1.25m by 3m by 2mm thin MLV Soundproofing Mat

Thin Yet Effective

Our 5kg Soundproofing Mat is a flexible 2mm thin mineral loaded soundproofing mat which is designed to block and reduce airborne noise through stud walls and timber joisted floors and ceilings. It is equal to Lead of the same mass in effectiveness and acts as a thin de-coupling sound blocker in stud walls and timber floors. The biggest sound insulation can be achieved when one layer is sandwiched between two sheets of plasterboard on lightweight structures or hung as a curtain behind two sheets of acoustic plasterboard.

One layer of Soundproofing Mat has an insulation value of 24dB, two layers has a value of 29dB and three layers has a value of 32dB. These values are calculated when the soundproofing mat is hung a curtain. The Soundproofing Mat will not offer the same amount of sound isolation when used in a timber wall or timber floor structure but proves that these 5kg Soundproofing Mats are a highly effective method of sound insulation of stud walls, timber floors and ceilings.

For Use On Floors

First ensure the floorboards are securely screwed to the floor so as not to squeak when walked over. Then use our Acoustic Sealant and fill in the joints between the floorboards and around the edge of the room making the floor is as airtight as possible. Then using our Contact Adhesive glue the layers of soundproofing mat to the timber floor.

For Use On Walls and Ceilings

Soundproofing Mat is not suitable for gluing directly onto masonry or stud walls. To get the best results from this product, it should be sandwiched between two layers of high density Acoustic Plasterboard as part of a stud partition soundproofing solution as detailed above and is suitable to help reduce loud noise nuisance when used in this way.
