MLV doesn’t look great and comes in blank or grey but believe it or not you can paint it! If you do it carefully you can make a pretty feature out of it.

If your floor is already down you can attach MLV to the floor using spray adhesive. This will minimise both impact and airborne noise.

This makes it perfect for party walls, and anywhere to help prevent sound getting in or out. It’s fairly obvious but it’s used a lot as a soundproof layer to add to (mainly) walls. These are the main soundproofing features along with being fire resistant (but not fireproof) and completely safe to be placed in a home when properly installed. MLV bends and can be used to wrap around pipes or curves making it far more versatile.

Many soundproofing materials are rigid and come in sheets or tiles which can make it more difficult to install in tight spaces or ones that are irregularly shaped. Most soundproofing materials either absorb or block but MLV does both which makes it doubly effective.
