When stapling over a framework you want the scrim side facing you. When laying on a floor have the scrim side facing you. The material has a reinforcing scrim facing on one side.

Seal edges and gaps with flexible sealant.
MASS LOADED VINYL FREE
Ensure floors/walls are clean and free from dust and debris.Its applications in the industrial field range from the soundproofing of booths to the acoustic insulation of machine rooms, gutter pipes and sound damping of metal sheets, etc.įor further information see examples in systems sheets. Mass loaded vinyl is a high quality noise abatement material that can substantially decrease the noise level in your car cabin, with the best results if.Combined with sound-absorbent materials, it offers extremely high acoustic performance.Damping of impact noise caused by rain on metal deck roofs.When bonded to lightweight resonating metal panelling it greatly reduces vibration and re-radiated noise.When stapled over frameworks it greatly improves the overall performance of a lightweight partition.When bonded between stiff rigid sheet materials it greatly reduces the resonance and coincidence dips.Soundproofing against airborne noise in ceilings and floors.

Soundproofing against airborne noise in vertical walls with low surface density (lightweight partition walls or boards made of different materials).Tecsound acoustic membranes provide the best of both worlds: high additional mass and high damping that can be applied uniformly over 100% of the area to be treated. Visco-elastic glues do not add any extra mass to a system and at the end of the day the best way to reduce bass transmission is by having a heavyweight, heavily damped, mass/spring system. Is it too thick? Is it too thin? Has it been applied evenly and consistently? While some systems rely on visco-elastic glues to provide damping the results achieved will vary greatly depending on the application of the glue. However, Tecsound acoustic membrane has tremendous density and mass while remaining extremely flexible. It is acoustically better than lead of the same surface mass, so will help absorb sound energy far more efficiently. Rigid sheet materials such as plasterboard absorb little sound energy because they tend to vibrate and re-radiate sound on the other side quite effectively. Many construction materials and techniques do not provide enough damping. This material has excellent sound insulating properties. The membranes have extremely high visco-elasticity as well as being extremely flexible even in cold temperatures. Tecsound membranes are polymer-based, asphalt-free, high density, synthetic soundproofing membranes, that offer good acoustic insulation in different building elements. Will also provide a degree of impact reduction.Unbeatable flexibility even down to -20☌.Recyclable and made from 68% recycled material fillers Features In fact, you’ll find MLV soundproofing material in music studios serious about quality sound control.Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) Tecsound 100 - Acoustic Membrane The goal of MLV soundproofing is to add dense mass to an enclosed area so that sound waves are blocked from passing through ceilings and walls. A greener, more viable alternative to lead soundproofing, MLV barriers are composed of salts, sands and tiny metal particles that give it sound reducing properties similar to old lead sheeting, but without the stigma associated with Lead based materials. Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) is both tough and effective. Other brands we stock are Danosa, Sound Bloc, and Armasound. A great example of mass loaded vinyl is Nankarrow Isobrane & Texsa Tecsound. In some cases, mass loaded vinyl is denser (heavier per square foot) than sheet lead. Often mass loaded vinyl is sandwiched between sheets of other material, such as between two layers of drywall, to create wall and ceiling covering. Mass loaded vinyl is used for adding mass to walls and ceilings as part of a soundproofing or sound control scheme.ĭue to its flexible nature, this high-density soundproofing material is also non-resonant, dampening vibration caused by sound energy to ensure noise reduction. Mass loaded vinyl, or MLV, also known as limp mass, is a heavy, limp vinyl sheeting material that usually has been impregnated with metal particles to increase its mass.
