Steps to Soundproof a Wall

Measure the height of the wall. Roll out the 2lb Luxury Liner so the length of the material matches the wall's height. Cut Luxury Liner using a sharp utility knife and a T-square to ensure you make a straight cut. You can also cut Luxury Liner with a good pair of upholstery scissors. Just be careful you don't make crooked cuts!
Fasten Luxury Liner to the wall using staples, screws or nails. Start attaching Luxury Liner at the top of the wall, and work your way across ensuring the MLV stays straight. Be sure to add enough fasteners to support the 2lb Luxury Liner weight before allowing it to hang.
The preferred installation method is to install Luxury Liner to a wall that has insulation and framing, but no drywall yet. There are a variety of installation methods that will improve performance, such as sound isolation clips or a double wall, but if you are not an experienced installer, we recommend to just focus on the basics, and ensure you have a sturdy install that is airtight and gapless.
If the wall already has drywall, we recommend removing the existing drywall. If you choose to install Luxury Liner on top of drywall, it must be attached to the studs or joists. Drywall will not support the weight of Luxury Liner.
After you've finished attaching Luxury Liner to the studs and the bottom of the wall, repeat the steps you just did for your second cut off the MLV roll. Do not cover any wall outlets or light switches. Leave them exposed.
As you work your way across the wall, keep the ends directly next to each other. (AIRTIGHT!) If the edges connect on a stud, use acoustic caulk to seal the gap. If the edges connect over an air gap, use foil tape to seal the edges.
After you've finished getting the Luxury Liner up on the wall, use your acoustic sealant caulk to seal ALL of the edges, both between the sheets of MLV and between the Luxury Liner and the wood studs. THIS IS A KEY STEP TO ENSURE YOUR BARRIER IS AIRTIGHT. If you have not hung drywall, now's the time to begin installing 5/8" drywall on top of the Luxury Liner.

Have a Smaller Project? You should take a look at getting a pre-cut thick vinyl sheet.

Luxury Liner 2 lb MLV is a great sound blocker. You can create a barrier with it or use it as part of an overall wall assembly. It has an STC rating of 32. Here is how it performs across the frequency range:

Frequency (Hz)	125	250	500	1000	2000	4000	STC Rating
Luxury Liner 2 lb MLV	19	20	27	34	38	43	32

Yes, 2 lb MLV is worth choosing over 1 lb when you need maximum sound blocking and if you are dealing with lower frequency noise. The 2 lb roll rates STC 32, six points above the 1 lb roll at STC 26. It is twice the weight per square foot, so plan on more help when you hang it.

Luxury Liner 2 lb MLV is best used to soundproof walls in homes, condos, apartments, offices, music rooms, bars, and restaurants. It also works in mechanical rooms and manufacturing facilities, and on enclosures, pipes, and HVAC ducts.

Luxury Liner 2 lb MLV works by being installed at 100% coverage. Measure the square footage you want to cover and choose roll sizes that add up to it. Allow a little extra for seams and cutouts. Every project is different. Call us at 1-800-679-8511 to speak with one of our soundproofing experts about how much you need.
