MASS LOADED VINYL
"The Mass of a Partition is the Major Factor in it's Ability to Block Sound"
ADDS MASS
One of the biggest factors in blocking sound transmission through a partition is mass. Adding additional mass to a wall, ceiling, or floor will help reduce sound transmission.
HIGH DENSITY
When planning a soundproofing project, space constraints can become a BIG issue in a SMALL room. MetroFlex Mass Loaded Vinyl is a highly dense material and only takes up an 1/8" of space while providing 1 pound per square foot of mass (MF-10).
FLEXIBILITY
MetroFlex Mass Loaded Vinyl is flexible and can be wrapped around piping, studs, and any other obstructions. Mass Loaded Vinyl provides limp mass which deflects sound and reduces vibration.
APPLICATIONS
MetroFlex Mass Loaded Vinyl has a wide range of applications including walls, ceilings, floors, industrial machinery, household appliances, around pipes, exterior fences, doors, window plugs.
