Mass Loaded Vinyl Acoustic Barrier

Product Description:

The Mass Loaded Vinyl mlv sound barrier is a specialized soundproofing material designed to control noise and enhance the acoustics of any space. Constructed with high-density vinyl combined with additional materials such as barium sulfate or calcium carbonate, MLV increases mass to block and deflect sound waves effectively. Its superior soundproofing capabilities make it ideal for reducing the transmission of airborne noise, such as traffic sounds, machinery noise, and loud neighbors.
