MLV Mass Loaded Vinyl Rolls for Wholesale Supply

MLV Mass Loaded Vinyl Rolls for Wholesale Supply

ANIKA mass loaded vinyl for soundproofing is a flexible, high-density barrier layer used within designed wall, ceiling and enclosure systems to help reduce airborne sound transmission. For office buildings, it can add surface mass to partitions separating meeting rooms, private offices and neighbouring workspaces.

Choose the product by its surface mass, thickness and compatibility with the complete assembly. Request a matching datasheet and relevant test documentation when specifying acoustic mass loaded vinyl for a project.

Product Options and Ordering Specifications

Using MLV in Office Soundproofing

• Meeting room partitions. Include a barrier layer within the specified wall construction to help limit speech transmission to adjacent rooms.
• Private offices. Coordinate the partition design with door seals, ceiling voids and service openings to address sound paths around the barrier.
• Ceiling constructions. Use only where the system design provides suitable mechanical support and a compatible lining.

Speech privacy depends on the entire room construction. Check doors, glazing, ventilation and connections between the wall, floor and ceiling alongside the MLV layer.

Thickness, Density and Surface Mass

For material selection, distinguish thickness in mm, density in kg/m³, surface mass in kg/m² and roll weight in kg. A roll weight alone does not establish material density or acoustic performance.

Calculate nominal material weight by multiplying surface mass by roll area. For example, a 10m² roll at 2kg/m² contains approximately 20kg of material before packaging. This is a calculation example; confirm the actual specification for the product ordered.

Installation Planning

1. Confirm the partition or ceiling assembly, fixing schedule and material weight before installation.
2. Measure and cut the sheet to fit, allowing for the specified seam details.
3. Use fixings suitable for the substrate and provide continuous support where required by the design.
4. Seal joints, perimeters and service penetrations with compatible materials.
5. Complete the specified board lining and inspect openings and connecting structures for flanking sound paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does mass loaded vinyl help with soundproofing?

MLV adds a flexible mass layer that can help limit airborne sound transmission within a designed assembly. The result depends on surface mass, the surrounding construction and installation details.

Can MLV improve meeting room privacy?

It can form part of a partition designed for speech privacy. The design must also address doors, glazing, ventilation openings and shared ceiling voids.

Should I use MLV or acoustic panels?

MLV serves as a barrier layer within sound insulation systems. Porous acoustic panels absorb sound within the room to reduce reverberation. A project may require both functions.

What reports should I request?

Request the product datasheet and applicable acoustic, fire or environmental test documents for the exact grade. Check the test standard and whether acoustic results describe the sheet or a complete assembly.

What affects the wholesale quotation?

Thickness, surface mass, roll dimensions, total quantity, packing and delivery terms affect the quotation. Include project test requirements and the destination with your enquiry.
