Description
Our high-performance soundproofing material, Mass Loaded Vinyl with Foil Facing, is made to effectively stop the transmission of airborne noise in a variety of applications. This is a thorough account of how it was made:
- Base Substance: Our proprietary blend of premium vinyl chemicals is used in the production of our Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV). The outstanding density and flexibility of this foundation material are crucial for attaining the best possible soundproofing results.
- Foil Facing: The MLV is laminated with a durable foil facing on one side. This foil facing serves multiple purposes:
- Reflective Barrier: The foil facing acts as a reflective barrier, helping to deflect sound waves and prevent their penetration through the MLV.
- Vapor Barrier: The foil facing provides a barrier against moisture vapor, enhancing the MLV’s resistance to water and moisture infiltration.
- Thermal Insulation: Additionally, the foil facing offers some degree of thermal insulation, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the building assembly.
- Manufacturing Process: To guarantee constant quality and performance, our MLV with foil face is made utilizing cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. With the aid of precise machinery, the vinyl compound is combined, extruded into sheets, and then bonded with the foil face. Strict performance standards are met by implementing quality control methods at every stage of the production process.
- Customization Options: To meet the needs of diverse projects, we provide MLV with foil facing in a range of roll widths and thicknesses. On request, special sizes and configurations are also available.
- Applications: Where moisture management and soundproofing are critical, our MLV with foil face is appropriate for a variety of settings. It can be applied to residential, commercial, and industrial buildings’ walls, floors, ceilings, and HVAC ducts to lessen the transmission of airborne noise and enhance interior comfort.
- Installation: Standard construction methods can be employed to accomplish the simple installation of MLV with foil face. It can be attached to the intended surface using tape, glue, nails, or staples. It is advised to properly caulk edges and seams to optimize soundproofing effectiveness.
