloped walls and ceilings of attics finished as living areas
- Cathedral or vaulted ceilings
- Around perimeters of slabs
- Floors above vented crawl spaces
- Floors above and beside unheated or open spaces such as over garages or porches
- Basement walls
- Band and Header joists
- Interior walls, ceilings or floors where extra sound control is desired
