High-Performance Acoustic Barrier for Superior Noise Reduction
If you need effective soundproofing for commercial, industrial, or residential projects, our Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) is a proven, high-performance solution. This dense, flexible acoustic barrier reduces airborne and impact noise across walls, ceilings, floors, partitions, and Intertenancy Wall systems.
Designed for use across New Zealand construction projects, Mass Loaded Vinyl delivers reliable sound control without major structural modifications.
Why Use Mass Loaded Vinyl?
Noise transfer is a common challenge in commercial buildings, factories, multi-unit developments, offices, and shared wall systems such as an Intertenancy Wall. MLV works by adding mass and density to lightweight structures, significantly reducing sound transmission.
Unlike rigid acoustic boards, MLV is flexible and limp, allowing it to:
- Conform to uneven or irregular surfaces
- Wrap around framing and steel studs
- Seal gaps where sound leakage occurs
- Improve acoustic performance in wall and ceiling systems
This makes it suitable for new builds, fit-outs, renovations, and industrial upgrades.
Key Features
- High-Density Acoustic Barrier – Blocks airborne noise effectively
- Flexible & Limp Mass Design – Adapts to framing and structural surfaces
- Reduces Airborne & Impact Noise – Ideal for partitions and Intertenancy Wall systems
- Easy to Cut & Install – Suitable for walls, ceilings, floors, plant rooms, and enclosures
- Durable PVC Construction – Long-lasting, heavy-duty performance
- Minimal Thickness Increase – Improves acoustics without major space loss
Commercial Applications
- Mass Loaded Vinyl is widely used in:
- Office partitions and meeting rooms
- Commercial tenancy separations
- Retail fit-outs
- Multi-storey buildings
Intertenancy Wall upgrades
- Hotels and accommodation facilities
- It helps create private, compliant, and distraction-free environments.
Industrial Applications
In industrial settings, MLV is effective for:
- Machinery enclosures
- Plant rooms
- Generator rooms
- HVAC noise control
- Factory partition walls
- Equipment sound barriers
It reduces mechanical noise and improves workplace comfort while helping meet acoustic compliance requirements.
Residential & Multi-Unit Buildings
MLV is commonly installed:
- Within wall framing before lining
- Over existing walls to improve sound ratings
- In ceilings and floors between levels
- As part of an Intertenancy Wall system
It significantly improves sound insulation without requiring thick structural changes.
Installation Overview
Mass Loaded Vinyl is suitable for professional installers and experienced contractors:
- Measure & Cut – Trim to required dimensions.
- Fix to Structure – Install within framing or over existing surfaces.
- Seal Seams – Overlap joins for optimal acoustic performance.
- Finish Surface – Install plasterboard, lining, or cladding as required.
- For best results in commercial and Intertenancy Wall systems, combine MLV with acoustic insulation and resilient channels.
