I got plenty good enough for about £1.5K and a day and a half of DIY for the whole floor area of a London Victorian terrace house. This item: TMS Mass Loaded Vinyl 4 X 25 100 Square Feet 1 Lb MLV Acoustic Barrier 832.64 Acoustical Caulk (6 Tubes) 223.00 Case of Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound - 12 Tube 602.72 Special offers and product promotions Amazon Business Canada Business-only pricing, quantity discounts and free shipping across Canada. I'd do exactly the same again if faced with a similar situation.įor sure there are more effective solutions, you could get a quote for £20K and it would be perfect. Well worth doing, it didn't break the bank, easy DIY that didn't take long and seems to be effective. Haven't heard a peep from downstairs neighbour and she's never complained.

Lastly, the vinyl and barium mixture added to a reinforcing scrim to increase the products tensile strength. All this sealant rubber mat and tape is to make the floors as airtight as possible. It is this high relative density (mass) that gives Mass LoadedVinyl such effective soundproofing capabilities. New skirting boards on top of the MLV with more acoustic sealant beneath and behind them. Biggest sound insulation improvements can be achieved when it is used as one layer between two sheets of plasterboard. Its lightness also means that you can use it on plasterboard without worrying. The combination of thinness and lightness brings an excellent mass-to-thickness ratio, which gives mass-loaded vinyl a considerable advantage over other noise reduction materials. Taped the edges then laid another layer of it with the seams running perpendicular to the layer below, taped the seams again. Despite being thin, the heavily mass loaded vinyl roll blocks sound like champions. I did a bit of research and ended up removing all the skirting boards and sealing all the gaps around the existing chipboard floor sheets using acoustic sealant (I didn't pull the floors up).Īfter this I laid a layer of 2.5mm Mass Loaded Vinyl that you just roll out and is easily cut with a Stanley knife. I wanted to do something to soundproof my floor so I wouldn't disturb the flat below before I moved in to a flat I'd bought.
