What is the difference between 1lb and 2lb mlv? | ASLONG Guide
What is the Difference Between 1lb and 2lb MLV?
1. What do '1lb' and '2lb' Mean in MLV?
'1lb' and '2lb' refer to the weight of Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) per square foot. 1lb MLV weighs 1 pound per square foot, and 2lb MLV weighs 2 pounds per square foot. This weight impacts both performance and handling in sound insulation projects.
2. How Does Thickness and Weight Impact Soundproofing?
The heavier 2lb MLV is also thicker, providing better sound blocking performance than the 1lb variant. For every doubling of mass, sound transmission loss improves by roughly 6 dB, so 2lb MLV is more effective against low-frequency noise.
3. What are the Typical Applications for Each Type?
1lb MLV is commonly used in residential soundproofing projects like walls, floors, and ceilings due to its flexibility and easier handling. 2lb MLV is preferred in commercial, industrial, or high-noise areas like mechanical rooms or studios where higher noise reduction is required.
4. Is There a Difference in Installation?
1lb MLV is easier to cut, handle, and install, making it suitable for DIY purposes. 2lb MLV is heavier and less flexible, often requiring professional installation and stronger support.
5. What About Cost vs Performance?
2lb MLV is more expensive due to its higher material content and improved performance. Choosing between them depends on budget, the level of soundproofing needed, and installation capability.
For selecting the best MLV for your needs, consult the professionals at ASLONG for tailored solutions.
