What is the Difference Between 1lb and 2lb MLV?
What is MLV and How Does it Work?
Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) is a high-density, flexible material used for sound insulation in construction, automotive, and industrial applications. It’s designed to add mass to walls, ceilings, and floors to block airborne noise effectively by reducing sound transmission.
What's the Main Difference Between 1lb and 2lb MLV?
The numbers 1lb and 2lb refer to the weight per square foot of the MLV. 1lb MLV weighs 1 pound per square foot, while 2lb MLV weighs 2 pounds per square foot. 2lb MLV is denser, thicker, and provides better sound blocking compared to 1lb MLV.
Which One Offers Better Soundproofing?
2lb MLV offers greater sound reduction than 1lb MLV due to its heavier mass. This higher mass helps to block and absorb a broader range of sound frequencies. For high-level noise control, such as in professional studios or industrial settings, 2lb MLV is preferred.
When Should You Use 1lb vs. 2lb MLV?
Use 1lb MLV for residential or light commercial soundproofing where moderate noise reduction is required, and weight or thickness constraints exist. Choose 2lb MLV for heavy-duty applications: machinery rooms, theaters, or situations demanding maximum sound containment.
Are There Differences in Installation and Cost?
2lb MLV is thicker and heavier, which can make installation more challenging and may require stronger support or fastening. It's generally more expensive than 1lb MLV due to its increased material content and mass. However, the investment can be beneficial for demanding soundproofing needs.
