BlockAid® Vinyl
Sound Barrier, also known as mass loaded vinyl (MLV),
is a limp-mass material used to block unwanted
noise and reduce sound transmission without
reducing space.
Constructed of non-reinforced high temperature
vinyl with no lead fillers, this material is as
heavy as lead, yet is safe and easily cut with a
utility knife.
Originally designed to block transmission of
sound through walls, floors and ceilings,
BlockAid® is also available as a backer for
Cloudscape® Ceiling
Tiles to limit sound flanking over walls
with ceiling grids, in
Quilted Fiberglass Blankets to create
sound enclosures or in
Composite Foam to
quiet noisy machinery. It can also be used as
an effective pipe or duct wrap.
For use in new construction or retrofits, BlockAid® can be installed over studs,
sandwiched between layers of drywall or applied
over existing layers of drywall then covered
with a finish material such as
Sound Channels®
acoustical wall covering.
During installation, be sure to seal any seams
or gaps with an
acoustical caulk.
