MLV Acosutic Noise Barrier for Floor Underlayment

The Introduction of soundproof barrier mass loaded vinyl as an effective sound control option was a blessing for architects and engineers. MLV not only offers astounding sound reducing abilities, but is also safe to use and easy to apply. MLV is typically attached to joists or studs, followed by covering seams and joints with acoustic caulking or barrier tape. Once sound caulking is applied, seams are sealed with tape to ensure optimal soundproofing performance.

MLV is commonly used as a carpet underlayment, one type  has a foam backing, the other doesn't.  The foam backing mat is recommended under carpets as it provides a vibration cushion, floating the barrier just off the floor. This helps reduce footfall and impact noise.MLV without the foam cushion would be under the subfloor or in walls and ceilings or as second layer to increase sound reduction even more. The type with closed cell foam is far more effective than the other two types in reducing impact noise.
