Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV)
Sound Barrier

A high-density, flexible acoustic barrier designed to reduce airborne noise transmission through common building assemblies. Ideal for apartments, villas, cinemas, gyms, studios, MEP rooms, and partitions.

Flexible & easy to layer into build-ups
Works with drywall, blockwork & metal stud
Cut-to-size rolls & accessories available

Overview

MLV is commonly used as an added “mass layer” inside wall, ceiling, and floor systems to help reduce sound transmission.

What it does

Adds mass to a partition to reduce airborne noise passing through it (conversation, TV, traffic, machinery noise).

Where it goes

Between layers of gypsum board, behind cladding, inside stud walls, or under floor finishes as part of a system.

How we help

Supply, detailing guidance, compatible tapes/sealants, and installation recommendations for UAE site conditions.

Important: MLV performance depends on the full assembly (layers, cavity insulation, decoupling, sealing, and flanking paths). For best results, treat it as part of a complete soundproofing system.

Key Benefits

Write benefits in plain language for homeowners, and keep technical notes for consultants.

High density in a thin layer

Helps improve sound isolation without needing thick constructions—useful where space is limited.

Flexible & easy to install

Typically supplied in rolls; can be cut and applied to large areas with minimal joints.

Works across multiple applications

Walls, ceilings, floors, ducts, enclosures, and machinery noise barrier applications (project dependent).

Compatible accessories

Acoustic sealant, jointing tapes, and perimeter sealing details help avoid performance loss from gaps.

Typical Wall Build-Up (Example)

Gypsum board + MLV layer + cavity insulation + gypsum board, with all perimeters sealed. (Replace with your recommended systems.)

Typical Floor Use (Example)

As part of a floating floor or underlayment system (where suitable), with correct detailing to prevent flanking. (Project dependent.)

Applications

Pick the 6–10 most common UAE use cases. Add project photos if you have them.

Bedrooms & Apartments

Reduce neighbor noise through party walls or ceilings (assembly dependent).

Home Cinemas

Improve isolation of walls/ceilings to keep sound inside the room.

Gyms & Studios

Part of a system to limit music & voice transfer to adjacent spaces.

MEP / Plant Rooms

Used in partitions or enclosures to reduce transmitted airborne noise.

Offices & Meeting Rooms

Boost privacy by improving wall/partition performance.

Retail & F&B

Support comfort and compliance where noise complaints are common.

FAQ

Short, direct answers—great for conversions and for your developer to implement as collapsible items.

Is MLV enough on its own?

Usually it works best as part of a full assembly: sealing, cavity insulation, and correct detailing matter a lot.

Where is it installed in a wall?

Commonly between gypsum layers or behind finishes. We recommend placement based on your wall type and target performance.

How do I avoid losing performance?

Seal perimeters and penetrations, overlap/join correctly, and address flanking paths (doors, ducts, ceiling voids).

Can you supply installation?
