# How to Apply Mass Loaded Vinyl for Effective Sound Insulation

Mass loaded vinyl (MLV) is a high-density material used to block sound transmission in walls, floors, and ceilings. Proper installation ensures optimal performance. Below are key steps and best practices for professionals.

Pre-Installation Considerations

- Assess Noise Sources: Identify airborne or impact noise to determine MLV thickness (1-2 lb/sq ft).

- Surface Preparation: Clean and dry surfaces to ensure adhesion. Repair cracks or gaps.

- Material Handling: Unroll MLV 24 hours before installation to relax the material.

Installation Methods

1. Direct Adhesive Application

- Use high-quality acoustic adhesive or spray glue.

- Apply adhesive evenly to the substrate or MLV.

- Press firmly, avoiding air pockets.

2. Mechanical Fastening

- Secure MLV with staples, nails, or screws (spaced 6-12 inches apart).

- Overlap seams by 2-3 inches and seal with acoustic tape.

3. Floating Floor or Wall Applications

- Layer MLV under flooring or behind drywall for enhanced soundproofing.

- Combine with resilient channels for decoupling.

Post-Installation Tips

- Seal edges and seams with acoustic caulk or tape.

- Avoid punctures that compromise density.

- Test sound transmission post-installation for effectiveness.

Why Choose ASLONG MLV?

- High-density, flexible, and fire-resistant.

- Complies with ASTM and ISO soundproofing standards.

For expert-grade sound insulation, proper MLV application is critical. Follow these guidelines for superior noise control.
