Mass loaded vinyl SOUND BARRIER is a flexible barrier vinyl material designed to block sound from transmitting through the floor or wall it is attached to. Made in a liquid state, with sand added to gain density, this heavy mass product weighs 1 pound per square foot. It is ideal for protecting room B from room A's noise, whether it be through the walls, ceiling or floor. It is also available in 2 lb. per sq. ft. rolls. It should be noted that doubling the layers does not double the effectiveness of the product, but does reduce noise by about another additional 5 Db.

TIPS
The mass (weight) of the SOUND BARRIER is what makes the product work to reduce airborne sound. Cut the pieces into smaller, more manageable sizes as you install it
This heavy layer is placed under the carpet and padding for optimum impact and noise control.
SOUND BARRIER can be laid directly on or under an existing tile or wood floor to make the floor both more comfortable and to reduce transfer of airborne noise.
We recommend caulking the edges with our Acoustical caulk. Use a fine bead of caulk all around the seams of the SOUND BARRIER, sealing any potential leaks. Much like water, sound will pass through the smallest crack, therefore, it is recommended that all seams be caulked or overlapped. Sound Barrier vinyl may also be laid between two layers of plywood, in a sandwich fashion, in either walls or ceilings.
