Since the material weighs 1 pound per square foot, you will need two people to lift the sheet and hold it in place. Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) is the traditional solution for sound proofing interiors easily and effectively.After you score it, you can separate it by tearing it apart. You do not have to cut entirely through the material. We typically use an 8-foot flat bar to guide the cut. Using the utility knife, cut the sound barrier to size.

A 1% opening in a wall loses 50% of the sound-deadening of the wall. The sound barrier material is 54 inches wide, so there will be some overlap in the upper and lower sheets. Installing a sound barrier is not tricky, but as part of an isolation project, it requires attention to detail. Stopping sound usually means absorbing it with mass
