We do not recommend mass loaded vinyl for floor soundproofing, where you should use our UnderBlock rubber underlayment instead.
CHEAP MASS LOADED VINYL GENERATOR
It’s extremely effective for commercial use across a variety of projects, and often used to reduce noise transmission in in soundproofing ceilings, walls, machinery enclosures, ductwork, fencing, and HVAC or generator enclosures. Any gaps or seams should be sealed with acoustical sealant and foil tape.īecause mass loaded vinyl is flexible, it’s the ideal noise blocking material to fit around the contours of a vehicle to block airborne engine, tire, and road noise. The MLV is attached directly to the studs or joists with 100% coverage, except for small cutouts for outlet boxes, light switches and any other penetrations. Mass loaded vinyl is most commonly used in commercial buildings as part of a soundproof wall or ceiling assembly. One of the most common uses for MLV is soundproofing walls. MLV is odorless, heat resistant, waterproof, tear resistant, and has a high STC rating for effective noise blocking. It’s most often bought in large rolls, but Second Skin also sells sheets because they’re much easier to ship and some projects need less square footage. Mass loaded vinyl is typically colored black with a density between 1 lb and 2 lbs per square foot. Manufactured from PVC vinyl that has been compounded with inert materials to increase density, MLV is well suited for automotive, industrial, and building applications. Safer than lead and denser than drywall, mass loaded vinyl is a high density, limp material that’s engineered to be an effective sound barrier. Mass loaded vinyl (or MLV) is an acoustical barrier that blocks sound wave transmission to provide excellent noise reduction.
